Nashville Tech Story (12/11/09)

One of our most innovative products company in town is heading to the Consumer Electronics Show.  (http://www.cesweb.org/)  Of course, this project has Tennessee written all over it.  They have renovated a VW Bus and they painted it orange and white. Griffin employees are packing the Bus with plenty of tech tools and driving to Vegas.  They have a few stops planned along the way.  You can follow the Griffin tour to Vegas at the following link.  http://cesbound.com/

If you are attending the CES Show this year, drop us a line.

We caught up with Dave Delaney recent about the CES Show.  Dave is a local entrepreneur, social media guru, host of Geek Breakfast, and Griffin employee.

Q. When do you leave Nashville for the CES Show?

A. We depart Nashville very early December 30th.

Q. Did Griffin win any awards or are you a finalist?

A. No awards. Not yet anyway.

Q. Is this Griffin’s first time at CES?

A. We’ve been attending CES for years now but this year will be our second as an exhibitor on the huge show-floor. We’ve been working really hard on the booth design and we’re anxious to show it off next month!

Q. What do you love about CES?

A. Every January thousands of people head to Las Vegas for CES because it’s the largest consumer electronics show in the US. Attendees are eager to see the newest innovations and try out all the new gadgets that companies unveil at the show. Hall after hall of cool companies with new bits of tech entice us there every year too!

Q. Is Griffin planning any New product launches during CES?

A. Of course! We always try to save up a few special products to announce at CES, but shhhh… they’re still top secret! We’ll announce them the first day of the show, so tune in and find out!

Q. Check out the Griffin Bus!
