I’ve never been to an online trade show. How does it work?
BlackXPO is a pretty straightforward event. Imagine all the benefits of a top trade show aimed at ecommerce marketers, but instead of everyone having to travel to the show, they can attend from the comfort of their 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.
Tell me more about the Networking?
Effective networking is core to the online trade shows we put on, and it will be core to BlackXPO as well. You’ll leverage standard technologies like interactive chat, along with custom e-card sharing. The result is the ability to have far more interactions with people you want to communicate with than would ever be possible at a traditional event.
You’ll be able to easily identify who else is at the show at any particular time, so no more squinting at name badges rushing by. Plus, you can always pick up the phone to supplement your interactive chat if you’d like. So, sign up now and prepare to meet folks you never would otherwise meet, or reconnect with old acquaintances.
How is BlackXPO™ different?
We have 2 programs.
We offer a full year display and we also provide a periodic LIVE display program.
In our first program for a fraction of the cost of one weekend outworld Expo(Tradeshow) event, you get to showcase your products & company for an entire year. No travel costs, hotel stays, bad food, etc.
Included in our first program you'll also receive a BlackStar Certificate at 1/2 price for 1 year to qualified applicants who are participating BlackXpo vendors.

Three days is a long time to be online. Can I come and go as I please?
Absolutely. With our second program the beauty of our online event is that it’s so easy to fit into your already busy schedule. The live event is held over three days, so that everyone wanting to participate can find some time during those three days to benefit from the education, networking, marketing and fun that BlackXPO 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 BlackXPO. 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 very appealing "specials" that will provide an extra discount for attendees of the show.
What are the technical requirements to attend BlackXPO?
BlackXPO requires that you have Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher or Firefox 1.5 or higher. A broadband connection is required to view the presentations.
