Fully virtual fairs
Companies in the sector that are committed to fully virtual fairs focus on publicizing new products. They expose their hardware through the virtual exhibitors showing their characteristics and accessories in detail.
Interactive product presentations are also widely used by companies for their ease of offering information regarding innovations.
-
Hybrid events: virtual and face-to-face
It is an event in which aspects of virtual fairs are combined with the characteristics of face-to-face events. They usually develop in a physical place. With a limited capacity, which can also be attended by an interactive audience thanks to the live broadcast and the creation of virtual rooms.
What should be considered in the creation of virtual fairs
Creativity plays a key role when organizing virtual fairs to keep the attention of the participants. Virtual events can be an experience for the company and attendees if the organization and quality of the content is considered, as well as providing the means to always increase business-attendee interaction.
It is important to have a communication plan to achieve maximum dissemination, where social networks cannot be missing informing of the date and the topics to be discussed.
