MONTREAL'S LINUX EXPO NORTH AMERICA
|
||
ITS SUCCESS LEADS THE WAY TO AN AMERICAN TOUR
|
||
THE EVENT WILL RETURN TO MONTREAL IN 2001
|
||
|
||
|
||
Montreal, April 18, 2000 - The first ever Linux Expo North America was a
|
||
marked success. Close to 4,500 visitors made their way through the snow storm
|
||
to attend the Expo at Palais des Congr<67>s. The slight shortfall in the number of
|
||
visitors due to Mother Nature's whimsy was more than made up for in the
|
||
discernible quality of visitors. The success of this first edition set the tone
|
||
for future shows in Toronto in October and in Montreal in April 2001.
|
||
|
||
"The comments we've received from the majority of our 102 exhibitors confirm
|
||
that our choice of quality versus quantity of visitors, was indeed the best
|
||
strategy for positioning our event as one of the great shows in the Linux North
|
||
America circuit" declared St<53>phane Labrouche, V.P. and Director General of Sky
|
||
Events, show organizers. "A targeted audience provides greater business
|
||
potential for the exhibitors" he added. This point was brought home to us by
|
||
Bill Weinberg, Marketing Director for MontaVista Software, one of the larger
|
||
exhibitors. He explained "We gathered 150 quality leads here and plan to
|
||
develop these contacts into strong business alliances. Our participation in the
|
||
last Linux World Expo in New York, had opened doors for us but nothing compared
|
||
to what we accomplished in Montreal."
|
||
|
||
The exhibitors and hundred of journalists praised the outstanding quality and
|
||
professionalism of show organizers. "The organization is flawless on all
|
||
levels. Comdex organizers could learn a lot from these people" stated Melissa
|
||
London in charge of Public Relations for Red Hat. "It is our goal to organize
|
||
shows that are conducive to building strong business alliances at a lesser cost
|
||
that what can be found in the States" declares St<53>phane Labrouche, "We have
|
||
blended our organization's commitment to quality with Montreal's cordial and
|
||
friendly atmosphere." A winning combination that will undoubtedly pave the way
|
||
to future successful events.
|
||
|
||
Linux Expo North America is already scheduled to take place in Montreal from
|
||
April 10 to 12, 2001. In the meantime, the event will be held in Sao Paulo June
|
||
20 and 21, 2000 and at Toronto's Metro Convention Center October 30, 31 and
|
||
November 1, 2000.
|
||
|
||
Linux Expo is organized by the Sky Events Group, organizer of the Linux Expo
|
||
shows in Paris and around the world (Madrid, Toronto, Sao Paulo, Shanghai).
