Planet PDA In Boston Announces Industry Record Setting Exhibit Sales

Technology Marketing Corporation (TMC) announced that, based on an amazing 56% growth in sales from 2001 to 2002, Planet PDA is one of the fastest growing technology shows in the world. Having launched in December 2001, Planet PDA quickly wowed its exhibitors and attendees by becoming the defacto meeting place for serious handheld computing purchasers the world over.

The success of the inaugural event prompted TMC to announce the launch another Planet PDA last January. In only four months time, the exhibit hall grew 56% over the first show's exhibits.

"Having witnessed the state of technology shows this past year, it is hard to believe that any of them are actually growing," Says TMC President, Rich Tehrani. "The 50 exhibitors at Planet PDA make this event the largest handheld computing event in the world as well as the only handheld computing event that is platform agnostic. I would really like to thank Compaq, Avaya, Microsoft, Intel, HP, Symbol Technologies, Interactive Intelligence and Handheld Computing Group only a few of the companies that I feel have made this event so successful."

TMC is also proud to be collocating with Planet PDA, a Wearable PC Summit www.wearablepcsummit.com focusing on the wearable computing market and Tablet PC Summit www.tmcnet.com/tabletpc focusing on tablet computing. These events take place this Monday, May 13 and will be followed by Planet PDA, which takes place May 14-16.

TMC Vice President, Marc Robins says, "These summits are just a small example of how TMC is the leader in educating its audience on truly useful technologies." Robins continues, "I have been attending technology trade shows for over twenty years and am ecstatic to be involved with a show that has such appeal that the show hotel started selling out almost two months before the event took place! This is unheard of for a show taking place in a new venue in this economic environment."
