The Results are in! Customer Satisfaction Surveys
We are currently analyzing the responses from the Attendee Satisfaction Survey from SEMICON West 2007.   In the November Exhibitor Update we will have a link to a detailed report with attendee demographics, top reasons for attending the show and their overall satisfaction with exhibitors. 

We would also like to take this opportunity to thank those exhibitors that participated in the Exhibitor Satisfaction Survey for SEMICON West 2007.  We appreciate your responses and are in the process of reading through your comments and suggestions for 2008!

Lengthen Your Sales Cycle with SmartBooth™ and SEMICONNECT
Based on information reported on ExhibitorOnline, 86 percent of a typical exhibition audience has not been contacted by a salesperson in the previous 12 months. Tradeshows offer a venue to reach prospects not currently being reached in the field and provide an opportunity to meet face-to-face with future customers.  Through the SmartBooth and SEMICONNECT portals, SEMI has extended that show cycle, giving exhibitors an additional opportunity to connect with registered attendees even months after the event. 

Log in to your SmartBooth portal to review and update your company profile information as well as gain access to all registered attendees at SEMICON West.  Forgotten your log in information? Contact Leslie Schade at lschade@semi.org or Tel: 1.408.943.6978.

Exhibitor University Education for 2008
SEMI is preparing to launch the Exhibitor University Education Program for SEMICON West 2008.  This complimentary ‘value–added’ service is intended to assist exhibitors in making the most out of SEMICON West and to introduce ways to maximize your trade show investments.  In the next month we will be sending out a survey to all exhibitors to help SEMI understand the exhibit challenges facing you today.  We ask that you keep in mind any subjects you would like to learn more about and when the survey is emailed out that you take a moment to complete it

Second Payment for Booth Space Due
As a reminder, the second booth space payment is due October 11, 2007.  Invoices were mailed in September indicating that 50% of the total booth fee is due to all exhibitors.  If you have not yet received your invoice please contact Mary Durkton at mdurkton@semi.org or Tel: 1.408.943.6927 to request a copy.   Checks or wire transfers are accepted as a form of payment; please see the details included on the invoice.
