eTailXpo is an educationally focused, online virtual trade show designed specifically for search, affiliate and interactive marketers. eTail has partnered with eCom Xpo to create a brand new 100% completely virtual event entitled eTail Xpo. The event serves a complement to our physical events- eTail West and eTail East, focusing the content on select key speakers in the interactive space.  This virtual eTail event fosters a year-round network of ecommerce, marketing, business development, sales, merchandising, affiliate and eBusiness professionals that consistently benchmark, knowledge-share and network as part of eTail community. 

In addition to educational content provided by senior level e-commerce and marketing executives, eTailXpo provides virtual exhibit halls, featuring both an Affiliate Marketing and Search Marketing show floor, with hundreds of merchants and vendors willing to provide you with any information you need to become a more successful marketer. And because eTailXpo is held completely online, you’ll be able to benefit from two days of education, and networking, all from the comfort of your home or office. The result will be the largest number of international e-commerce and marketing professionals ever assembled in one place at one time- bringing together over 7000 attendees from 79 different countries.

I’ve never been to an online trade show. How does it work?

Imagine all the benefits of a physical event, from comfort of your home or office. And the key benefits of a traditional trade show, including networking, education and competitive intelligence can all be achieved very effectively online.

Existing, widely adopted technologies including interactive chat, high speed broadband and online presentation tools help make this possible. Plus, we’ve refined a highly interactive and fun user experience that is key to recreating the trade show experience online. We’ve leveraged this combination of technology and specialized User Experience for more than 5 years with great success.

Tell me more about the virtual trade exhibit hall?

Hundreds of Merchants and Vendors will have virtual “booths” in the eTailXpo exhibit hall all categorized in a way that makes it easy to find who you’re looking for. Potential exhibitors include networks, agencies, technology providers and others interested in an audience of thousands of merchants, advertisers, publishers, affiliates, media buyers, brand managers, marketers, ecommerce executives and more. Plus, affiliate managers at large and small merchants will be exhibiting with an eye towards recruiting, re-energizing existing partners or announcing new promotions, products or strategies. The booths will be packed with valuable information for their targeted audiences. They’ll be staffed by personnel able to interact with booth visitors using interactive chat, email and of course, picking up the phone is appropriate.

Two days is a long time to be online. Can I come and go as I please?

Absolutely. The beauty of our online event is that it’s so easy to fit into your already busy schedule. The event is held over two days, so that everyone wanting to participate can find some time during those two days to benefit from the education, networking and marketing that eTailXpo has to offer. You can come and go as often as you please, and spend as little or as much time as you want in the educational sessions or the exhibit hall. The choice is completely up to you. And for exhibitors, you’ll be able to staff the booth during the hours that work best for you, plus multi task during the show on other work you have to get done.

Will I be able to view all the latest offerings from Vendors serving this market?

Yes. Vendors with goods and services targeted at ecommerce marketers will be exhibiting at eTailXpo. Having all these vendors in one place at one time will make it easy for you, in one fell swoop, to keep up with this rapidly evolving marketplace.

Plus, many of these vendors will have special promotions that provide an extra discount for attendees of the show.

What will make eTailXpo so much fun?

What we’ve learned from putting together online events is that the event needs to be fun to realize its full potential for attendees, presenters and exhibitors. eTailXpo will leverage games, contests and giveaways to keep folks actively participating during the event.

Prizes will include things like tropical vacations, iPods and flat screen TV’s. Plus, just being part of a first of its kind event like eTailXpo will prove that you can have fun and get smarter at the same time.
