The UK-based Resolve Business Management (RBM) has announced the launch of its Global PrintExpo β the worldβs first virtual exhibition and conference facility for the printing industry. In developing this new concept, show directors Wayne Beckett and Chris Watson of RBM have utilized their long-standing technical experience in managing cloud-based products, as well as their expertise in running large-scale printing industry exhibitions and tradeshows. The show is set to open in June of 2020. The Global PrintExpo Virtual Exhibition will work in the same way that a live tradeshow does β except that anyone can visit the show 24/7, 365 days a year, from anywhere in the world (obviously without costs of travel and hotels accommodations).
βWe believe this is clearly the right time to launch a virtual print show, not just because of the present restrictions in attending physical tradeshows which will be in place for some time, but also because of the sustainability advantages and easier accessibility for visitors,β said Beckett. βWe know that a lot of companies are geared up for new product launches later this year, and with no current tradeshows, this will have a massive impact on their businesses. Global PrintExpo is designed to give suppliers a regular stream of inquiries throughout the year β and their stand URLβs can also be used for advertising and marketing opportunities outside of the exhibition.β
