The virtual event market is poised for a big leap – from nowhere to $18.6 Billion over the period 2013 – 2018, according to a new report from Market Research Media. The market is currently driven by corporate events but organizers of the traditional conferences and trade shows will not be able to ignore the virtual event technology evolution for too long.

Market Research Media has identified several exciting tends and developments in this new emerging market:

Conference and trade shows will drive market growth in the years to come, with corporate event market share slipping away.
Virtual event technology will end European domination of conference and trade show market, shifting the balance in favor of U.S. firms.
New virtual conference technology will boost niche events, otherwise doomed due to low attendence rates.

These and other market data and trends are presented in “Virtual Conference & Trade Show Market Forecast 2013-2018” by Market Research Media.

January 2012: Companies participate in trade shows to generate new sales leads. People attend conferences for content and networking. Attendance of traditional conferences and trade shows have long been a recession-prone, pandemic-flu-prone and terror-attack prone. Physical trade show is a hassle for a large corporation and a major logistics nightmare for small and medium players. At a physical convention hundreds of vendors and thousands of visitors meet in a cramped noisy space. An average visitor is bombarded with competing and conflicting marketing messages. In physical events success is always on the side of the big battalions – larger corporations with big war chests get premium advertising space, premium booth space and keynote presentation time.

Here comes emerging virtual conference & trade show market on the wave of game changing and leveraging technology.

The virtual conference and trade show market has more than doubled in a year from 2009 to 2011 and we expect a compound annual growth rate of 56% through 2018. Virtual conference technology is in its infancy today, with a few proprietary software platforms mostly targeting corporate event market.

What’s going to happen in the virtual conference & trade show market in the next years?

We’ll see explosive growth in all market segments:

Virtual Conference & Trade Show Software New License Revenue,
