EHX Home Health Tech Pavilion – GREAT SUCCESS!!

Just returned from 5 days in Sunny Orlando (at least they tell us it was sunny) – wouldn’t know, we spent the entire time at the Electronic House Expo at the Orange County Convention Center! And wow – what a great show for the home health technology industry!

Overall, the show attendance was down. We had heard this and wondered what the show would have in store for us! We really couldn’t have been busier, so it really said a LOT about the shift towards home health for the dealers in this industry.

We arrived on Tuesday morning and spent the entire day in the Peabody, revamping GrandCare dealer training for the next day.

Wednesday, we arrived at 8am for GrandCare Authorized dealer training! The room was abuzz as 30 NEW GrandCare dealers loaded in ready to SPEED train as we powered through about 15 hours of material in 7.5….

Great session, the session went great and the dealers were very interactive and seemed to gain a lot of information!!

ON Thursday at 10am, the EHX show floor opened. It appeared to be about less than half of what it was about 2 years ago. A sign of a bad economy, that’s clear. The silver lining is that the people that DO come are the decision makers AND the ones TRULY interested. We had many dealers that came up and said home health tech is the ONLY reason they attended EHX. A truly positive sign for this industry!

GrandCare was pounded ALL day Thursday by interested dealers – we had an extra large booth with 5 GC reps(represented by a few GC staff and Home Controls (Strategic Dist Partner) and Elder-Watch (Master dealer)).

The first panel session moderated by Laurie Orlov was a huge success. It was standing room only as the 4 panelists from GrandCare Systems, Celery, LogicMark and Halo Monitoring explained their products as Laurie Orlov moderated (recap here: http://www.ageinplacetech.com/blog/aarp-and-those-boomers-recareerers-and-home-related-professionals)

Later Thursday afternoon, GrandCare hosted the weekly agetech call LIVE FROM THE EHX FLOOR!!! Using a mic and webcam, GrandCare’s Laura Mitchell (host of the agetech call and VP Chair of the AgeTek Alliance board) hosted the weekly call from the GrandCare booth and interviewed other aging and technology vendors as well as some of the interested dealers.

End of Day One – GREAT SUCCESS & Many Many Leads to show from it. 17 of us from the Aging and technology pavilion went out to celebrate with dinner and drinks at a local watering hole!!

Friday – Day Two…to be continued…

EHX (HOME HEALTH PAVILION) SPRING SHOW – REGISTRATION OPEN

As you may know, GrandCare is sponsoring the Home Health Technology Pavilion at the Electronic House Expo in spring.

We are putting together a pavilion of technology vendors to showcase the latest dealer installed home health technologies. We also are providing a dealer track with sessions relevant to the aging and technology industry. Sessions include basic demographics, statistics and a general introduction to this industry, why you should want to be a part of this 20 billion dollar industry and a “how to” in marketing to this industry (includes making your own business plan in the class)

Registration for this is now open! We also invite technology vendors to contact George Keegan from EH Publishing to join in our home health tech pavilion. This pavilion will receive media attention and will make a big splash in the new opportunities show at EHX.

11.23.2009 — Electronic House Expo (EHX) announced today the official launch of EHX Spring 2010: The New Opportunities Show, being held March 25-27, 2010 in Orlando, Florida.

EHX Spring 2010, produced by CE Pro, is delivering on its goal of a one-of-a-kind event experience which will lead custom electronic professionals toward the new growth opportunities being created in the changing economy.

For 15 years, CE Pro has been the first to deliver the latest and most important business developments, technical guidance, resources, news, and current events in the industry. With more than 200,000 readers a month, CE Pro is the leading source for news and information in the custom electronics industry.

EHX Spring 2010 is produced by the same voices behind CE Pro to bring together the innovation, creativity, skills, and real-life experiences of custom electronics integrators across the country.

EHX and CE Pro have listened to the needs, concerns, and wishes of thousands of custom electronics professionals and understand how hard custom integration companies have been hit over the past two years. In response, EHX Spring 2010 is presenting opportunities in seven growth markets:

* Home Health Tech
* Smart Energy
* Commercial
* Retrofit
* Recurring Revenue
* Digital Media
* Custom Electronics

“Over the years, CE Pro has been at the forefront of the next big thing in custom electronics, and EHX Spring 2010 is no different,” says Jason Knott, CE Pro editor-in-chief. “These new growth opportunities will change the CE industry, and those who attend EHX will stay one step ahead of their competition with the knowledge and experience they gain in Orlando. If you can choose just one event in 2010, EHX Spring is the most important to attend.”…
