– Virtual events have come of age proliferating, growing and gaining
momentum;
– A major paradigm shift is occurring in the events industry and where
it is headed;
– Virtual events are projected to become an $18B+ industry in 5 years;

– Content is still king, followed by ease of use and cost savings.

“There are several major forces at play, creating the perfect environment for virtual tradeshows and online marketplaces to flourish moving forward, including the explosive growth of social networking and collaborative technologies, combined with the overall reduction of corporate travel budgets and need for creating new revenue streams and customer loyalty,” said RD Whitney, CEO of Tarsus Online Media. “And, the early adopters of virtual events are already beginning to reap the benefits.”
