DESCRIPTION

Virtual trade show software. The fully hosted platform functions like a traditional hotel or conference center based trade show, translating exhibit halls, educational seminars, and training events into a virtual world environment. Virtual Trade Shows allow the attendee to forgo the time and expense of travel while enjoying some of the amenities of a traditional trade show. At a virtual trade show, there are realistic-looking exhibit halls with booths for showcasing products and services. The attendee can view demos, pick up literature and chat live with sales representatives. Keynote speeches and seminars are delivered either in real time or on-demand by podcast and webcast technology.
