"We are pleased to be an exclusive service provider for such premiere industry events," said Dave Gardy, chairman and co-CEO of TV onthe WEB. "Our webcasts provide a great resource for industry professionals who failed to attend the show, as well as a value-added marketing tool for exhibitors."
eTradeshow's online Mobile & PDA Expo will feature a virtual exhibition hall, "cyber" booths with interactive demonstrations, speaker's notes, downloadable brochures, and direct, real-time links to company representatives.
Comercis' eTradeshow service will also enable exhibitors from the Mobile & PDA Expo to set up multi-page, custom "booths," designed to attract individuals and businesses who may not be able to attend the actual tradeshow.
Additionally, exhibitors in the Expo will have the opportunity to broadcast company and product presentations that were recorded at the actual show.
