OMAHA, Neb., June 20, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Tivus, Inc.
(PINKSHEETS: TIVU) today announced the Company will be attending
the 2011 Hospitality Industry Technology Exposition and Conference
(HITEC®), sponsored by the Hospitality Financial & Technology
Professionals, in Austin, Texas,
June 20-23, 2011.
"This week, key Tivus executives will be attending the
Hospitality Industry Technology Exposition and Conference,"
commented Shiva Prakash, Tivus' president and chief executive
officer. "With the arrival of the HD IPTV satellite 'head-in' to
North America in late 2009, the
potential for new, never-before-possible revenue has 'ignited'
massive attention from an industry eager to leverage this new
entertainment technology."
Attendee demographics include job functions in Corporate (24%),
General Management, Sales & Marketing (13%), IT/IS (32%),
Finance (10%), and Owners & Operators, from worldwide Casinos,
Clubs, Consulting Firms, Cruise Lines, Educational Institutions,
Hotel/Hotel Management Companies, and Resorts. Fifty-two percent of
attendees have purchasing power over $250K, and 69% possess 10+ years of experience in
the industry.
Phil Marriott, Tivus’ executive
vice-president of domestic and international sales, commented, "The
hospitality industry has long needed a new, reliable platform to
generate significant in-room revenue. For the first time in the
industry, Tivus has taken what once was a major capital expenditure
that generated little, if any revenue, and leveraged its
interactive nature to generate significant ad-based revenue in
addition to any premium content-on-demand profits.
"The attendee base at this show provides one of highest
concentrations of potential Tivus customers of any trade show, and
we look forward to discussing our HD IPTV system with hotel as well
as cruise and gaming industry clients," Marriott concluded.
