SkyFORUM®
is an online (or virtual) event that brings together the satellite
industry for product demos, sessions, training and networking found at
traditional trade shows, but without the expenses and hassles of
leaving town and customers. You can come and go throughout the day
based on your schedule.
Without leaving your
desk, you can attend sessions and explore exhibits like at a
traditional trade show, including: view product demos, watch videos,
download literature, and chat with booth personnel to get answers to
your questions.
It’s easy! All you need is a
computer with a broadband connection and sound card. Registration is
simple and it is FREE. Register today at www.skyforumsbca.com.
