D&H’s “K-12 Opportunities” lounge, situated in the center of the exhibit floor, will be one of the high points of the show. This mega-exhibit will allow resellers to browse and test equipment priced for the classroom, recommended for the education marketplace by D&H’s vendor partners. It will offer attendees hands-on access to K-12 products from Acer, Actiontec, ASUS, AVer Information, Belkin, Cisco, CODi, Cyber Acoustics, Epson, Google, HP, Intel, Lenovo, Microsoft, OtterBox, RoBo 3D, Samsung and ViewSonic. D&H will conduct a prize drawing for a 50-inch television at this exhibit.

Representatives from Wells Fargo Capital Finance will be in attendance to promote an exclusive new reseller financing program featuring extended, interest-free terms, which the company is offering through D&H. This option is designed to increase the purchasing power of D&H resellers for sales to the K-12 marketplace. It covers products in categories such as laptops, desktops, tablets, networking products, projectors, and screens; and extending to accessories and gear such as cases, charging docks, headphones and calculators.

The distributor’s renowned Solutions Team will have a booth focusing on D&H’s new Disaster Management initiative. Vendors contributing to this project include Carbonite, Lenovo, Minuteman, Western Digital, APC, Synology, Intel, Tripp Lite, Cisco, CyberPower, HP Server, McAfee, Etón, Crucial and Microsoft. Attendees can enter to win a disaster recovery prize bundle containing an APC Smart-UPS C power unit, an Etón self-powered radio, a Crucial internal solid state drive, and a Wilson Electronics mobile wireless kit.

As with all D&H trade events, this is an active “selling show” for D&H customers, which means attendees receive special discounted pricing for merchandise ordered on the floor. Additional door prizes will be offered, including a 17.3-inch Lenovo IdeaPad for one lucky winner.

“At D&H, we continually try to add value and excitement for our resellers through our trade show offerings. The brand new, K-12 Opportunities space is our latest effort, which coincides with D&H’s recent campaign to help reseller gain sales in this complicated but high-potential vertical,” said Mary Campbell, vice president of marketing at D&H Distributing. “In addition to out-of-the-box demo booths, we offer an extraordinary roster of cutting-edge technologies and trend-based sessions, all of which help prepare our customers to attain a lead in the marketplace.
