INXPO Launches Next Generation Hybrid Virtual Event Experience: vBIZ on January 12-13
Leading virtual platform provider, INXPO to feature Next Generation Hybrid Event Experience at Virtual Edge Summit.
CHICAGO, Jan. 10, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The world has gone hybrid. As Virtual Event Technology continues to show dramatic growth, an important new phase of adoption has emerged that enables show managers to more easily extend the reach of their physical events. Called Hybrid Events, this phenomenon is being driven by four key market factors:
- The growing need to extend the investment of existing physical events through continued conversation and extended life & reach of the event content.
- New Hybrid Event best practices have become more broadly adopted, as those demonstrated by INXPO at the upcoming Virtual Edge Summit.
- Virtual Event platforms are seeing increased adoption due to improvements in ease of use and improved experience.
- Access to high bandwidth has improved rich media access within event venues and remotely.
For those unable to travel to Las Vegas for the Virtual Edge Summit, INXPO has deployed a hybrid experience via their virtual environment, called "vBIZ." To enhance the experience and attendee participation, the virtual environment will include a partnership with Emilie Barta, who will serve as 'Virtual Emcee' for vBIZ at the summit.
Barta will interview industry experts in a live broadcast from the INXPO booth, streamed through the INXPO vBIZ environment where she will also facilitate active online audience participation. "We partnered with Emilie to be the voice of the virtual audience leading interviews and generating engaging programming to demonstrate the unique features of our innovative virtual platform and to ensure the virtual attendees are offered a unique experience and a voice," states Malcolm Lotzof, CEO of INXPO.
INXPO is a Diamond Sponsor at Virtual Edge Summit 2011 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. The event features 80 leading experts, who will discuss how virtual elements can boost the impact of events, communities and learning environments today and into the future.
On-site and virtual attendees can use the Twitter hash tag "#vbiz11" to tweet about vBIZ and to submit questions to the slate of industry experts INXPO will be interviewing.
