In general,
there are three different types of Trade Shows,
which are:
|
|
Consumer Trade Shows
|
Consumer Trade Shows like the Auto Show, Boat Show and Home & Garden Show that travel around the country that anyone can pay the admission to attend. These shows are for local distributors and retailers to promote sales to consumers.
|
|
Invention Trade Shows
|
Invention Trade Shows are where inventors can exhibit their inventions in hopes of attracting a manufacturer. Booth space is somewhat expensive. Clients who have attended invention-only trade shows have reported some level of dissatisfaction. Attendance is open to the public.
|
|
Industrial Trade
Shows
|
Industrial Trade Shows represent specific industries—most of them having at least one national trade show held in a major city each year with smaller regional trade shows held throughout the country. Industry trade shows are usually sponsored by a trade association. Attendance is restricted to trade professionals and booths are sold to companies with products to sell to distributors and retailers.
|
|
The InventSAI Network is represented at the Industrial Trade Shows by Ad~Gen and not at Consumer or at Invention Trade Shows. SAI's goals at the Industrial Trade Shows are to: |
- renew
industry contacts;
- develop
new contacts;
- learn
about current trends; and,
- when
possible, discuss client patent pending
products.
|
There is no charge for trade show attendance services because SAI and Ad~Gen attend these shows institutionally for the benefit of all our clients, as well as for the benefit of The InventSAI Network. A list of scheduled Industrial Trade Shows is available. (click
