Introducing the New COMDEX, the Next Generation in Virtual EventsCreating a Global Connection for the Technology Sales CommunityPRNewswire-FirstCall Everything Channel, a UBM company and the leader in technology sales channel media and services, today announced the re-launch of COMDEX as a virtual event. The virtual COMDEX is the only show designed exclusively for the global technology sales channel where they can come to see product and technology they can bring to market. Everything Channel is returning COMDEX to its original vision as Computer Dealer Expo, an event designed exclusively for the technology sales channel, a community that drives $424 billion or two-thirds of technology sales in North America. (Source: Dataquest) The virtual COMDEX will be built on a cutting-edge, globally-enabled virtual event technology platform which will feature the city of Las Vegas and its neon lights - but no cross town traffic, no unruly crowds and no taxi cab lines.

It will also provide a forum for the sellers of technology to visit with technology vendors to view new products and technology roadmaps. "The technology sales channel drives two-thirds of technology sales worldwide," said Robert Faletra, CEO, Everything Channel. "We live in a globally connected world and a virtual COMDEX gives us the ability to connect this powerful market which is now untapped. When COMDEX first launched it was positioned as a show for the technology sales channel, we are pleased to bring it back to its initial mission." With time constraints and an audience that cannot always travel, COMDEX will complement Everything Channel's live events by building new relationships and connecting existing relationships. Additionally, COMDEX will showcase Everything Channel's extensive offerings including superior content, media services, education, consulting, research as well as field sales and marketing. COMDEX's virtual environment, created by UBM Studios, a creative and strategic marketing agency which specializes in building next-generation virtual media business solutions, connects a global audience of technology sellers through a robust virtual event environment with an intuitive user interface and appealing visuals.
