Q: There are other demo events. How does this differ?
A: This is the only event focused on the top electronic entertainment & video game companies. If your company is shaping the future of digital entertainment, this is your event. And it's the only one produced by Pepcom, the leader in technology showcase events.

Q: How do I know these events will work for us?
A: We have a proven track record of success. Our recent Digital Experience!, MobileFocus, and DigitalFocus events at the major tech trade shows were each sponsored by dozens of companies and attended by hundreds of press. Our events have a justified reputation for being the best for both sponsors and attending press.

Q: Who shows up for these events?
A: We invite only top-tier press and analysts, ensuring we draw the people you want to reach. Plus, the shared brand equity of so many major sponsor companies helps draw a big crowd. Typically, the press audience includes a wide variety of business, technology and consumer media such as ABC, Business Week, CBS, CNN, CNET, Fast Company, Forbes, Fortune, Fox, Internet Week, L.A. Times, MSNBC, NBC, Newsweek, The New York Times, PC Magazine, PC World, Popular Science, Rolling Stone, Smart Business, Time, USA Today, and the Wall Street Journal -- to name a few.

Q: Can I invite press to the event?
A: We handle all of the invites, RSVPs, and follow up, so you're free to concentrate on your own media efforts. By coordinating with us, we'll make sure only the best press get invited to the event. We're happy to add any qualified media to the invite list if they aren't on it or discuss any plans with you.

Q: Do I have to be an exhibitor at a particular trade show to be part of these receptions?
A: No, not at all. These events can serve either as a targeted and cost-effective adjunct to booth exhibits, or an efficient alternative for those not exhibiting at a particular trade show.

Q: Are you associated with or sponsored
by the trade shows?

A: No. The eFocus showcase is an independent event, and Pepcom has no association with the trade show. We simply take advantage of the timing of the shows to provide an effective event for you and the press.

Q: Who handles event promotion?
A: We handle all of the press invitations and follow-up, as well as the web site promotion (including hyperlinks and online RSVP). You can do your own pre-show publicity as you see fit.

Q: Why don't you have any speeches or panels?
A: These are demo events. We provide a chance for sponsors and guests to interact informally. No preset agenda also means press can attend on their own schedule.

Q: Do I get a list of attending press?
A: Absolutely! We collect business cards from all attendees. After the event, we send an electronic file with all attendee information that you may use for future press or publicity efforts.

Q: Can we bring banners, pop-ups, or other booth-style exhibits?
A: No. To preserve the more intimate, cocktail-party feel of the events, we don't permit banners or booth-style exhibits. All materials must fit atop your table. That puts everyone on an equal footing, and makes it easy to set up and break down. The press also prefer this low-key approach.

Q: Can I be guaranteed a special position?
A: We do our best to accommodate requests to be near (or far from) certain other vendors. Such requests should be made as early as possible.

Q: What's the difference between your events?
A: DigitalFocus showcases digital imaging, while MobileFocus does the same for portable technologies. eFocus is all about digital entertainment.

Q: Can I also reserve a spot now in future Pepcom events?
A: Yes, you can. Our calendar is listed on the website. Or you can call or e-mail us for more information.
