As we enter 2012 with years of experience in virtual events and meetings for education, collaboration and marketing, what have we learned and what does it mean for the future? This leadership panel will explore both sides of the big issues: Do virtual exhibits work? Is anyone successfully monetizing their virtual programs? 2D or 3D – does it matter? What’s the ROI on virtual engagements and how do we measure it? These and many more issues will be hotly debated from the stage and the floor. You don’t want to miss this!
