Global PrintExpo Launches as a Fully Virtual Exhibition

Published: March 31, 2020

Resolve Business Management has announced the launch of Global PrintExpo - the world’s first Virtual Exhibition and conference facility for the printing industry.  In developing this concept, Show Directors Wayne Beckett and Chris Watson of RBM have utilized their technical experience managing cloud based products as well as in running large-scale printing industry exhibitions.  The show will open in June 2020.

“We believe this is clearly the right time to launch a virtual print show, not just because of the present restrictions in attending physical trade shows which will be in place for some time, but also because of the sustainability advantages and easier accessibility for visitors,” said Beckett.  “We know that a lot of companies are geared up for new product launches later this year and with no current trade shows, this will have a massive impact on their businesses.  Global PrintExpo is designed to give suppliers a regular stream of enquiries throughout the year and their stand URL’s can also be used for advertising and marketing opportunities outside of the exhibition.”

The Global PrintExpo Virtual Exhibition will work in the same way that a live exhibition does, except that anyone can visit the show 24/7 365 days a year, from anywhere in the world without the cost of flights and hotels. The 10,000m² venue and all the stands will be rendered out to real physical dimensions. So that when the show opens in June 2020, visitors will register and be able to navigate through the hall and visit stands, complete with 3D products, HD videos and literature downloads, generating real time sales enquiries.

Exhibitors will be able to update the products on their stands with a range of interactive content that visitors can explore and download. An intuitive search interface and interactive floor plan ensures that the show is easy to navigate, and the best content is always found first.

Another added advantage of a virtual exhibition is that exhibitors will be able to keep updating their stand or featuring a different product each week if required. Through their admin back office exhibitors can change the content such as videos and brochures as regularly as required. 

In addition, Global PrintExpo will be running a monthly conference program, where exhibitors can run seminars and demonstrations to a global market. Show directors will also be working with various print associations around the world to produce country driven content.

Once the show goes live in June, Global PrintExpo plans to invest in promoting the show around the world to end users.  Exhibitor VIP passes will be issued in the same way as traditional shows in order to drive visitor footfall.

Global PrintExpo is co-locating with another popular virtual trade show www.IndustryExpo.online which has received over 40,000 visitors since it opened in January.  Global PrintExpo will be located in Hall #2 hosted on the V-Ex Virtual Exhibition platform.
