| What
is eComXpo?
eComXpo is an educationally focused, online
virtual trade show designed specifically for search, affiliate
and interactive marketers. eComXpo attendees will be able
to choose from more than 175 educational sessions spread
across three days. Topics range from using email and search
to market your site, to “tips and tricks” of
this industry’s leaders. All the content of a top
trade show, without the cost, travel or hassle that make
traditional events out of reach for the vast majority of
ecommerce marketers.
In addition to the educational sessions, eComXpo will have
virtual exhibit halls, featuring both an Affiliate Marketing
and Search Marketing show floor, with hundreds of merchants
and vendors willing to provide you with any information
you need to become a more successful marketer. And because
eComXpo is held completely online, you’ll be able
to benefit from three days of education, networking, marketing
and fun, all from the comfort of your home or office. The
result will be the largest number of search, affiliate and
interactive marketers ever assembled in one place at one
time.

I’ve
never been to an online trade show. How does it work?
eComXpo is a pretty straightforward event. Imagine all
the benefits of a top trade show aimed at ecommerce marketers,
but instead of everyone having to travel to the show, they
can attend from the comfort of their home or office. And
the key benefits of a traditional trade show, including
networking, education and competitive intelligence can all
be achieved very effectively online.
Existing, widely adopted technologies including interactive
chat, high speed broadband and online presentation tools
help make this possible. Plus, we’ve refined a highly
interactive and fun User Experience that is key to recreating
the trade show experience online. We’ve leveraged
this combination of standard technology and specialized
User Experience for more than 5 years at other online trade
shows with great success.

| Tell
me more about the educational sessions?
The educational sessions at eComXpo are focused into two
areas. The eComXpo Education Center where attendees can
view panel presentations as well as Keynote presentations
free of charge. The panelists and keynotes are available
following their presentations to answer questions which
are then broadcast live over internet radio.
Attendees can also enroll in the eComXpo University. The
University features all presentations from past eComXpo’s
as well as the ones from the current show. They are played
on demand and are available for post show viewing.
Each eComXpo presentation is educationally focused in three
main topic areas: Affiliate Marketing, Interactive Marketing
and Search Marketing. In the past we have featured the keynotes
from all the major tradeshows (DMA. SES, Affiliate Summit,
etc) as part of the eComXpo educational lineup.

Tell
me more about the Networking?
Effective networking is core to the online trade shows
we’ve put on over the last 5 years in different industries,
and it will be core to eComXpo as well. You’ll leverage
standard technologies like interactive chat and email, along
with custom search and instant messaging tools. The result
is the ability to have far more interactions with people
you want to communicate with than would ever be possible
at a traditional event.
You’ll be able to easily identify who else is at
the show at any particular time, so no more squinting at
name badges rushing by. Plus, you can always pick up the
phone to supplement your interactive chat if you’d
like. So, sign up now and prepare to meet folks you never
would otherwise meet, or reconnect with old acquaintances.

Tell
me more about the virtual trade exhibit hall?
Hundreds of Merchants and Vendors will have virtual “booths”
in the eComXpo exhibit hall all categorized in a way that
makes it easy to find who you’re looking for. Potential
exhibitors include networks, agencies, technology providers
and others interested in an audience of thousands of merchants,
advertisers, publishers, affiliates, search marketers, media
buyers, brand managers, marketing managers, directors of
ecommerce and more. Plus, affiliate managers at large and
small merchants will be exhibiting with an eye towards recruiting
hot new affiliates, re-energizing existing partners or announcing
new promotions, products or strategies. The booths will
be packed with valuable information for their targeted audiences.
They’ll be staffed by personnel able to interact with
booth visitors using interactive chat, email and of course,
picking up the phone is appropriate.

Three
days is a long time to be online. Can I come and go as I please?
Absolutely. The beauty of our online event is that it’s
so easy to fit into your already busy schedule. The event
is held over three days, so that everyone wanting to participate
can find some time during those three days to benefit from
the education, networking, marketing and fun that eComXpo
has to offer. You can come and go as often as you please,
and spend as little or as much time as you want in the educational
sessions or the exhibit hall. The choice is completely up
to you. And for exhibitors, you’ll be able to staff
the booth during the hours that work best for you, plus
multi task during the show on other work you have to get
done.
|
Will
I be able to view all the latest offerings from Vendors serving
this market?
Yes. Vendors with goods and services targeted at ecommerce
marketers will be exhibiting at eComXpo. Having all these
vendors in one place at one time will make it easy for you,
in one fell swoop, to keep up with this rapidly evolving
marketplace.
Plus, many of these vendors will have very appealing "specials"
that will provide an extra discount for attendees of the
show.
|
What
will make eComXpo so much fun?
What we’ve learned from putting together online trade
shows for 5 years is that the event needs to be fun to realize
its full potential for attendees, presenters and exhibitors.
eComXpo will leverage games, contests and giveaways to keep
folks actively participating during the event.
Prizes will include things like tropical vacations, iPods
and flat screen TV’s. Plus, just being part of a first
of its kind event like eComXpo will prove that you can have
fun and get smarter at the same time.

will eComXpo be held?
