What is a Virtual Event?

A virtual event is a gathering of people sharing a common environment online to create an interactive experience similar to a conventional trade show. Attendees can interact with booth personnel, network with peers, watch video product demonstrations and webinars, and download product catalogs or other technical documents into their virtual trade show bag, just as you would at a conventional trade show. Since virtual trade shows can be attended by the entire team from a single computer screen, cost of travel, lodging and time away from the office issues are essentially eliminated.
