An automated event scheduler assists customers and prospects to keep track of keynote presentations and special events, while access to the main Exhibit hall is available for the duration of the show to registered attendees.

eTradeShowsOnline was recently selected as the platform to deliver the Tradersworld Online Expo, a virtual event for Futures Traders, sponsored by Tradersworld magazine. The 5 day show attracted 2200 registered attendees from 61 countries who experienced presentations from 60 industry experts and access to 35 Exhibitors and their staff who presented in virtual booths.

Reaction among Attendees, Speakers and Exhibitors alike, was overwhelmingly positive, proving the convenience and power of this virtual format, so much so that the same magazine plans another event for March 2007.
