What's an online e-Conference? What is an e-Session,
virtual expo, and v-booth?
An online e-Conference is a conference that takes place on the Internet; practically
at your PC. Like a physical (or offline) conference, an online e-Conference is
scheduled to take place at certain dates with a full program. All speakers call
in to an audio conference bridge and log onto a speakers-dedicated website which
enables them to deliver their presentations (including audio and Power Point
presentations). A one-hour panel discussion or presentation is referred to as
an e-Session. Attendees log into the e-Conference environment and pick an e-Session
to attend; attendees can also type in questions to the presenters LIVE. In a
similar fashion,, a virtual expo is opened for attendees to visit exhibitor's
virtual booths (or v-Booths). Back to top
What's the differences between online and offline
conferences?
Obviously, an online e-Conference and virtual expo doesn't offer any opportunity
for face-to-face contact. . An online event, therefore, is NOT a replacement
for physical conferences. It is, however, a very cost-effective way to bring
together companies and other interested parties from around the globe. It lets
you find new products and services, get educated about the latest developments
in the industry, and exchange virtual business cards with industry professionals.
No need to book a room in a hotel, make travel arrangements, or change your schedule.
You can attend an e-Conference from ANYWHERE and at ANYTIME since all e-Sessions
and v-Booths are kept available for on-demand replay and visits at your convenience,
year-round. Back to top
