A fully interactive, Web-based event, Virtual PCB (www.virtual-pcb.com) incorporates all the critical features of a live event while allowing PCB design, fabrication and assembly equipment and materials buyers and sellers to interact online. Virtual PCB is supported by a proven software platform and will be accessible on-demand for three months following the two-day live event.
Features of the upcoming virtual event will include custom exhibit booths, live attendee-with-attendee and attendee-with-exhibitor communication, live equipment demonstrations, real-time technical presentations and much more.
Among the exhibitors to sign on so far are Agilent, BTU, Dage, DEK and EFD.
UP Media Group President Pete Waddell said: "We've been researching virtual shows for over seven years, and the technology has finally caught up to where such an event can actually look and feel like a 'real' show. We don’t intend for Virtual PCB to replace the face-to-face experience, but rather complement existing marketing strategies and expand market reach."
