What is Xpand Xpo: The Virtual Mac Trade Show?

We've developed and produced the Xpand Xpo as a tool to help Macintosh customers find and evaluate products, and as a medium for Macintosh vendors to help create awareness and demand for their products. Over time we hope it will become the standard solutions reference tool for the worldwide Macintosh user community.

The computer industry has spawned hundreds of trade shows and conferences. These can cost vendors more than $140,000 just to rent and operate a large booth — not to mention travel and hotel expenses. The cost of exhibiting on the CD-ROM ranges from $3,000 to $16,000.

Xpand Xpo's annual subscription fee is $35; the disk is updated twice a year.

Companies participate in Xpand Xpo by purchasing disk space rather than renting floor space at an actual show. Participants are permitted to use co-op funds, which are typically allotted for advertising and marketing promotions with distributors and retailers.

Like conventional trade shows, exhibitors can rent space in a variety of sizes and configurations. Xpand's electronic "booths" are sold in 5-Mbyte chunks. About 1 Mbyte can include Mac software demos; remaining disc space can contain product literature and QuickTime movies that describe product features. Xpand provides translation and localization of literature, product movies and advertising.
