Computer products distributor D&H Distributing will be hosting its sixth annual Mid-Atlantic Fall Technology Show next week, Wednesday, Nov. 7, at the Hershey Lodge and Convention Center in Hershey, PA. The event is expected to attract 1,000 attendees, made up predominantly by VARs and channel pros.†
More than 100 manufacturer partners will participate in the event, including new D&H partners FAVI Entertainment, Promise Technologies, and Biscotti Inc., each of which will be spotlighted in D&H’s latest Emerging Technology Pavilion.
According to D&H, the 2012 fall show will include seven seminars from industry partners. These include Microsoft, Cisco, Intel, HP, and Lenovo. Additional exhibitors include Acer, ASUS, Canon, Creative, Epson, Hauppauge Computer Works, JVC, Kensington, LG Electronics, Logitech, NVIDIA, Philips, Ricoh, Toshiba, Samsung, WatchGuard, and others.
Microsoft will host an enhanced “Device Bar,” giving attendees access to a collection of live ultrabooks, notebooks, and tablet devices, including Windows 8 models. Units to be demonstrated at the Device Bar include the Acer Aspire S3 Ultrabook, ASUS Eee B121 slate, ASUS UX31E Zenbook Ultrabook, Lenovo U300S Ultrabook, Samsung Series 7 Ultrabook, Samsung 900X Ultrabook, and the Toshiba Portege Z835 notebook.
The show floor will offer a series of specialty exhibits, including a D&H Solutions Booth manned by Beabloo featuring its digital marketing solutions.
At the D&H Cares booth, attendees who donate non-perishable food items or a $5.00 contribution can earn raffle tickets for a prize. All the proceeds go to the Ronald McDonald House in Hershey, PA.
D&H customers will be granted special, one-day only pricing on the exhibit floor, as is the norm at the distributor’s trade shows.
“We’re in the midst of two large-scale releases from Microsoft, and the Ultrabook and tablet trends are still going strong,” says D&H vice president of marketing Mary Campbell. “Those two elements make it a particularly exciting time to present a comprehensive product showcase.”
