2010 OAUG Exhibitor Awards

Noetix, 2009 Best of Show

We are continuing our tradition for the “OAUG Best of Show” award for COLLABORATE 10 exhibit booths. As you know, each year we strive to bring the best products and services to our conference attendees; in addition, we strive to have the most creative, innovative and unique booth layouts.

Whether your booth is a kiosk or a very large 30′×30′ space, you’ll now have the opportunity to stand out in several categories rather than just one.

Since our inception of the OAUG Best of Show, here are our winners:

• 2006: RWD Technologies
• 2007: Core Services
• 2008: HP
• 2009: Noetix

Best of Show Award Categories

• Best Traffic Stopper

  (two awards, based on booth size)

  Does your booth tend to create traffic jams on the show floor? If so, this award could be going home with you. Keeping attendees in the exhibit hall is always a challenge; for this we will award the exhibitor that goes above and beyond to keep the attendees attention and in their booth.

• Best Visionary

  (two awards, based on booth size)

  This award goes to the exhibitor with the most creative and unique booth design. The exhibitor with the best technical implementation, layout and flow will definitely take home this prize.

• Best Exhibitor Marketing

  (two awards, based on booth size)

  Showcasing your brand pre-show, onsite and post-show is hard work and the OAUG wants to award those exhibitors who have a message that is true to their brand and have built key messaging around their theme (must submit supporting documentation).

• Users Choice

  This award goes to the exhibitor that conference attendees recognize as the best in all categories. All OAUG attendees will have the opportunity to cast their vote during COLLABORATE 10.

• Best of Show Award

  “And the best overall award goes to…” This award goes to the best overall exhibitor that embodies all of the collective criteria, while continuing to be a leader in the industry.

How does the judging work?

A select panel of OAUG members will judge your booth during the exhibit hall show hours. The winners will be announced in the Wednesday morning e-mail announcement as well as in a post-conference press release.

What’s in it for my company?

Besides bragging rights, winners will also receive free advertising for your company (press release, mention in OAUG eNews, mention in OAUG Insight, etc.). Your company will also receive an award to showcase in your office.
