Everyone,
Vis Comdex and releasing a press release:
Suppose one were a small company with a product to introduce at Comdex (like Valence?). What would be your estimates of the optimal time within the general uproar of Comdex to make a press release announcing what you had, where it was in town, and so on?
My own sense of when would be perhaps Tuesday late or Wednesday early -- well enough after the opening so that the elephants like MSFT, HWP, SUNW and INTC are thoroughly reported, and the reporters are free to look elsewhere. Especially if I had a good, sexy product, I'd try to catch the news media just when it was ready for something else at this show -- some other great new product they can report. It seems to me that would be later Tuesday.
Of course this is just musing about the problems of being a small vendor at Comdex. How do you get out the word in this sea of people spread all over the city? Whether Valence is in this situation right now, only time can tell (but not much time!). Who knows. But regardless, the general problem is one of those things that makes Comdex interesting.
Any thoughts, anyone, on how these things are done at Comdex? How they could be done or ought to be done?
