Participate in The Virtual Outdoor Hospitality Expo from the comfort of your home or office, attend webinars, engage in direct discussions with your peers and leading industry suppliers, and bring your entire staff … all for FREE! http://outdoorhospitalityexpo.com/ Beginning this Thursday, November 10th and continuing on the following day, 11/11/11, the 2nd International Virtual Outdoor Hospitality Expo will be LIVE on the Internet beginning at 12 Noon, Eastern Time, each day. The Expo will feature sponsors’ and exhibitors’ booths, educational webinars, product and service demonstrations, a resource library and a chat lounge.

All of the booths will still be accessible and the seminars will be viewable since they will have been recorded. http://outdoorhospitalityexpo.com/PDF/Press Release XIV - It’s Down to the Nitty Gritty on Virtual Expo.pdf With the Virtual Outdoor Hospitality Expo only a week away, the Producers and the show’s software provider, VCopious, are putting the finishing touches on the event. Almost all the booths are now set-up and the Exhibitor’s roster and webinar schedule is complete and the training sessions underway for Sponsors and Exhibitors alike. http://outdoorhospitalityexpo.com/PDF/Press Release XIV - It’s Down to the Nitty Gritty on Virtual Expo.pdf Like a physical show, the virtual show contains, exhibit booths, conferences and an area where attendees can socialize. Unlike physical shows, virtual shows require no venue, show dresser, travel, hotel stays, shipping, car rentals, restaurant dining, or time away from business or home. These advantages alone are staggering, but consider this. Speakers need not travel nor stay at a hotel, saving the producer money and making it easier to afford and attract key speakers. There are no costs of renting a convention center for a given amount of days then having to leave it for the next event. http://outdoorhospitalityexpo.com/PDF/PressRelease09212011_E-News_to_Publish_Souvenir_Program_for_Virtual_Expo.pdf Campground and RV Park e-News has once again been selected by the Producers of the Virtual Outdoor Hospitality Expo to publish the Souvenir Program for this year’s event. Advertising rates for the Souvenir Program are reasonable, especially considering the “shelf life” of the publication. Even if a company is not exhibiting at the Virtual Expo, the Souvenir Program represents a unique opportunity, to present their product or service to nearly 11,000 recipients of the publication. http://outdoorhospitalityexpo.com/PDF/PressRelease09212011_E-News_to_Publish_Souvenir_Program_for_Virtual_Expo.pdf “We have been big promoters of Cabins, Park Models and Yurts for the Campground Industry”, says Art Lieberman, Producer of the Virtual Outdoor Hospitality Expo, taking place on the Internet November 10th and 11th of this year. “Last year we were successful at having several cabin and park model manufacturers as exhibitors at the Virtual Expo, and some are also returning to this year’s event, but we were unable to convince a yurt manufacturer to participate.” This is particularly ironic since both Campground Expositions and MCPS for Campgrounds are operated from a 30-foot yurt in New Berlin, PA. Lieberman and Co-producer Deanne Bower are gratified that Yurts of America, located in Indianapolis, Indiana agreed to become an Exhibitor at this year’s Expo. http://outdoorhospitalityexpo.com/PDF/PressRelease08152011_Suppliers_Can_Preview_Virtual_Expo_on_August_23rd.pdf Producers of the Virtual Outdoor Hospitality Expo will be notifying over 1,400 suppliers for the outdoor hospitality industry that they can actually view a preview of the entire convention at 2:00 PM Eastern Standard Time on Tuesday, August 23rd. The actual Expo is set for 12 noon until 6:00 PM on November 10th, continue on the 11th and then be in the “on demand” status for 60 additional days. E-mails announcing the preview webinar will be sent out to suppliers of goods and services to campgrounds, marinas, golf and ski resorts, paddleboat and canoeing resorts and even dude ranches this week. http://outdoorhospitalityexpo.com/PDF/PressRelease08152011_Suppliers_Can_Preview_Virtual_Expo_on_August_23rd.pdf “It’s entirely my fault”, admitted Art Lieberman. “I was so anxious to take advantage of the November 11th (11-11-11) date as an opening for our second Virtual Outdoor Hospitality Expo that I continued to think like the producer of a physical event, rather than the producer of an event conducted entirely on the Internet. Call it a senior moment!” http://outdoorhospitalityexpo.com/PDF/PressRelease06072011_Virtual_Expo_Shifts_Show_Date_One_Day.pdf The Virtual Outdoor Hospitality Expo, which is slated for November 11th of this year (11/11/11), has begun to receive sponsorship and booth registrations from participants in last year’s event. http://outdoorhospitalityexpo.com/PDF/PressRelease03302011.pdf “If there’s one thing