Trade Show/Conference Summary-2007
IDGLOBAL continued its aggressive pace of high visibility presence at anti-counterfeiting exhibitions, a multitude of trade shows, conferences, and enforcement training symposia throughout North America. IDGLOBAL attended eight major conferences and tradeshows in 2007.
On November 13, IDGLOBAL's anti-counterfeiting technology and solutions applications were showcased by no less than three speakers at the largest pharmaceutical enforcement conference of the year, which was held in Florida. IDGLOBAL was invited to this exclusive conference at the invitation of the enforcement division of one of the largest drug manufacturers in North America. As a result, several one on one meetings and specific demonstrations were set up for these interested companies and organizations at the 12th Annual KSL Anti-counterfeit Training and Enforcement Conference held in Toronto in early December.
The KSL show was the "Canadian" unveiling of the new IDGLOBAL Track 'n Trace Technology?. From that, three more U.S. based companies have agreed to investigate the technology opportunity with their respective corporations.
On October 17-19, IDGLOBAL attended the 2007 IACC Autumn Annual Conference (www.iacc.org) in Washington, D.C.. IDGLOBAL had a display exhibit and demonstrated its Nano-Molecular Markers? to some of the largest and most influential Fortune 1000 global corporations being affected by counterfeiting to the tune of several billion dollars annually. IDGLOBAL made a number of highly successful private presentations, which included a select group of European corporations in the Luxury Brands idiom. IDGLOBAL met again with three globally dominant corporations for next-stage discussions and program viability given global supply, distribution and sales channels. IDGLOBAL also met with a current customer to review year two anti-counterfeiting initiatives.
In July 2007, IDGLOBAL's Phil Viggiani participated as a guest speaker at the Interpol/RCMP International Crime Prevention Conference held in Niagara Falls. Mr. Viggiani was invited to speak at the three-day forum as an accredited source of information on selective measures - including anti-counterfeiting technologies - that are designed to combat diversion of funds from consumer goods channels for organized crime and terrorist activities
Sales & Marketing - Other
Since the beginning of 2007 IDGLOBAL's core clientele either renewed their contracts with the company, extended their purchase orders substantially, or moved from pilot project to a full production run schedule. IDGLOBAL has added a number of clients for its Nano-Molecular? marking technology for anti-counterfeiting applications.
In addition to these clients, IDGLOBAL has proposals with, is in discussions with, and/or engaged in pilot projects for its Nano-Molecular Markers? with numerous S&P 500 companies and a multitude of other organizations, both private and governmental, for a potential solution to their counterfeiting infections.
In late 2007, IDGLOBAL was invited to discuss and present with specific San Jose Intellectual Property (IP) lawyers representing Fortune 500 Silicon Valley clientele. This resulted in a multitude of new meetings being confirmed in Silicon Valley with key technology influencers and decision makers. These opportunities coupled with the confirmation of presentation facilities and administration space for new west coast clientele, made for an impressive end to 2007.
The addition of ATL Pharma Label company as a contracted partner in the sales and marketing of the pharmaceutical industry (see December 4, 2007 press release), has given IDGLOBAL high visibility with established multi-national pharmaceutical companies currently working with ATL.
In Q4 of 2007, IDGLOBAL's scientific / implementation team returned from a successful trip to China which was designed and intended to begin the implementation of a its Nano-Molecular Markers? into the manufacturing process of the garment, apparel, and related industries. This allows IDGLOBAL to accelerate a number of major opportunities to expand in this very lucrative sales vertical. IDGLOBAL will provide additional disclosure as they are available and client protocol allows.
