Power Up Attends the Maryland Public Safety and Emergency Communication Product Expo

Thu, 25 Apr 2024 01:45:01 +0000

Last month, Power Up had the honor of attending the 2024 Maryland Public Safety and Emergency Communication Product Expo. Hosted by the Baltimore Regional Cooperative Purchasing Committee and the Baltimore Metropolitan Council, this event brings together the region’s biggest names in safety and communication technology.

The tradeshow was a fantastic opportunity for Power Up to showcase our latest innovations to emergency managers, safety officials, and other industry leaders. Emergency department staff from the following states attended:

Maryland
Delaware
DC
Virginia
West Virginia
Pennsylvania

Connecting with the Industry

We had the opportunity to engage with the people at the forefront of emergency management. These conversations have already helped us understand what the industry’s current needs are, and how Power Up can help shape its future.

“It’s always exciting to present innovative solutions that can contribute to sustainability and efficiency in public safety and emergency services,” said Scott Calhoun, Power Up COO.

The focus of this expo aligned perfectly with our mission: connecting the moments that matter. Power Up is committed to developing the best possible solutions because we know emergency communication is essential.

By helping people get in touch with family members, find resources, and contact response teams, communication keeps communities together. Power Up products empower emergency response departments to serve their communities and provide meaningful support during a crisis.

Power Up’s Emergency Communication Solutions

At the expo, we highlighted two of our most popular emergency communication products, the Solar Charging Trailer and the Power Station. These products are designed to be deployed in a wide variety of situations, making them a smart investment for emergency management teams.

The Solar Charging Trailer’s impressive features make it an all-in-one tech solution for outreach after an emergency. Community members can recharge their devices using the trailer’s charging station, which can power 60+ cell phones. RFID/PIN-controlled lockers provide peace of mind that their devices will be secure. Meanwhile, emergency response departments can broadcast updates using the 2 55” outdoor-rated screens and 400-watt audio system. Plus, it’s extremely durable and portable.

Our Power Station batteries provide power on the go wherever you need it. They’re perfect for emergency response teams looking for a portable emergency power solution. It can fuel worksite equipment, communication tech, medical supplies…anything your community needs in an emergency. The battery output is 3kWh of power, charged by AC or a solar panel. It weighs only 50 pounds and can be set up nearly anywhere thanks to the hard-shell rugged case.

We’re proud of the emergency response solutions we already offer, but we know it’s just the beginning. Power Up continues to be at the forefront of portable power solutions. We even had the chance to discuss future product offerings at the expo, such as our GreenGrid 90k Trailer. Stay tuned for more on this… coming soon!

Thank You!

Power Up would like to extend our gratitude to the tradeshow organizers, attendees, and everyone who helped make this exciting event possible. We had a wonderful time at this event and look forward to attending again in the future.

Energize Your Tradeshow Presence with Cell Phone Charging

Mon, 20 Feb 2023 17:15:11 +0000

After a few slow years, tradeshows are back in action. According to UFI Global Exhibition Barometer research, tradeshows are expected to reach 87% of pre-pandemic levels in 2023.

For many businesses and professionals, in-person tradeshows are essential. From networking to making sales, tradeshows are the site of meaningful work. In one study, respondents agreed that “in-person events are more valuable now than in 2020.” If you’re planning to attend a tradeshow in 2023, it’s important to make the most of the experience.

The Benefits of Charging for Tradeshows

The reality is, setting up a tradeshow booth or sponsoring an event can only get you so far. When there are dozens of other companies present, you need to stand out.

To maximize impact, we recommend creating a customized experience for guests. The goal is for visitors to remember your brand and leave your booth with a positive impression – and it takes more than a free pen or tote bag to make that happen.

Instead, consider a branded cell phone charging station. During long tradeshow days, guests will appreciate the chance to recharge their devices. That way, they’ll never miss out on a networking opportunity due to a dead phone battery. Plus, charging stations are a great way to draw traffic to your booth and get more eyes on your messaging.

Power Up’s Charging Tables

Power Up’s Charging Tables are the ideal addition to your tradeshow booth. Each table has the capacity for over 24 phones, tablets, and devices. It’s an efficient and convenient way to charge devices and attract guests. We even offer wireless charging options, making for an ideal touch-free way to charge.

