Middle East Event Awards 2009

Satellite Visual Communications wins ‘Innovative New Product for the Events Industry’ Category for Spotme at the Middle East Event Awards.

On behalf of Spotme, John Quinn, Owner of Satellite Visual Communication, accepted the award for best Innovative New Product at the Middle East Event Awards, on Monday 27 April 2009, during the event 360 exhibition.

“We are delighted that our product has been recognised in this category especially against such worthy competition such as the latest LED lighting technology and even a VW van which converts into a bar !” commented Quinn.

“In this fast paced and changing world we need to embrace tools such as this which enable us to provide environments for communication and learning that appeal to all walks of life. We can no longer rest on our laurels and be content to continue to do things the way we always have, and why should we or would we want to when we have such valuable tools available to assist us” commented John Quinn Owner of Satellite Visual Communication.

For those that have never experienced Spotme –and it is an experience – Spotme is a tool that accelerates networking and reinvents communication at the conference. It is part messaging tool, part people finder, part program-at-a-glance, part navigation system, part voting keypad – and a whole lot of fun!

In addition, the new Spotme is eco-friendly; the binder, maps, electronic feedback forms, and searchable photo database provide real-time information at your fingertips, while reducing the need to make costly printouts that are usually thrown out after the event.
