Application Tips

1. The completed application is due on January 22, 2010.
2. Make certain your product will be available for sale as of March 24, 2010.
3. Please note that you may opt out of pre-show marketing opportunities. If you do not wish to have your product information placed on the website or in press releases, you must indicate this request on your application.
4. Answer every question. If you cannot answer a question, please explain the reason.
5. Be concise and direct in the application form.
6. The application should contain detailed technical information that explains the unique qualities of the product. It should not be a marketing document. Focus your responses on what specifically sets your product apart from a design and engineering perspective. You are advised not to cut and paste your responses from sales and marketing materials. Be thoughtful.
7. Remember – SIA NPS judges are highly skilled and experienced in security technology design and application. It is a requirement of their position and each has a minimum of 10 years experience in the selection, purchase and/or installation of products within the category they are judging.
8. To help your presenter best use the very limited presentation time with the judges, please advise him or her that the judges have reviewed the application and materials that your company submitted prior to judging. Have your presenter read the Presentation Tips.
