Virtual events' success grows - BtoB Magazine, Oct. 8, 2007
-
A study by one event organizer "examined more than 200 Unisfair virtual events that totaled
nearly 3,000 sponsors and 500,000 attendees. The results found that the
average virtual event has a registration of 3,102 people with an
attendance of 1,587. Leads generated for each sponsor totaled 348 per
event, and attendees spent an average of two-and-a-half hours at each
event while visiting an average 16 locations and completing at least
five downloads."
"Advanced Micro Devices...held a virtual event last year...the success rate for AMD's event well
exceeded expectations: "When you look at the physical trade show, we'll
maybe give away 700 to 800 pieces of collateral. At a virtual event we
can get 500,000 downloads, [an AMD executive said]."
