We will exhibit our latest innovations at booth 711 and present speaking session on solutions for keeping devices powered during a disasterWe recently announced that our co-founder, Ryan Doak, will present a seminar on innovations for keeping personal devices powered up during a disaster at the 2017 IAEM Conference and Emergency Management & Homeland Security Expo, scheduled for November 10-15 in Long Beach, California. Doak's session will focus on innovative technology to keep personal cellphones, laptops, tablets and more powered up during an emergency or natural disaster. "The POWER UP team is excited to take part in the IAEM Conference and EMEX 2017 where attendees have such a wealth of knowledge and experience in the emergency management industry. I am pleased to have the opportunity to discuss POWER UP's insights on providing personal device charging technology when a natural disaster strikes, and to share our experience in emergency response efforts to keep those affected connected to those whom matter most," said Doak. In addition, at booth 711, we will showcase its cutting-edge, premium charging tables and products designed to help those in need connect with those who matter most during emergencies and natural disasters. POWER UP's exhibit will demonstrate how implementing its innovative charging technology can enhance emergency readiness, aid in disaster relief and keep victims and responders connected during critical moments of need. Doak's speaking session is slated for 12:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 14. Hosted by the International Association of Emergency Managers, the annual conference will attract more than 2,000 emergency management professionals from both government and private sectors. Attendees spanning from first responders and healthcare professionals to homeland security officials, disaster planners and more, will participate in the five day training and educational event focused on emergency preparedness and management. In conjunction with the IAEM conference, the Emergency Management & Homeland Security Expo (EMEX) will allow exhibitors to demonstrate technological products and services for disaster preparedness and relief. Through seminars by leading industry speakers, training and networking sessions and the EMEX showcase, IAEM attendees will share best practices, skillsets and solutions to make positive advancements in the disaster management industry. POWER UP's charging technology has been used to aid disaster relief in New York City following hurricane Sandy in 2012, during Houston, Texas's 2015 flood and after hurricane Irma left millions without power in Florida earlier this year. Looking to further assist in the relief of natural disasters by expanding its array of charging capabilities, POWER UP is also incorporating a fleet of solar-powered charging trailers that house 150 charging ports.

Charging Tables will help guests stay powered up at the Barcoding, Inc. 7th Annual Executive Forum If you’ve ever attended a tradeshow, then you know it can be a fun, but long day. Between taking photos, scanning new contact information, and keeping in touch with everyone back at the office, a long day at a tradeshow can have both you and your mobile device running on empty. However, not all tradeshow vendors are created equally. While some may choose to give away pens or bags, our friends at Oracle + Netsuite wisely chose to give away the gift of power.

THE Supply Chain Event of the Year

On Thursday, Oct. 12, 2017, our parent company, Barcoding, Inc., will be hosting its 7th Annual Executive Forum at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, MD. We’re proud to say that our charging table technology will be in attendance, thanks to a sponsorship from Oracle + Netsuite. The four Charging Tables, which will be adorned with Oracle + Netsuite branding, will be conveniently located in Center Hall and offer the perfect opportunity to charge devices while connecting business professionals.

Charging Table Features

Each charging table can charge up to 18 phones, tablets or other devices with 9 cables and 6 USB ports. While devices are charging, the charging cables will be illuminated with a red LED light, which will change to green once fully charged, so there’s no need to let checking battery status get in the way of networking. We hope everyone at the Executive Forum will take advantage of our charging table technology and stay connected in the moments that matter.

Staying Connected

After the tradeshow, attendees will have plenty of battery left to get a ride over to the Horseshoe Casino and refuel themselves with light bites while continuing to connect with other business professionals. If you're attending the event, be sure to get a photo of the Oracle + Netsuite tables and tag us on social media, @PowerUpConnect. Interested in having charging tables at your next event?

POWER UP™ Charging Tables enable event attendees, exhibitors and administrators to stay connected in moments that matterBackground Established in 1990 in Cincinnati, Ohio, the Association of Luxury Suite Directors (ALSD) is a leading authority in the $20 billion premium seating industry and represents over 1,000 major league and minor league teams, venues, facility development firms and food and beverage providers. ALSD provides a single platform with accurate and timely information from across the premium seating industry throughout North America with a growing global reach and is committed to organizing, supporting and developing a network for its members to share information, ideas and values with one another. Since the association’s inception, ALSD brings its member groups together at its annual Conference and Tradeshow for networking, education and entertainment opportunities. The association’s 2017 conference took place in Miami Beach, Florida and had approximately 12,000 participants. In addition, the conference runs concurrently with the ALSD Sports Sales Boot Camp and the Sports Venue Design & Build Forum, which brings together architects, designers and specifiers within the venue space for renovations and new builds. Challenges The ALSD is continuously looking to add diverse, innovative elements and relevant, top-notch companies who will participate in its conference and trade show in order to attract attendees who represent the specific venues that are looking for customer engagement products to go into their premium spaces and venues. Further, the organization sought a technology provider that would help keep attendees and vendors connected to those who matter most throughout the conference. Solution POWER UP™ (a Barcoding, Inc. Company), the industry's premium charging technology company, was a sponsor at the 2017 ALSD Conference and trade show. In addition, POWER UP displayed a booth in the exhibit hall showcasing its Charging Table, which delivers the power and branding needed to create a first-class experience for customers. POWER UP Charging Tables are convenient and flexible for keeping attendees connected and can power up to 18 phones, tablets or other devices with nine cables, three standard outlets and six USB ports. Due to the type and quality of POWER UP’s product, the ALSD Conference was able to integrate the Charging Tables throughout the show. Pat McCaffrey, Vice President, Business Development, ALSD, said, “The specific need POWER UP fulfills with its charging stations is extremely relevant to the premium seating industry and within the venue space. We were able to integrate 10 tables within the exhibit hall, session areas and the MLB All-Star game watch party outside of the conference location.” Results Throughout the conference and trade show, the Charging Tables were consistently used by attendees, vendors and ALSD administrators. McCaffrey adds, “I used them myself throughout the conference. With the amount of running around I needed to do to make sure things went smoothly, it was important to keep my phone charged and onboard throughout the lengthy day, POWER UP’s charging stations ensured it was.” Based on the success of the Charging Tables with its guests, ALSD has invited POWER UP to participate in its 2018 conference, which is taking place in Atlanta, Georgia. ALSD is interested in attracting companies in the tailgating industry to the event, as well as its membership, and plans to include the POWER UP Charging Trailer – a full-sized, custom branded, mobile device charging trailer, which can charge 60 devices to handle the demands of a large crowd or a tough environment with ease. The trailer is also equipped with two 55″ premium, outdoor-rated screens and an HD media player, perfect for elevating event-goers’ experiences. McCaffrey concludes, “The POWER UP team was absolutely terrific and extremely pleasant to work with before, during and after the event. Their Charging Table presentation fit into the premium mold that we work to present at this event. We would absolutely love to have POWER UP back with us next year.”
