How Virtual Reality Is Impacting Trade
Show in the Post-COVID Era

May 18, 2021

COVID-19 changed everything and trade shows are still on hiatus. How can we adapt to the new digital landscape to reach customers, create business opportunities and sell products? The ways we need to compete are different now and a return to business as usual is not what exhibitors and attendees will need as the world has leapfrogged into the digital space to create the new normal.

What is the future of trade shows? How to reach your audiences without trade shows? We thought about this question after LUMI, a leading exporter of TV/AV mounting solution products and ergonomic furniture in China, contacted us for help. They wanted to create a VR exhibition due to the cancellation of all trade shows during the pandemic. We have never done this before, but we think this might be an opportunity for resetting a new carrier of trade shows in the future.

VR technology is changing the way we train, learn, entertain and communicate. Aside from VR applications in video games and entertainment media, VR is also now disrupting trade shows and commercial events. Discover the advantages of using virtual reality for your business, event, tradeshow, or exhibition.
