Rent-to-own News - DSI announces 2010 electronic expo dates

March 11, 2010

DSI Systems' 2010 electronics expo tour will cover three states and again offer dealers their choice of four breakout sessions in addition to a general DSI presentation.

Toshiba, Mitsubishi, LG, Sharp, Monster, DIRECTV, and more will conduct the breakout sessions for small groups on specific products. Dealers will be able to ask questions directly to the vendors and receive hands on training.

The majority of DSI’s vendors will also participate on the trade show floor, offering one-on-one time for dealers to see new products and answer any questions. Aggressive show specials will be offered to participating DSI dealers, including “Expo Dinero” rewards for dealers making purchases at the show.
 
The keynote address at the Dallas Expo will be delivered by Noel Lee of Monster Cable Products. Monster Cable Products was founded in 1979 by Noel Lee, who was then a laser-fusion design engineer at Lawrence-Livermore Laboratory, as well as an audiophile and professional drummer.

Lee discovered that wires of different constructions produced varying degrees of audio performance when hooked up to loudspeakers. From this discovery, he developed a high performance speaker cable, named it Monster Cable, and literally created an industry.

Monster has since innovated and led multiple attachment categories including power, headphones, gaming, iPod, Pro M.I., computer, and much more. Noel Lee was awarded the entrepreneur of the year award in 1996 by Ernst & Young for his innovative “M5” customer focused attachment selling program.
