"Local Innovation, Global Solutions" Singapore Showcase of Fresh Tech
At Communicasia 2014, our Singapore pavilion featured 9 Singapore's solutions from wearables, portable audio to wireless media solutions. We received positive responses from the Ministerial Yacoob and VIP guests visits
to our Pavilion.
Despite the brief 10 min visit, we successfully presented and highlighted 7 new solutions, including Creative Technology's Soundblaster ROAR, Oaxis's Inkcase (e-Ink case), XMI (X-mini WE that won ARC's Travel Retail "Best Inflight Product"), and Trek2000 wireless SD card, Flucard photo sharing powered by Cloudstringers.
Seeing is believing, hearing is believing
Check out their happy and excited expressions :)
A BIG SUCCESS welcoming experience. Minister gave his THUMBS-UP for Creative Technology's latest Soundblaster ROAR! I must applaud Creative that they are all prepared with manpower, well-stocked with latest products and music. It's a crowd-stealer and star! Really happy that they have seized the opportunity at Communicasia and benefited from the showcase.
Swansong and all worth it! A breakthrough!
Team-mate, Gaius and I had rounds of practices and I practiced through the night, rehearsing all the way.
After hours and days of practice, I prayed, rested and use anointing oil, confessing God's favor and winning hearts and minds of the VIPs. I prayed, "Let your speech be filled with grace, seasoned with salt, so that you know how to answer each other." (Colossians 4:6). Indeed Minister asked simple questions that we can answer and enquired where/how to buy the products. Amazingly, everything went smooth and we managed to attract favors and Minister's attention to walk into our pavilion right after our 5min presentation on Oaxis Inkcase, Zensorium's tinke, and Nanoveu 3D nano tech previews. I believe the entire walkthrough and photo-taking took 10min that is not seen in past Communicasia visits to our pavilion! This is a breakthough!
My learning points to share: Practice makes perfect, excite audience with enthusiasm and eye contact/smile, memorize 3 key points and allows room and creativity for audience to react. Be spontaneous is great! Don't step on laughter, let audience laugh and hold their responses. Get their mind share, don't rush!
My bosses, colleagues, and our account companies were pleased with our presentations. Glory to Jesus!
Toastmasters experience has certainly helped me gain confidence, and plenty of practice as Toastmaster of the Evening, prepared and impromptu speeches to manage audience responses, stakeholders expectations and overall situation. I have received feedback that I was loud, passionate, and enthusiastic tone that excite and captivated the audience and VIP. Everything seems to happen very fast, and we didn't quite expect Minister to accept our invitation inside the Pavilion to preview more innovation. Fortunately, I had practiced all and was able to rise up to the occasion and do my best!
Seeing is believing, hearing is believing, practice is everything!
if I can do it, so can you :)
The next evening, Nanoveu has won the "Best Consumer Solution"at the Singapore-French ICT Awards by Ubifrance. Due to their absence, I represented them to collect the awards on stage and had the pleasure to share some moments of joy! What pleasant surprise! My new pink and black dresses from New Look really brought wondrous surprises! :)
