Frequently Asked Questions:
Virtual trade shows typically consist of live and pre-recorded webinars, web conferences, and virtual exhibition halls with virtual exhibitor booths. Essentially, visitors and exhibitors fill out online registration forms, pay any required fees, and then receive access to the virtual trade show.Exhibitors upload tailored content to the trade show site to set up their virtual booths, which work the same way that booths at live trade shows work. Each exhibitor uses their own branding and creates a desk or table and a product or service display. Visitors can "walk" through the virtual exhibitor hall to check out each booth.
A virtual trade show costs significantly less than a live trade show because everyone conducts their business from their own desks and devices. However, they aren't free. While a live trade show can cost up to $100,000, a virtual trade show might only run $3,000 to $5,000.
Draw up your goals before your virtual trade show so you can measure the event’s performance afterward. Develop a schedule to attract visitors. Partner with a virtual trade show vendor like AMP Event Group to demo your virtual environment and ensure your show flows seamlessly. Market your virtual trade show, making sure you educate potential visitors and exhibitors alike about the benefits of participating as well as how the technology works.
