CeBIT Days 5 & 6
Saturday and Sunday at CeBIT were not as busy as the week days but by the end of Sunday I think everyone was ready to go home or travel to their next destination.  Here are all of the New Zealamd stand exhibitors plus the staff from New Zealand Trade & Enterprise in New Zealand and
the Hamburg office. The three girls in white in the middle were the stand hostesses who did a great job for the exhibitors.
Starsoft had a great show, over 450 business cards collected, huge interest in Ezidoesit from people from all over the world.

CeBIT Day 1
Tuesday, first day of CeBIT and we are ready to rock and roll. We were almost late for the start, arriving at the hall about 1 minute to 9 due to a tram/taxi strike earlier in the morning. This meant there were no taxi's so we had to take the tram into town change and then catch it to the north end of the showgrounds and walk to the south end.  It was a slow start but about 10am things started to get busy and by the end of the day we had demonstrated Ezidoesit to over 90 people.

CeBIT Setup
Starsoft are exhibiting at CeBIT 2008 in Hannover, Germany. We are on the New Zealand Trade and Enterprise in Hall 14. At 5pm we went to the CeBIT trade showgrounds and started to setup our part of the New Zealand stand.  There is a real sense of excitement amongst the New Zealand exhibitors; everyone has come a long way and historically New Zealand companies have done very well at CeBIT.
The CeBIT showgrounds are huge, bigger than Texas. 27 halls and 1 million square metres of display space.
Everything seemed to work so we are ready to go tomorrow morning which is the first day of the show.
We have all of our marketing collateral - brochures, attendance cards, rugby balls, hats and prize give aways so it should be fun (and long days and hard work).
