Description

Exposition operation system based on online system

The present invention relates to an online-based expo operating system, and more specifically, by operating an expo linked to an offline expo in cyberspace, buyers can receive information about the upcoming expo and the company information that cannot participate in the expo. It is about an online-based expo management system that provides efficient and fast delivery, and provides companies with a stage for products and promotions anytime and anywhere.

In more detail, the exhibitors of the offline Expo, which is scheduled to be held in a realistic manner, preliminarily enter the Cyber Expo through the Pre expo module provided from the present invention, so that the company information and the exhibition product information can be provided to buyers or observers. Can provide.

In addition, participating Expo participants can re-enter Cyber Expo through the Post expo module and provide the displayed product information and company information without time and space limitations.

Moreover, companies that cannot participate in the offline expo due to the nature of the company or management issues can provide the company information and the product information through the Net expo module.

In general, the offline expo is planned by the host company, recruits exhibitors, rents exhibition booths, publishes the company's company information, exhibition product information, and other accompanying events and seminars in pamphlet form, sending them DM or broadcasting media. Promote through.

However, offline expo has a number of problems.

First of all, in terms of economics, the booth to rent is usually more than 2 million won in the case of COEX, and installation costs in addition to the cost of renting the booth. Therefore, small and medium-sized companies and individuals do not even participate in the offline expo. Moreover, due to the nature of the company, even non-traditional manufacturers are not given the opportunity to participate in the offline expo.

In addition, the number of booths to be rented is limited, making it difficult to select an entry opportunity at an appropriate time point, and various restrictions are imposed on the exhibition at the booth depending on the circumstances of the exhibition hall.

Another object of the present invention is to provide an online expo operating system that can be experienced in advance in the offline expo that is to be held on-line in advance, through which information related to the offline expo can be obtained in advance.

Still another object of the present invention is to provide an online expo operating system that enables a user to easily surf the expo by building an online exhibition environment similar to the exhibition environment of an offline expo.

Specific configurations for implementing the object of the present invention will be described in detail below.
