ATLANTAUP Media Group announced the launch of Virtual PCB, the industry's first virtual trade show and conference for the PCB design, fabrication and assembly markets. The premiere event takes place Feb. 12-13, 2008.
 
A fully interactive, Web-based event, Virtual PCB (www.virtual-pcb.com) incorporates all the critical features of a live event while allowing PCB design, fabrication and assembly equipment and materials buyers and sellers to interact online. Virtual PCB is supported by a proven software platform and will be accessible on-demand for three months following the two-day live event.
 
Features of the upcoming virtual event will include custom exhibit booths, live attendee-with-attendee and attendee-with-exhibitor communication, live equipment demonstrations, real-time technical presentations and much more.
 
UP Media Group President Pete Waddell said: "We've been researching virtual shows for over seven years, and the technology has finally caught up to where such an event can actually look and feel like a 'real' show. We don’t intend for Virtual PCB to replace the face-to-face experience, but rather complement existing marketing strategies and expand market reach."
