What is the Government Innovations Expo?
Government Innovations Expo 2008 (GIE) is a collection of two major expos designed to help companies like yours target key decision makers at all levels of government. The East Exhibit Hall, located in Washington DC, will place your solution in front of senior federal government and defense executives; the West Exhibit Hall, located in Las Vegas NV, will target senior state and city & county government decision makers. Together, Government Innovations Expo 2008 presents the ideal setting for your company to promote thought leadership and showcase your solutions to a highly targeted audience of senior-level decision makers in every government market.

Dear Government Solutions Provider:
Each year, a coalition of good government groups convenes two major expos which offer government leaders a peer-to-peer exchange of best practices in government. Each event brings hundreds of senior government decision-makers seeking the latest cutting-edge solutions for federal, defense, state and city & county government. Whether you already work with government or want to expand your reach into a $3 trillion government market with high demand for your products and services, you will want to showcase your solutions at the Government Innovations Expo 2008.

TARGETED: Access Key Decision Makers at Target Maturity Levels
Government Innovations Expo 2008 will provide you with the opportunity to interact with the government’s most influential decision-makers from all levels of government. Because each conference presents the latest innovations and best practices in government management, your company can be at the forefront – in a highly visible and important position – to showcase and demonstrate to the most senior government leaders how your company can provide the solutions they need.

TAILORED: Extend Invitations to a Customized ‘Wish List’ of Key Prospects
GIE 2008 is not like many trade shows which leave you lost in a crowd of low level attendees. At the Government Innovations Expo 2008, our staff will personally work with your team to develop a customized “wish list” of key sales targets [past, current, and prospective clients]. Once the wish list is developed, GIE staff will then contact your “must-have” list and work with you to extend personalized invitations and co-branded marketing material to these decision makers. At the event, on-site staff will facilitate quality introductions to help build the relationships necessary to initiate new business.

BUSY: Designated High Volume Times
GIE staff has years of experience in highlighting the most cutting-edge private sector solutions for government, so we understand that quality business leads requires signifi cant face time with your target audience. As such, we will drive traffic directly to your exhibit area at set networking times included in the conference agendas.

EXCLUSIVE: Increased Presence with Limited Competition
Because the GIE 2008 also features an educational forum attracting the government’s most upper echelon, this event is limited to under 30 exhibitors. That means getting out of the typical trade show environment and away from your competition. At Government Innovations Expo 2008, you’ll receive more face time with government leaders that possess the ability to make decisions on purchasing your product. With even more options for getting attention for your products and services, Government Innovations Expo 2008 is a collection of opportunities not to be missed.

Sincerely,
Carl DeMaio
President and Founder
