Virtual Tradeshow for eCommerce Marketers

I just recently came across this virtual tradeshow called eComXpo. I have talked before about how it is important to get out there and network. It is usually with the help and knowledge of others that you can put yourself over the top. This is a really hard business in which to be a lone wolf.

Now, when I spoke about this, I was talking more about REAL tradeshows. The kind where you have to travel and you rub elbows with real people. But, I understand that that makes it harder to attend. I mean, I have a few shows I would like to hit by the end of the year, but I can’t because of other obligations (a baby on the way being a biggie). What makes eComXpo different is that it is virtual. You don’t have to GO anywhere. Sweet!

It is an online tradeshow for online marketers and those interested in affiliate programs and ecommerce. Sounds interesting. It is a 3 day tradeshow, running from October 9-11. It’s got all the makings of a normal conference: keynotes, booths, etc. But, in Second Life style, you are doing the whole thing virtually. Watch this video of how it works.

It is free and you don’t have to go anywhere. So, I thought it was worthy of bringing to your attention.

As a concept, these virtual expos are a really cool idea. It will never replace actually meeting with real people, but these kinds of shows definitely have a role.
