New Connected Traveler Technology Showcase To
Demonstrate Technologies that Touch Travelers Lives

San Francisco Event to Present New Tech Products to Travel,
Technology and Business Media

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.,–March 23, 2011–The Connected Traveler Technology Showcase, a new event that will exhibit the latest travel tech products and services will take place in San Francisco May 23.   This independently produced event features demonstrations by manufacturers, developers, and tech-savvy destinations and travel suppliers.  It is open to international travel reporters as well as San Francisco and Silicon Valley’s technology, feature, business and broadcast media and takes place during the week of Pow Wow, the travel industry’s premier international conference in North America.

“We realized that there are plenty of technology trade shows that cater to the tech media, but none bring the wealth of products and innovative technologies to travel press whose readers and viewers are constantly in search of new mobile devices, apps, cameras, and accessories, said Pat Meier-Johnson, co-producer of The Connected Traveler Technology Showcase. “The travel press includes a large audience of reporters who don’t go to tech trade shows but they are always in search of information that can improve their readers’ travel experience,” she added.
 

Tablets, notebooks, mobile phones, GPS devices, cameras, mobile storage, accessories and chargers for multiple countries, connectivity, and portable health products are becoming an integral part of most road warriors’ lives.  “In addition to the necessities, there are many products that make traveling safer and more enjoyable including devices that let you track your valuables from your mobile phone, portable drives and applications that let you take your office on the road, new protective luggage that makes getting through airport security smoother,  web sites that get you where you’re going,  even augmented reality that gives you vital information about the places you visit,” said Russell Johnson, editor of the award-winning site, www.connectedtraveler.com and co-producer of the event. 

Individual travelers are not the only ones who are using the latest technologies.  Hotels, airlines, cruise lines, museums, restaurants and other hospitality attractions are harnessing new tech products to distinguish themselves from their competitors.  “These innovations mean guests can experience their surroundings in entirely new ways thanks to management’s creative thinking and responsiveness,” said Pat Meier-Johnson.

The Connected Traveler Technology Showcase is a tabletop demo event based on 20+ years of similar successful media events for COMDEX and CES.  More details about exhibiting and attending may be found at www.patmeier.com/connectedtravelershow.html or by calling +1415.389.1700.
