VDA Productions, a provider of 3D marketing experiences and design solutions for corporate meetings, tradeshows, themed events, exhibits, themed retail environments and corporate facilities, received a Gala Award for the successful product launch of its Charging Valet in the category of Best New, Innovative Event Product/ Technology on Jan. 18. The award was presented by Special Events magazine at The Special Event 2013 conference.
The Charging Valet allows customers the flexibility to not have to choose between continuous conference engagement and charging their mobile technology. Conference attendees frequently miss out on some aspect of the total conference experience in order to maintain connectivity through their fully charged device.
While most conferences provide self-service locations for attendees to plug-in, the Valet enables the user to attend a break-out session or continue on the tradeshow floor without having to stand next to their device and wait for it to charge.
“The Charging Valet is a game-changer for the events industry,” said Meghan Welborn, director of sales and marketing, VDA Productions. “It debuted at the EMC World, 2012 Conference with two-hundred fifty charging positions and was at capacity over the course of the four day conference. The success is a result of the intersection of functionality, practicality, and clear sponsorship opportunity, and is a testament to the incredible creativity and ingenuity of the VDA design team.”
