Covidien Sputum Bowl Half-Time Show Promises Lots of Action
Leveraging its play-on-words, Sputum Bowl 2012 will take the “new” in New Orleans literally as this year’s event will be host to new twists and turns. A more contemporary competition will include “Risk Reward” and lifelines like “Ask an Expert” and “Call the Posse”. But, the best thing about this year’s competition is that select audience members will get to play against each other in an interactive competition in which winners will walk away with great prizes like a Kindle Fire and iPod Docking Station. How do you become one of the select few to participate in this “Audience Response” game? Visit Covidien booth 201 in the Exhibit Hall to find out!
