QR codes have been around for a long time – as measured by the pace of technological change that is. But they’re just a type of snazzy bar codes aren’t they? So what’s all the excitement about?
‘It’s all about driving more qualified leads,’ says top Gizmologist, Marie-Claire Andrews. ‘To really get the most “bang for you buck”, you need to get creative with these babies,’ says Andrews. Read more →

We were delighted to finish in the regional top 3 in our category in this market entry competition supported by UK Trade and Industry, New Zealand Trade and Enterprise and HSBC. The purpose of the competioin was to support business growth and expansion, exporting, entrepreneurship and accelerates high-growth ventures in New Zealand. We were up against some formidable competition and very proud of this endorsement of what we’ve achieved with ShowGizmo since we set up SmartShow and launched ShowGizmo earlier this year.
Following its successful launch at CIO Summitt New Zealand 2010 in July, ShowGizmo is delighted to have been selected as the technology partner for ITEX 2010, produced by the same group. This exciting November 23 event is shaping up to be a huge day. Read more →
We get asked a lot which native applications the ShowGizmo platform supports – Smartphones…Symbians…standard issue phones?
At this stage, we’ve gone with Blackberry and iPhone, with others planned for release early in the new year, but the question slightly misses the point. Having an iPhone or Blackberry is merely the icing on the cake, putting the show into the palm of those Smartphone users hands during the physical event. But ShowGizmo’s powerful web engine enables ALL event participants to find and be found, plan, search, prioritise, connect and network and share information before, during and after the shows they’ve registered for, irrespective of which phone they use. Being able to set up a profile on the website means no one misses out. It’s the combination of web and phone technology that underpins our ‘killer app’.

The days are long gone when events were just events say top producers.
As Fairfax Media’s Julie Gill (one of the producers of CIO) sees it, ‘You’ve got to move with the times—people are expecting technologies like ShowGizmo at events.’
Very true—feedback to the ShowGizmo team bears this out in spades. In a social media-empowered world, events need to be able to build and foster a sense of community before, during and after their calendar dates if they are to really engage with and connect people productively and in ways they are used to.
‘Gizmo’ (Vb) – to search for and access information and people using a smartphone device in order to get better results from attending or otherwise participating in an event – trade show, conference, exhibition, festival or other large event.
First known usage at CIO 2010 New Zealand Summit July 22nd 2010 by a sponsor to describe the act of searching for a particular contact using the ShowGizmo platform. ‘I’ll just “Gizmo” that!’
ShowGizmo has introduced a whole new way of thinking, with the practice being referred to as Gizmology by CIO attendees and practitioners as Gizmologists.
SmartShow is delighted to have added a new layer of richness to our wonderful, expressive language.
No mistake! Identical twins were born to this proud iPad at CIO New Zealand Summit 2010. After a 10 minute labour, mother and twins (weighing an improbable 135grams each) are doing well. The father was not available for comment.
Now in its 4th year, CIO Summit gathers New Zealand’s CIOs and Senior IT Directors together over two full days of conference presentations. With its accompanying exhibition, this Summit is the premier event for CIOs in New Zealand.
