@Dex – completely agree with you. From our perspective a virtual show can complement a physical show. With that said, you can’t disagree with some of the economic benefits of a virtual only show, such as no travel, lodging, catering and collateral costs.

I think there is a mrket for vitural trade shows but it will never replace the open market trade show. Some show require more human contact See also http://eldsusa.com for cstom designed and built trade show booth dex's last blog post..Adding Fabric Structures to Your Trade Show booth

[...] ON24 isn’t alone in this space, Unisfair and GoExhibit both offer similar services, and some companies like IBM have used Second Life to host digital trade shows. [...]

Tradky Software has developed a platform to create online virtual exhibitions in three-dimensions that are completely index-able by search engines. In the expo you can interact with other visitors or exhibitors.

There is an impressive live demo at http://www.tradky.com/m-home.html

Nice write up Janet – I think it’s a great idea, not only is it cost effective for the companies, it also saves time and money for consumers.
We are very eco-friendly as well with the use of virtual offices.

Very cost friendly. Imagine if 2,000 people had to attend a tradeshow compared to the online one.

My company (ON24) has had experience with customers leveraging webcasting as a way to communicate with large audiences (50 to thousands). With the cost of travel, lodging and time away from jobs, more and more global organizations recognize the value of “virtual” events, training, tradeshows, etc.

This is just the natural evolution of online event – webinars/webcasts, series of events, archives of conference sessions and now virtual tradeshows.

And how can one argue with the benefits of being socially responsible: less travel = less carbon footprint, electronic downloads = less paper being used, not to mention no useless tchokes!

Not all businesses would really like to have a virtual trade show. And yes its ahead of its time.

Webinars are already a reality so i suppose it was only a matter of time before virtual trade shows were as well.

What a strange idea. I think it is ahead of it’s time by a few years, which is a good place to be.

To me is makes perfect sense to bring tradeshows online, maybe even within virtual worlds such as Second Life. I say this because the costs of putting on a trade show are very high in real life, but in virtual worlds, you may get more participations for only a fraction of the price.
