    Past Event - Summary

    Thursday June 24, 2010
    Craft Talk Speaker: Stephen Simcox of Power Displays & Exhibits Inc.

    Power Displays & Exhibits provides Trade Show Displays in Ottawa, Ontario. They offer complete graphic printing services for trade show displays or large format printing and can also ship their products across Canada or put clients in touch with one of their Dealers. Power Displays & Exhibits' focus is on Quality and Service. Whether you are the end user or reselling their products they prefer to team with you as a partner. Your success is their main priority.

    Stephen Simcox is the President and owner of Power Displays & Exhibits and has been working in the trade show display and graphic printing industry since 1980. Stephen was born and raised in Ottawa and has experienced the transition of the industry first hand. He insists everyone at Power Displays meets your needs on time and on budget.

    Power Displays & Exhibits is a respected trade show and display company in Ottawa who are active in the business community with memberships in the Ottawa Chamber of Commerce, Toastmasters Ottawa as well as Ottawa Executives Association.

    At last week's meeting Stephen talked about the many different types of displays, banners and accessories that Power Displays has to offer which included Pop Up, Roll Up, Custom Displays, Banner Stands, Literature racks, rentals and more. He had several different sample displays and banners onsite for people to view as well as samples of the printing materials used and what they would look like once printed. One of the newer products available that Stephen showcased was the ECO banner which is fully biodegradable and printed with eco inks that are UV stable and weatherproof. These banners can be used indoors or outdoors for years at a time while giving the user peace of mind knowing they are vegetable based, and safe to decompose without leaving harmful chemicals in our environment.

    Stephen also touched on the fact that Power Displays has decided NOT to bring design in-house at their Ottawa office, but instead, form strategic alliances with many design firms. They believe that the best results come from qualified companies that focus on design so they act as a coordinator between the client and the design firm or they set the client up directly with the design firm. If clients have their own in-house design group or are already set up with a design firm, Power Displays & Exhibits will work closely with them in order to ensure they receive a specification sheet detailing how files must be saved, file size specifications and graphic sizes.

    To learn more about Power Displays & Exhibits and how they can "...put the POWER of Exhibiting in your hands" contact Stephen Simcox at (613) 422-9109.
