Convention Center Directory

2008-05-07T12:14:00.000-07:00

Ever notice how difficult it is to find any useful collection of information on the countries trade show or convention facilities? Don’t get me wrong there are plenty of great sites for individual venues, or cities, etc, but what if you need to do research or planning that goes beyond just that one venue? In the past you might have to spend hours with a search engine, save literally dozens of bookmarks, and most likely take a lot of notes by hand. Being in that boat ourselves we decided to start a directory of the countries most popular convention centers and trade show facilities.

Since we are in the business of providing short term technology solutions we have called this directory a “Trade Show Rental Directory”. Though there are links designed to help the convention going business community easily source any of their event rental needs, the vast majority of information in our directory is purely informational and designed to make that wide ranging convention center research more convenient.

At present there are 16 of what we would consider the most popular trade show and convention facilities on our list and we look to expand that to 25 within the next few weeks. If you are wondering exactly what you might find on our convention center directory we are presently using a structure that lists and links to our own hand written summary page of the largest convention centers. That’s followed by a list of links to the nation’s largest convention and visitors bureaus. Next we have the schedule of events listed up with a closing list of convention news by state.

If you find yourself on this new page in search of rental equipment for your next big trade show, or if you just want to take advantage of the consolidated convention information it offers, we hope you find our directory helpful. If you have any suggestions on features or convention facilities that you would like to see added to our convention directory please leave us a comment and we will try to make that happen.

2008-03-24T13:48:00.000-07:00

Computer Rental for Tax Season

DVD Projector Rental

2008-01-25T13:01:00.000-08:00

Always striving to stay ahead of the pack when it comes to offering the widest range of computer rental and audio visual rental products available on the web, Rentacomputer.com has expanded their repertoire to providing DVD Projector Rentals with local delivery throughout their entire service area in the United States and beyond!

DVD Projectors are perfect for single-purpose uses such as wedding receptions, conferences, and trade shows. Just plug in your DVD Projector, pop in a DVD, and forget it. This combination unit replaces the need for a Laptop Rental with a regular Projector Rental in this capacity, but doesn't provide all the features of having both.

A laptop and a projector together allow you more function, at the cost of transporting and setting up more equipment. For instance, with use of a laptop, you can run a Powerpoint presentation through your projector, which wouldn't be possible with only a DVD Projector combination unit. The drawback to having projector which needs to be controlled by a laptop is difficulty of use. An advanced user who is familiar with the wiring required to configure a projector to work with a laptop might find having both of them available to be the ideal situation, but a DVD Projector is perfect for the casual user who wants to plug it in and know it's going to work on the spot, without any unforeseen complications.

Computer Rentals - Denver Colorado

2008-01-23T10:13:00.000-08:00

Computer rentals in the Mile-High City have been a part of our daily routine since 1988. Our Tech-Travel Agents rank Denver Computer Rentals in the top 20 most requested destinations for their computer rental clients.

Though it has been several years ago now I do believe Denver was the destination for the single largest order I was ever personally evolved with. That order was for the rental of three fully populated racks of IBM blade servers.

Not every client however has the type of project that requires that much processing power. So of course the more common Denver computer rental scenario might be desktop systems for a training class, or a LCD projector for a presentation, or even a laptop for a traveling executive who might be in town for a meeting.

Our Denver computer rental inventory and our services are among the most diverse of any computer rental firm in the country. So no matter what your Denver technology rental need be sure to call your Tech Travel Agent today at 800-736-8772 and find out how they can make your job easier.
