Virtual Trade Show Provides Sneak Peak of Upcoming Builders’ Show

The Virtual Trade Show, an International Builders’ Show-related Web site that can be found at www.BuildersShow.com/VTS, features searchable exhibitor and product information from the more than 1,600 exhibitors that have signed up for the 2005 International Builders’ Show (IBS) in Orlando, FL on Jan. 13-16.

Visitors to the Virtual Trade Show (VTS) will get a sneak peak of what many of the exhibitors will be showing at IBS. VTS also enables visitors to contact the exhibitors online for more details or product information.

Use VTS to Determine Which Booths to See at IBS

Visitors can select from more than 300 product categories and search the exhibitors’ virtual booths for a listing of the products to be featured at the Builders’ Show.

In addition, many of the exhibitors have begun adding photographs of their products and listing the specials that they will be offering at IBS — so VTS can serve as a guide for what to see at the show.

VTS also enables visitors to develop their own personal itinerary and map for walking the exhibitor space at IBS so they can be sure to see the booths and products that are of greatest interest to them.

Search IBS Exhibitors’ Web Sites

Year round, visitors can search the virtual exhibits by:

  • Product Categories
  • Company
  • Keyword

VTS also has a search capability similar to “Google” and other Internet search engines that will enable visitors to search the Web sites of all the exhibitors at IBS from one location.

Request Product Literature

Visitors can also request product literature from the IBS exhibitors with just one click. This convenience is available with a VTS virtual business card — which is available free by clicking here.