With Charging Tables, your booth will become the center of the action. Or, sponsor a happy hour event at the tradeshow so attendees can congregate and enjoy a drink while their devices charge. With custom branding, guests will know it was your brand that provided this amenity, creating a positive perception that lasts. Power Up’s custom branding options allow you to add a beautifully printed logo or brand name to your charging equipment.

Did you know that Power Up devices are also available for rent? If you need charging units for a short-term event, you can make a reservation for rental Charging Tables and only pay for what you need. The rental process is simple with Power Up: just let us know what dates you need the equipment for and we’ll help plan the logistics. We even offer custom branding for rental units!

Tradeshows Are Back: Power Up Your Event

Tue, 26 Jul 2022 23:34:52 +0000

Are you hosting a tradeshow this year? After 2 years of mainly virtual events, many tradeshows are opting to return to in-person and hybrid events. Now more than ever, it’s important to give attendees a positive experience at in-person tradeshows. Device charging is a popular amenity that will help guests feel comfortable and stay connected.

Tradeshow attendees need access to their devices to exchange contact information with new connections, post about your event on social media, and much more. Charging units from Power Up make sure attendees can always access their phones, tablets, and laptops throughout the show.

Power Up Your Tradeshow

Our Charging Table is the perfect centerpiece for networking. Available in high-top, standard, and coffee table heights, you can create a comfortable charging station for attendees to relax and recharge. Each table can charge over 20 devices simultaneously, so there’s plenty of room for groups to keep the conversation going while they charge their devices.

For longer-term charging, select a Charging Locker. These lockers allow attendees to securely charge and store their devices. We offer multiple configurations, including touch screen panels, wireless charging, RFID, and more. You can also add on UVC charging, giving guests the chance to sanitize their devices — a great amenity for large gatherings during COVID.

Opt for the Convenience of Rental Equipment

Renting from Power Up is a straightforward, stress-free way to get charging equipment for short-term events. Here’s how it works:

Leave a Powerful Impression at Tradeshows and Conferences

Fri, 17 Sep 2021 19:23:38 +0000

Tradeshows and conferences are a great place to mingle with potential collaborators, clients, and consumers. However, to make the most of the event, it’s key to make a good impression on attendees. Setting up a charging table at your booth or having multiple tables throughout the event space is a great way to impress eventgoers and boost brand awareness.

Tradeshows Are Returning Post-Pandemic

As more of the population gets vaccinated and the world is starting up again, in-person tradeshows and conferences are returning! As of 2019, the tradeshow industry was valued at $15.58 billion. There was a decline in 2020 as events became virtual during the pandemic, but experts expect it to bounce back.

Standout with Charging Tables

For marketers and event planners, tradeshows and conferences are an amazing opportunity to showcase your brand. But, with so many companies in attendance at every conference, it’s important to create a memorable experience at your booth for attendees. But, how can you stand out and make a lasting impression?

One way to make a lasting impression is through a branded charging table. Conferences can be long and draining. Everyone could use a phone charge and a quick break during the day! Attendees will be grateful to stop by your table for a refresh. While there, they can gain exposure to your brand and enjoy complimentary phone charging––it’s a win-win for all.

Power Up’s Charging Tables

Power Up’s Charging Tables are the perfect addition to your tradeshow booth. Attendees can gather around to chat, charge, and set their drinks down, creating a welcoming setting for everyone will enjoy. The charging tables can power up to 20 devices with 9 cables, 6 USB ports, up to 3 wireless locations, and 3 outlets.

In addition, with Power Up’s analytics package, you’ll gain access to user analytics including interest, age, gender, heritage, and income. These valuable demographic insights will help you know who plugged in at the event and who may be interested in your brand.

With the ability to add customized branding to the unit, users will see your company’s logo, reinforcing brand recognition and attaching your name to the positive experience of being able to charge their phone.

Let’s Work Together

A brand’s presence is everything. Power-up your booth and give your brand a boost with a Charging Table! To rent or purchase a charging unit for your next tradeshow or conference, contact us today. We’re here to help find a great solution for your brand.
