That's excellent research regarding the point, "76% of last year’s exhibitors launched new products at this event. Seems to be the place to do it. It is worth reading this review of last year’s event by those who attended and if you look at some of the names it is clearly a go to event for the industry", fairchildisback. Why? That might explain why Suresh chose the CIEO as the place to announce products and or partnerships (partnership is a forward-looking stretch by me, but possible?).
The fact that 76% of the exhibotors announced new products last year shows the importance of this event to the industry at large. Often people criticize why does someone do this or that, but we do not necessarily know the nuances in the industry like those in the industry do. Perhaps here there will be much more bang for the dollar?