we learned by producing the Virtual Outdoor Hospitality Expo last year, it’s that when using the Internet, “user friendly” is the most important element in a successful event.” http://outdoorhospitalityexpo.com/PDF/PressRelease02182011.pdf The Virtual Outdoor Hospitality Expo producers have announced the final tallies for attendance at the 2010 version of their trade show and conference, held entirely on the Internet thru Monday, January 31st. Campground attendance shattered records for physical shows at any regional or state association in the history of the industry. Two Hundred and Seventy-Nine distinctive RV Parks had representatives visit the site during the 3-day live event and the additional 90 day “on-demand” period. All in all, nearly 500 unique attendees visited the event. According to some of our more experienced vendors, some of the Expo’s attendees had never visited a national show in the industry. http://outdoorhospitalityexpo.com/PDF/PressRelease02032011.pdf As exhibitors prepare to settle into their booths and speakers prepare their presentations at ARVC Insites in Las Vegas this week, it is worthy to note that the Virtual Outdoor Hospitality Expo, which was live on November 1-3, is still active. The show, which is now in the “on demand” status, is still being attended by campgrounds and other outdoor hospitality businesses which cannot make it to the annual event being produced by the campground industry’s association. http://outdoorhospitalityexpo.com/PDF/PressRelease12102010.pdf The software from the Virtual Outdoor Hospitality Show is capable of producing some rather amazing statistic relevant to attendees. Though the Expo will run until February and approximately twenty new attendees are logging in every week, here are statistics from the opening of the event on November 1st thru noon on Saturday November 20th. http://outdoorhospitalityexpo.com/PDF/PressRelease11202010B.pdf With the Virtual Outdoor Hospitality Expo STILL RUNNING in the “on demand” status and attendees still viewing the exhibit booths and watching the recorded webinars, the producers of the Expo are seeking opinions about the show and looking forward to the next version. http://outdoorhospitalityexpo.com/PDF/PressRelease11202010A.pdf Starting next Monday, November 1st and continuing for 92 more days, the exchange of information for campground owners and the way they purchase their products and services for their facilities will change forever. http://outdoorhospitalityexpo.com/PDF/PressRelease10252010.pdf Shortly, producers of the Virtual Outdoor Hospitality Expo, slated for November 1-3 will cease the solicitation of Sponsors and Exhibitors for the show and turn their attention to attendee registration. http://outdoorhospitalityexpo.com/PDF/PressRelease09282010.pdf Last week the Virtual Outdoor Hospitality Expo, the convention being conducted on the Internet on November 1st thru 3rd, entered the “pre-show” phase. http://outdoorhospitalityexpo.com/PDF/PressRelease09212010.pdf The Producers of the Virtual Outdoor Hospitality Show are busy inputting information into the “Pre-Show” portion of the computer program which will enable exhibitors to set up their booths and for attendees to pre-register for the Expo. The show is scheduled for November 1st thru 3rd and will begin at 12 noon EST on the 1st. http://outdoorhospitalityexpo.com/PDF/PressRelease09142010.pdf “After years of producing trade shows where I wasn’t an actual exhibitor, it’s a rather unusual experience to produce one where my company will be exhibiting and my competition will also have a presence”. So says Art Lieberman, the producer of the Virtual Outdoor Hospitality Expo which will take place on the Internet November 1st thru 3rd. http://outdoorhospitalityexpo.com/PDF/PressRelease09072010.pdf The long awaited version 3.0 of the software that will run the Virtual Outdoor Hospitality Expo, slated for November 1st thru 3rd of this year, is finally complete and, on Thursday of this week, the producers, the advisory board and several invited guests will be able to see a demonstration of the actual Expo. The previous version of the software did not fully contain the many customizations and nuances that the producers had sought for the show. http://outdoorhospitalityexpo.com/PDF/PressRelease08312010.pdf “It might be purely for selfish reasons that we’ve chosen to produce a virtual show.” says Art Lieberman, whose Virtual Outdoor Hospitality Expo will be on the Internet November 1st through 3rd of this year. “We wanted a venue where our primary business, MCPS for Campgrounds, could see thousands of potential customers. A virtual show was ideal considering the economy, the hassles of travel and shipping and the time spent on preparation” http://outdoorhospitalityexpo.com/PDF/PressRelease08172010.pdf “Our show is only a ‘toe-dip’ into the ocean of the computerized virtual world”, says Art