When I saw the original video I knew something bad was going to happen. Anyways, this may actually be a great opportunity for Armaggedon to expand to other markets such as North America with the exclusive help of Linus & crew. Sounds rather exciting to be honest.

Mistakes happen and Slick isn't the first person to report false information.

Lessons to be learned.

Slick

- Confirm and verify information before going on cam and reporting it.
 
- If vendors refuse entry because they don't know who you are then provide them information. IE, this forum, the LinusTechTips channel.
show them how many viewers you have, where they live...etc
 
- If they choose not to allow you in, leave your card with your contact info on it and channel links.
if they don't see the benefit of free advertising, then that's their problem, move on.


Armaggedon
- Have someone available for ALL media who show up at your booth regardless if you know who they are.

- Just because Linus and Slick are based in Canada does not mean that they aren't watched by people in markets you sell to.
Free advertising is good, don't shoo Youtube channel reviewers away just because they don't have million viewers.

NCIXCom channel alone is watched thousands of people all over the planet.

- People outside your target market who see your products and decide they want one WILL spend the extra money to get it shipped to where they are if they feels it's worth it.


Also.

Shows like Computex have systems in place to vet the vendors they allow into their shows
if a company is known for selling knockoffs or pirate goods they will not be allowed in and
if they manage to get in will be kicked out once they are found out to be selling such products.

I've worked many shows in Canada [Electronics, Homes, crafts...etc] and I can verify that the big ones
do not tolerate having companies like that on their floors.

I work at Micro Center. Please bear in mind that it's in-store pickup only.

Nope, flying.
