FRAMINGHAM, Mass. – Electronic House Expo (EHX) Fall 2008, taking place November 4-7 at the Long Beach Convention Center in Long Beach, California, announced a strong market response to its "AMPED UP" program with year-to-date registrations ahead of 2007 levels. In its ninth year, EHX Fall consistently draws 7,000 attendees and the early registrations have organizers confident they will meet or exceed attendance for 2008.

"We are very positive about the response to our new program elements and the AMPED UP expo floor experience," says Jim Wagner, General Manager, EH Events. "The dealer community views this event as a valuable resource for new technology, new products and training, while exhibitors like our 'buying show' and lead-generation programs. With rising fuel costs and other economic factors EHX Fall continues to delivery value to the West Coast market."

EHX surveyed the market and results confirm what many believe are the real sentiments of the CE industry. Survey results indicate that 49% of integrators would not or are unlikely to attend a tradeshow requiring air travel. In contrast, 90% of those surveyed would or would likely attend a tradeshow within driving distance

"Will I get a good ROI from attending? Will it help my business grow? That's what every company, regardless of size, needs to answer when deciding to attend a tradeshow and we like what we see so far," says Wagner.

The EHX Fall expo focuses on the Buying Show experience and includes:

• Attendee and exhibitor interest matching software to qualify and communicate with attendees
• Attendees prepared to placed orders on highly promoted “Show Specials”
• Multiple lead generation opportunities infused into the expo floor through New Destination Stations on Gaming, Green Technology, Outdoor Living and the New Product Showcase
• The “Showroom” spotlighting first-time exhibitors
• Daily give-a-ways at the end of the day
• On-the-floor education to satisfy the attendees need to learn

PLUS, all the features you have come to expect at EHX such as the EHX MiXer, and other valuable networking events.
