SmartSource Named Official Office Equipment Rental Services Provider to the 2012 Republican National Convention

SmartSource has been named as “Official Office Equipment Rental Services Provider to the 2012 Republican National Convention.” Under terms of the contract, SmartSource will be addressing the computer and office technology rental needs of the convention taking place in Tampa, Florida in August of 2012.  SmartSource has supplied a wide range of equipment and services in an unofficial capacity for the 2000, 2004, and 2008 Republican National Conventions and has been awarded the official designation this year.

According to SmartSource CEO & Presdent Mike McClernon, “It is our privilege to be a vital resource to the 2012 Republican National Convention. We value our long-term relationship with the Committee on Arrangements for the 2012 Republican National Convention, as well as other related entities including the Republican National Committee, Republican Governors Association, National Republican Congressional Committee, and the National Republican Senatorial Committee.”

SmartSource’s official capacity for the 2012 Republican National Convention follows a period in which the company has firmly established itself as the “go to” resource for major conventions, trade shows and conferences. Currently, SmartSource is the official computer and audio-visual technology provider for over 300 trade shows annually, and is a valued resource for many of the country’s largest convention centers. Perhaps the best testimony to its leadership was its selection as “Official Supplier” for Expo! Expo! 2011. It is the Annual Meeting of the International Association of Exhibitions and Events and regarded as one of the most significant events for the worldwide tradeshow and professional meetings industry.

In addition to its extensive inventory of PCs, laptops, servers, copiers and related peripherals, SmartSource also offers professional AV equipment, LCD and plasma monitors, kiosks, digital signage and video walls. One of its latest innovations is the SmartCharge™ Kiosk, a Mobile Device Charging Station.  Launched at Expo! Expo! 2011 last December, it serves as a charging station for mobile devices, in addition to having outstanding features for effective target marketing integrating digital signage, flight boards, web and video applications.
