MES On Demand: East was designed to provide technology vendors with the opportunity to continue to engage with IT and business decision makers from midsize enterprises looking to identify technologies and strategic approaches to save money and streamline businesses. The virtual trade show generates qualified leads, builds brand awareness, compares technology providers, finds new solutions to existing problems, allows for networking with clients and prospects and sharing event content with colleagues.

According to the Meetings & Incentive Travel Magazine's survey (June 2009), a survey of nearly 1000 people in the events industry across all sectors – one of the largest surveys carried out in the UK meetings industry – showed 70 percent of corporate organisers and 64 percent of intermediary agencies predict a growth in the number of virtual conferences such as webinars and a reduction in the number of live events in the coming year.

Virtual events offer many business benefits:

• A cost-effective communications solution that is ideal for post-recession budgets
• Reach audiences that don't normally travel for business
• Result in qualified leads for organizations of all sizes and across all industries
• Content can be archived and reused
• Content can be easily shared with individuals who are unable to attend an in-person event.

Event sponsors attended with booth presence including, silver sponsors, Epicor, HP-Intel, IBM, Kaspersky, LifeSize, Radware, SonicWall, and TriGeo.
