DisplayWorks-designed booth awarded “Best in Show” at CES 2013

January 29, 2013 by · Leave a Comment 
Published on DisplayWorks' Blog  1/21/13:

The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) always features the newest and hottest tech gadgets around. LifeProof – a DisplayWorks client and up-and-coming industry leader of mobile device covers – did just that.

However, they managed to feature their hottest iPad and iPhone protective cases in such a creative way that made iLounge.com—a local online authority for all things Apple—stop in their tracks, and award the booth “Best of Show” at CES 2013.

The DisplayWorks-designed 40’ x 40’ custom island rental made great use of its space on the show floor as well as provided CES attendees with a chance to see LifeProof products in action. The exhibit used multiple vignettes to showcase completely submerged iPads and iPhones in water or {Click Here to Read More}

DisplayWorks “Nails” It!

January 18, 2013 by · Leave a Comment

 

Published on DisplayWorks' Blog  1/16/13: 

 

A jar full of nails and a unique spin on a guessing game was enough to spark the interest of Exhibitor Magazine, who mentioned DisplayWorks’ in-booth activity for HCEA in the “Ideas that Work” section of their December 2012 issue.

As part of our philanthropic efforts, we built a playhouse to be donated to the Children’s Center at the University of New Orleans. In order to enhance the spirit of giving as well as draw in more traffic to our booth at the 2010 Healthcare Convention & Exhibitors Association Annual Meeting, we invited the attendees of the show to actively participate in this charitable cause.

We sent out a pre-show mailer indicating that there would be a jar filled with an unidentified amount of nails on display at the DisplayWorks booth and urged show attendees to come and make a guess as to the amount.  The playhouse would then be donated to the Children’s Center in the name of the person whose guess was closest to the actual number of nails.

A game-winning guess came in at 434; there were 439 nails in the jar!  The name behind this lucky guess was featured on a commemorative plaque that was attached to the playhouse before it made the journey to New Orleans.

Columbia, MD – December 14, 2012 – JPB Partners announced construction has begun on three new 25-unit apartment buildings at Victoria Falls near Laurel in Prince George’s County, Maryland.  Formal groundbreaking ceremonies were held on Tuesday, December 4, 2012 involving the development companies, builder, elected officials and members of the Victoria Falls community.

According to JP Bolduc, CEO of JPB Partners; “We are delighted to be the lead developer on this project.  This impressive community in Prince George’s County will be even better with the addition of a rental component to the housing opportunities available to its residents”.  Jeff Kirby, a co-founder with KB Company added; “We have been developing residential communities for more than a decade.  Along with JPB Partners, we have the right team at the right time to contribute to the quality of life of the wonderful people who will live here”.
