NARMS Announces Virtual Trade Show Element for 2009 Spring Conference
August 25, 2008 · Print This Article
Stevens Point, WI: NARMS International has announced the addition of a Virtual Trade Show in conjunction with its 2009 Spring Conference & Exposition, giving members a unique experience opportunity. In partnership with Digitell, Inc. of Jamestown, NY, the virtual trade show experience will give actual conference trade show exhibitors both pre and post show exposure via the internet with year-long exposure in the virtual world.
Also, conference registrants will have an advance opportunity to preview the live trade show experience and interact with host exhibit companies before attending the live trade show as part of the 14th Annual NARMS Spring Conference & Exposition being held April 4-7 at The Broadmoor, Colorado Springs, CO.
Additionally, NARMS associate members who are not available to take part in NARMS Conference may still be able to reach out to potential business partners via the virtual trade show opportunity. Site visitors will create their own personalized character for navigation through the Spring Conference campus opportunity. The 3D environment will both create and then re-create an experience likened to actually walking through the NARMS International Trade Show at the time of Spring Conference.
Further, several of the educational breakout sessions and NARMS divisional track learning sessions may become available for post-conference viewing at future scheduled times, allowing for refreshed audience interaction and renewed excitement over popular topics and discussions on a fee basis.
