How to get the most out of your time at the IT Major incident Management Virtual Expo 2019


As a delegate of the IT Major incident Management Virtual Expo, there is plenty you can do to make the best out of your time online. How best do you do this when you’re used to the usual ‘bricks and mortar’ exhibitions?

Network

For many Major Incident and IT professionals, virtual trade shows are a viable option to meet people from within the industry, on a global scale, and meet other attendees and exhibitors that don’t – or can’t – attend traditional industry trade shows.

There are currently over 1,000 professionals from more than 38 countries registered to ‘attend’, from some of the world’s most recognisable companies.

With a virtual event, it’s not all about exhibitors coming to you; if you are interested in learning more about a product or service, make sure you connect with the exhibitor and ‘visit’ their stand.

Want to delve deeper? There is 1-1 video conference available and you can arrange a face-to-face video meeting during the event.

Furthermore, there are ‘connecting’ features that will enable delegates to fully network online e.g. exchange business cards with exhibitors and other attendees.

You can expect to see the leading providers of:

  • Major Incident automation, communication and on-call software
  • Cyber Security orchestration, automation & response platforms
  • IT managed services providers
  • Telecoms and network providers
  • Cloud computing platforms
  • Training and education
