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.”
