Artfest International, Inc. (OTCBB: ARTI) is pleased to announce that the Company will be attending the 2009 Licensing International Expo being held at the Mandalay Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada from June 2nd through June 4th.
Corporate management will be meeting with companies and organizations that represent artists, to present to them the opportunity to use Artfest International, or one of its subsidiaries, Art Channel, Inc. and Art Channel Galleries, Inc., as distribution channels for art or memorabilia.
They will also be presenting Artfest’s unique Radio Frequency Identification Device (RFID) service, which is used to authenticate original art and memorabilia, by use of a RFID chip that can be read by many cell phones or PDA devices. Each piece is tagged at the source where it originates and is not easily counterfeited, giving purchasers of the art or memorabilia assurance that they are getting what they paid for.
“We are very excited about attending the Expo and meeting with groups that can either increase our supply of artistic properties that are distributed through our members, or who may be customers for our state-of-the-art verification technology,” stated Edward Vakser, CEO of Artfest International, Inc.
