"In 20 years of exhibition experience in Europe I never had such a positive, efficient PR promotion activity," said Jutta Peinze, marketing director, Europe, for Sengled, the smart lighting company. "Three hours, 150-200 interviews, enormous output. It's exactly what is needed, if you are a newcomer or simply willing to show the newest and hottest. Nobody is showing off with huge, big-budget booths. Here it's your table, your innovation, pitch it. Extremely cool. Exactly the right thing we needed for Sengled." "If you're operating in the mobile space and you need to raise awareness through international press, ShowStoppers @ MWC is the place to be," said Chaim Haas, head of communications for Glide.
