I am delighted to announce that I will be joining over 40 marketing and Internet professionals who will be speaking at eComXpo, the three-day, completely virtual tradeshow for marketers, networks, etailers, agencies and advertisers taking place totally online from October 9-11th, 2007. I will be hosting one of their chat group sessions which is scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 9th starting at noon on the topic Interactive Promotions that include Sweepstakes, Contests and Games Create Results.
“We’ve managed to attract the top talent in the eCommerce industry to present at this show”, noted eComXpo’s event director and founder, John Grosshandler. “The overwhelming success of our unique presentation style allows us to offer live presentations and Q&A to our attendees, as well as on-demand presentations throughout the show. The opportunities for our speakers to impart their knowledge and expertise, as well as to “get the word” out to the over 8,000 expected show attendees is just mind-boggling.”
In addition to the daily keynote presentations there will be multiple
panel and features presentations throughout the three days on many different topics. Some of the ones of interest to me are the following:
Word of Mouth Marketing: 5 Simple Steps - Keynote by Andy Sernovitz, CEO, GasPedal, 10/9 at 10:30-11:30
Social Networking and Affiliate Marketing - Panel moderated by Linda Woods, President, Partnercentric - 10/9 at 3:00 - 4:00
An Introduction to Google Checkout - On-Demand Presentation by Alyssa England, Product Marketing Manager, Google Inc.
For a full list of speakers, panels and topics, visit their speaker education page. Also, all presentations will be available on demand
through the eComXpo University for three
months following the show. Attendance is totally free, however, there is a fee to enroll in eComXpo University which gives you access to over 175 presentations on various topics. If you use this special registration page you will be given a discount if you decide to enroll in the University at any time. This is a special offer they have given only to us participants to pass along.
In addition to the educational sessions, attendees can network with each other and “hang-out” in the
virtual lounge, join forums, earn points towards show prizes and visit and interact with exhibitors. Here's a sample image of what you'll see on the floor. There is also a search tool that you can use to find other attendees at the event with similar interests as you from their profile data.
I’m looking forward to sharing my thoughts and ideas on interactive promotions within a conference environment that is mostly focused on SEM and eCommerce. So it's going to be interesting to see what types of questions come up and how much interest there will be on this topic. This is the first year that eComXpo is doing these Group Chat sessions so I am one of the guinea pigs. So I invite you to please stop by the chat session, ask some questions or add some of your insights. All are welcome.
The other thing I'm looking forward to is experiencing a totally virtual tradeshow and interacting and networking with other professionals right from the comfort of my desktop. eComXpo is anticipating over 8,000 attendees for this three-day event based on the number who registered for their last event held back in March.
Please register here for the conference using my special promotional code (DECLEMENTE)and come chat with us at noon on Tuesday, Oct. 10th. I could use some help from other promotional marketers.
