Title: Opportunity to Exhibit at CES on the Hill

Friends

 

Mike Gerber has suggested our members might be interested in this demonstration opportunity.  We did demonstrations like this on the Hill in the early days of CAP.  We do not have a budget for this but if enough members are interested we could ask the Adoption/Events&Demos group if they will support it and see if we can find funding.  Individual companies are also welcomed to respond also but today may be the last day. 

 

Cheers,

 

Elysa Jones, Chair OASIS

Elysa,

Maybe OASIS CAP would want to apply for this opportunity?  The focus could be on how CAP is/could be integrated with all kinds of consumer electronics to improve public safety.

Exhibit at CEA's Sixth Annual CES on the Hill

Wednesday, April 15, 2015
6-8 PM
Rayburn House Office Building Cafeteria (B-357)

 

The Consumer Electronics Association (CEA)^® will hold CES on the Hill this spring in the Rayburn House Office Building. In this prime location on Capitol Hill, exhibitors will have the opportunity to demonstrate products and services at the heart of ongoing tech policy issues to a congressional audience. Last year CES on the Hill exposed more than 500 attendees, including 40 members of Congress, to the innovations driving some of today’s most critical technology policy debates.

Does your company have a product or service that policymakers
should see and interact with?
 

If so, please email COTH@CE.org by Tuesday, February 17 with the following information:
 

1.     The name of your company.

2.     Your contact information including email, phone number, and the address of your company’s corporate headquarters.

3.     The commercial name of the product(s), technology or service(s) your company wishes to showcase at CES on the Hill.

4.     An explanation of how the product relates to current or future tech-related public policy issues and topics.

5.     A brief description of how the product(s), technology or service(s) will be displayed at CES on the Hill, and if applicable how guests will be able to interact with the displayed technology. Please note, each company’s product is limited to a 6-foot draped exhibit table.

Exhibitor selection will be significantly based on the relevance of the product to key CEA public policy priorities such as support for innovation, patent litigation reform, high-skilled immigration, free trade, spectrum use, accessibility, sustainability, energy efficiency, safe driving, privacy or product safety.

In order to defray the costs of the event (including catering, set-up and marketing), CEA member companies selected to participate in CES on the Hill will be assessed a $1,000 fee and non-members will be assessed a fee of $5,000.* Due to room restrictions, please note that exhibit set-up time will be restricted to 60 minutes on the day of the event.
