NORTH ANDOVER September 12, 2016—Mobile Electronics® announced final figures for its August 20-22 KnowledgeFest educational conference and show in Dallas. Record-breaking attendance topped more than 1,300 mobile electronics industry professionals. The increase over 2015 can be attributed to more attendees from outside the Texas region, more attendees from the West Coast and more attendees from the Midwest and upper Midwest.

Nearly 500 attendees were from outside the six-hour drive from Dallas, a measurement used by Mobile Electronics to gauge its attendee market. With a growing Indianapolis KnowledgeFest, more mobile specialists have discovered the educational workshops and training offered at KnowledgeFest and are willing to travel to take advantage of this programming. KnowledgeFest has become the mobile electronics industry’s largest educational event. Dealer attendance at the over 80 hours of workshops and trainings in Dallas increased greatly over 2015.

“We are fast becoming this industry’s showcase for new technology, product and educational programming,” said Chris Cook, president of Mobile Electronics.

The Dallas show floor featured a record-breaking 53exhibitorsrepresenting the top brands in the mobile electronics industry and specialist channel.

In 2017, KnowledgeFest will return to Dallas in August. KnowledgeFest Indianapolis takes place April 10-12 at the Indianapolis Convention Center. For more information, go to KnowledgeFest.com.
