Audioholics SOTU Trade Show Event - What's it all about?

by Gene DellaSala last modified August 26, 2008
SOTU

SOTU

It's more than just tons of FREE A/V gear to give away and two days of great eating.  The Audioholics State of the Union (SOTU) event (held Oct 23rd and 24th) is about bringing together consumers, industry professionals, and manufacturers into a common venue to discuss home theater equipment, showcase and demo the latest gear, and yes win lots of FREE prizes, eat great food, and have a ton of fun doing all of it.  Oh, and don't forget to enjoy the Disney theme parks right across the lake from our resort.

Demo Room Breakdown

  • Demo Room #1 Audyssey Labs
  • Demo Room#2 Yamaha EMPtek Loudspeakers
  • Demo Room #3 Marantz / Snell
  • Demo Room #4 Emotiva
  • Demo Room #5 Dolby / Pioneer
  • Demo Room #6 Epson

The show floor will have a variety of companies offering static displays and demos as well as giving away party swag and product samples.

At the same time, there will be a dedicated Educational room where industry experts will be giving presentational seminars on a variety of A/V related topics.

What do Consumers Get?

As a consumer, it’s your chance to meet the manufacturers face to face and get the scoop on new products or ask them tech stuff about the products you own. You rarely get an opportunity like this to meet face to face in such a personalized manner without having to plow through crowds of consumers, dealers and press in the process like so often is the case at larger trade shows such as CES.

In addition, you get a chance to win a $3600+ 5.1 home theater system! With tons of FREE party swag and door prizes, NOT a single attendee will walk away from this show empty handed.

What do Dealers Get?

As a dealer you get hands on experience with the latest gear you will soon be carrying in your storefront. You also get 2 days of FREE educational seminars (all attendees are welcome to this) from leading industry experts from such organizations as THX, DVI Gear, Sencore, and many others.

What do Manufacturers get?

As a manufacturer you get to hear your customer’s feedback on your equipment and also see their reaction as they check out your new gear for the very first time. You get to peek in on your competition to see what they’ve got up their sleeve. Most importantly you get tons of press on the industries largest review A/V magazine including editorial coverage, Podcasting on AV Rant and video interviews and showcase coverage.

An Event for Everyone

You will enjoy 6 state of the art demo rooms filled with some of the very best and latest gear the industry has to offer. Two days of breakfast and dinner at our semi formal ballroom costume party and home theater giveaway extravaganza. Again NOBODY attending our event will walk away empty handed. So what are you waiting for?

Clint ensures I never wind up back in the cube again


But now you have to worry about the padded rooms or the rooms with bars

LOL it was my wife that actually convinced me to quite my day job at the cube farm to pursue this as a full time career so yes in many ways this is true.

What is it that Gene, and Clint do again...?

Well, I've found the backbone of the Audioholic's operation.
I've had a few questions regarding the 10th Annual SOTU-2008.
On two different occasions I've emailed Bertha, and /or Bertica.
Both times I received a reply back in a few minutes, that was helpful and accurate, and solved the problem.
I wish customer service was like this everywhere.

Also, I'm not fishing for a 'thanks' for this post, so please don't give me any.
Sincerely,
Rick
