Open House at Online Event, 'Supplier Diversity Fair – Fall 2006'
Virtual venue 'SupplierDiversityFair.com' welcomes certified diversity-owned businesses to Open House at the 11th web-event in the series.
Stillwater, OK (PRWEB) September 27, 2006 -- The 11th Supplier Diversity Fair will launch on October 25 on the Internet at http://www.SupplierDiversityFair.com with a new feature -- an Open House where certified MBE’s, WBE’s and other certified-diverse businesses may meet online and mingle with all participants at no cost. Pre-registration is required as well as creation of a business snapshot in a basic virtual display made available at no cost to certified diverse suppliers. Proof of certification is required prior to entry into the live online event.
The open house has been designed to give visiting corporate buyers an improved experience while offering diverse businesses a forum to intermingle and generate business opportunities amongst one another. Diverse suppliers may use this virtual fair in conjunction with in-person events and have the best of both worlds. Businesses seeking greater interactivity and lead-tracking can purchase rights to exhibit in feature-rich virtual booths for a nominal fee. The Fall 2006 edition of this event-series, an online tradeshow aimed at connecting businesses through supplier diversity programs, will last for 3 weeks, entirely online.
Certified diverse suppliers including Minority-owned, Women-owned Business Enterprises (MBE / WBE) and other diversity-owned businesses offering a variety of products and services are invited to participate by building virtual exhibits. Diverse-owned businesses as virtual exhibitors can purchase the ability to ‘staff’ virtual booths from the comfort of their offices without incurring the expense of traveling to a trade show venue, without shipping booths or taking time away from work. Exhibits will enjoy visibility to decision-makers and influencers in corporations and C-level executives in other diverse businesses. The virtual booths can be media-rich with live interaction capabilities.
Building a virtual exhibit is a simple process. No knowledge of programming is required. Diverse suppliers purchase rights to independently build media-rich virtual booths using simple online tools. Nobody travels. No booths are shipped. Everyone meets online for the duration of the event, and detailed activity reports are generated in realtime. Exhibitors are MWBE's and other diverse categories of ownership; they need neither IT staff nor knowledge of programming.
