eComXpo is an educationally focused, online Virtual tradeshow designed specifically for search, affiliate and Internet marketers. The show takes place entirely on the Internet. Admission to the tradeshow is free for visitors, including access to the educational sessions.
Visitors have the ability to engage other visitors of the conference directly and communicate with each other and exchange contact information with exhibitors and other visitors.[1] Those are common activities from real world trade shows, transported to the Internet.[2].
European presence was strong in the inaugural show. Participants cited the savings of time and money that online trade shows provide as the reason for their participation.[3] Exhibitors treat the online event just like a normal convention in the real world.[4]
The panel discussions are broadcast via Internet radio by WebMasterRadio.fm and available in mp3 format and as a podcast xml feed.[5]
