Best in Class Virtual Platform
With more than 10,000 attendees expected to connect to the virtual
event, ConnecTechAsia2020 will unlock possibilities that were not
previously available in a physical setting.
The event's four virtual exhibition halls will allow companies to
set up customisable virtual booths, with live presentations and
real-time interaction with buyers. Furthermore, the exhibitor
metrics dashboard will give them valuable real-time data and
insight into their customers' behaviour by capturing multiple
touchpoints and providing a multi-dimensional view of a visitors'
journey, allowing for more effective outreach and follow-up.
Networking opportunities are an integral part of any event
experience and have also been enhanced through a powerful AI
business matching platform. Attendees will receive personalised
meeting suggestions based on their interests and profile. On a
consolidated dashboard, visitors can view connections, find out who
is interested in setting up a meeting with them and arrange for
one-to-one video meets via virtual meeting rooms.
Conference delegates will have the full benefits and experience of
a live conference, available right at their fingertips using their
device of choice. This includes live keynotes, Q&A sessions and
breakout rooms. Content will also be available on-demand 24/7 for
delegates based in different time zones.
Comprising long-time favourites BroadcastAsia
(/www.connectechasia.com/broadcast-asia/) and CommunicAsia
(www.connectechasia.com/communic-asia/), ConnecTechAsia2020 will
feature new entrants SatelliteAsia
(www.connectechasia.com/satellite-asia/) and TechXLR8 Asia
(https://bit.ly/31Onga1) staging their respective exhibitions and
conferences. Inaugural Asian editions of accelerateHER Asia
(https://accelerateher.co/#/) and Elevating Founders
(https://bit.ly/3fS97O8), will also be key highlights of this
year's event, bringing with them the big names from the
women-in-tech and start-up worlds. After the live event,
ConnecTechAsia2020 will thereafter turn into a 24/7, 365-day
interactive marketplace, allowing exhibitors and buyers to continue
to connect and communicate on the same platform.
Mr Ivan Ferrari, Event Director, Tech, Media & Entertainment
Events, Informa Markets, who spearheads ConnecTechAsia said, "The
disruption we're facing today has pushed our community to
dramatically accelerate a digital transformation which was already
underway. With that same spirit in mind, at ConnecTechAsia we have
worked hard on identifying and investing in those exact virtual
features that we believe can grant the highest possible return on
investments for all attendees, sponsors, speakers and delegates who
will dedicate precious time and resources to make this online
experience a success. Success is indeed in the agency of others,
and we thank our community for trusting our work in these difficult
times. Together, we are contributing to shape the future of our
industry."
Showcasing their 5G capabilities across the exhibition and
conferences, Mr Xu Su, Chief Marketing Officer of Carrier BG,
Huawei Asia Pacific Region said, "As global 5G deployment begins to
ramp up, we need to strengthen our focus on industry applications
as this will help unleash the full potential of 5G. ConnecTechAsia
is a platform for Asia Pacific telecom operators and industry
partners, to come together to discuss the build-out of 5G networks
and explore potential business development."
"The business case for 5G is not just better connectivity. When
technologies like 5G, computing, cloud, and AI come together, they
reinforce each other and create numerous opportunities across five
major tech domains: connectivity, AI, cloud, computing, and
industry applications. The pandemic has reshaped how we live and
work and has dealt a heavy blow to the world economy. Together with
our partners and customers, including carriers and enterprises of
all types, we can use technological solutions to effect a positive
impact on our communities. We look forward to sharing more at the
event this year," he added.
Participating for the first time in a virtual tradeshow in the
technology and media sector, The GREAT Britain and Northern Ireland
Pavilion will be showcasing companies across all four segments of
ConnecTechAsia. They will bring with them a wide range of product
and services including professional audio, IPTV, OTT, secure
storage solutions, e-sports, fibre communications, content delivery
solutions, smart living, cloud services, big data and data
analysis.
Mr Mark Birchall, Managing Director, Tradefair, the organiser of
the pavilion said, "We are excited about being part of the new
ConnecTechAsia virtual platform as it gives all our companies the
opportunity to deliver live presentations and demos and interact
with visitors in real-time, and the continuing marketplace after
certainly provides great value for us. We look forward to the event
and connecting with new customers and partners to allow our
participants to grow their business in the region."