Lieberman. Lieberman is referring to the Virtual Outdoor Hospitality Expo which will run on the Internet, November 1-3 of this year. http://outdoorhospitalityexpo.com/PDF/PressRelease08102010.pdf Once again, this past week has seen more variety in the exhibitors who have signed on to the Virtual Outdoor Hospitality Expo, being held on the Internet from November 1st thru 3rd. http://outdoorhospitalityexpo.com/PDF/PressRelease08032010.pdf The Outdoor Hospitality Expo, which is an Internet virtual trade show and conference that will be conducted on November 1-3 of this year, has announced several new exhibitors that will, in the words of Producer Art Lieberman, “spice things up!” http://outdoorhospitalityexpo.com/PDF/PressRelease07212010.pdf One of the Campground Industry’s “celebrities” has become part of the Virtual Outdoor Hospitality Expo, which will run on the internet in early November. http://outdoorhospitalityexpo.com/PDF/PressRelease07142010.pdf The Virtual Outdoor Hospitality Expo Producers have announced that they will be offering to pre-register members of Associations within the Outdoor Hospitality Industry. The Expo, which will take place on November 1st - 3rd of this year, will give all members of associations the opportunity to attend the Expo by simply logging in with a User ID and Password which will be provided in advance by the Expo. Associations can utilize this service as another example of the benefits of membership. The Pre-Registration will be sent to outdoor facilities via e-mail. Promoters insist that since there is no charge to attend the Expo there is, likewise, no obligation to attend it either. Separate invitations will also be sent to Outdoor Hospitality businesses, without pre-registration. http://outdoorhospitalityexpo.com/PDF/PressRelease07072010.pdf The first Virtual Outdoor Hospitality Expo, which will take place on the Internet this November, shares some of the available statistics about trade shows held in the virtual world. http://outdoorhospitalityexpo.com/PDF/PressRelease06292010.pdf The International Virtual Outdoor Hospitality Expo, which will be held over the Internet on November 1st through 3rd, has announced that they will only sell a maximum of 80 booths. http://outdoorhospitalityexpo.com/PDF/PressRelease06222010.pdf The International Virtual Outdoor Hospitality Expo, which is slated for November 1-3 of this year, has announced a list of the participating Sponsors, Associations and Exhibitors who are participating in this year’s event. http://outdoorhospitalityexpo.com/PDF/PressRelease06072010.pdf The software program that will run the Virtual International Outdoor Hospitality Expo in November is currently being revised by Expos2, the software programmer, and Campground Expo, the Expo’s Producer. The changes being made to the program will make the event even more “user friendly” for both exhibitors and attendees. http://outdoorhospitalityexpo.com/PDF/PressRelease05122010.pdf The Virtual Outdoor Hospitality Show, which will be available to attendees from around the world on November 1-3 of this year, has become an International event. http://outdoorhospitalityexpo.com/PDF/PressRelease04282010.pdf A rather new concept in educational webinars will be introduced at the International Virtual Outdoor Hospitality Expo this Fall. The event, scheduled to be broadcast live on the Internet on November 1st to 3rd this year will hold several panel discussions called “Open Forums”. The Forums will discuss particular topics of interest to attendees with panelists with expertise in the field. One of the Forums will discuss computerized reservation services and are scheduled to feature panelists from Campground Manager, Campground Master, Campground Automation, Virtual Campground Manager and Leisure Interactive to name a few. After a brief panel discussion on the subject, the floor will be open to questions from the attendee audience. http://outdoorhospitalityexpo.com/PDF/PressRelease04142010.pdf Producers of The International Virtual Outdoor Hospitality Expo, which will be held over the Internet on November 1-3 of this year, have announced that Tom Chiardello, Internet Sales Manager for AGS has joined the Expo’s Advisory Board as the IT Director.

In just two hours, Brazeau, a marketing director at Qualys, an IT security company in Redwood Shores, California, had chatted up 25 attendees at his booth and taken contact information from at least 15 others who stopped by. And he didn't have to hop on an airplane or even leave his desk to do it. http://www.inc.com/magazine/20090501/sales-and-marketing-nice-meeting-your-avatar.html Sponsors, trade associations, and exhibitors. http://outdoorhospitalityexpo.com/PDF/ParticipantList.pdf The First International Virtual Outdoor Expo is being produced by Campground Expositions. http://outdoorhospitalityexpo.com/PDF/VirtualExpo_AboutTheProducer.pdf Why a virtual convention?
