Wainhouse Research Selects iCongo's Online Event Platform

Online Conference and Exhibition to Provide Free Educational Opportunities for a Global Audience

Montreal, QC and Duxbury, MA (PRWeb) December 7, 2006 -- Wainhouse Research, the leading independent market research and analyst firm in the conferencing, collaboration, and unified communication space, announced the launch of the C4B (Conferencing for Business) Virtual Tradeshow. C4B is an online virtual conference and exhibition powered by iCongo, and is scheduled to start in January 2007.

The C4B program has two parts; a series of monthly live conferences, and an ongoing exhibition of industry vendors, products, and services. Each monthly half-day conference includes several back-to-back educational webcasts on a topic of interest to the user community. Sample topics from the 2007 C4B agenda include:

- Conferencing Managed Services - Fact, Fiction, or Hype?

- Reaching Your Audience with Streaming and Webcasting

- Understanding the Value of Telepresence

The C4B exhibitor tradeshow booths provide end user attendees with a convenient way to learn about the various offerings in the market place. Similar to brick and mortar booths, C4B virtual booths allow visitors to access product demos, download promotional materials, view prerecorded presentations, and even participate in a live chat session with sales reps and product management staff. Unlike traditional tradeshows, C4B remains open 24 / 7 / 365, providing attendees with on-demand access to valuable information and vendors with a cost-effective way to meet end users interested in their offerings.

"Wainhouse Research is pleased to provide this free educational opportunity to enterprises around the world," reports Ira Weinstein, Partner at Wainhouse Research and Program Director of the C4B Virtual Tradeshow. "C4B leverages virtual communication technologies to highlight the benefits of those very solutions. In other words, C4B gives attendees a first-hand look at conferencing solutions while allowing participating vendors to practice what they preach."

The C4B program is powered by the iCongo (www.icongo.com) ICE3 Virtual Tradeshow Platform to ensure the best possible user experience.

"iCongo has proved to be the preferred supplier for companies wishing to operate online events and tradeshows." said Irwin Kramer, President and CEO of iCongo Inc. "We are proud to be working with Wainhouse Research in their launch of this global initiative."
