03-10-2010 - Ever Been to a Virtual Trade Show?

dds tech fairYep, it's a trade show that you can enjoy from the comfort of your computer. No travel, no hassle, no layovers. BonaDent is sponsoring and participating in Pennwell's DDS Tech Fair -- a brilliant and exciting answer to the overwhelming nature of a national trade show. It works like a virtual world scenario, or a fancy videogame for the uninitiated. You navigate and visit booths and get into exchanges with reps from companies who are themselves stationed on their computers, but exhibiting virtually. Curious? Read on...

From the Tech Fair site:

During DDS Tech Fair, you can visit a booth by simply clicking on that booth.  Each booth will contain a Content tab and several listings within the tab. You can access more information for each listing simply by clicking on that particular listing. You can print documents or you can save them to your briefcase by clicking on the briefcase option. You can access the documents in your briefcase anytime by clicking on Briefcase at the top of your screen.

This is a great time to communicate with company representatives. You can ask questions about their show specials, questions about their products, make recommendations, or provide them with feedback about your personal experience with their products.  You can communicate through chat, e-mail, or V-cards. We highly recommend using e-mail to communicate. Chat requests can become overwhelming if too many people are trying to chat with one person at the same time.  To send an e-mail, you simply click on the booth staffers icon (at the bottom of the screen) and click on send mail.  Every booth contains a Group Chat; please contribute to the group chats as often as possible.
