Sarasota, FL - WEVA announces that INXPO, the leading Online Expo technology innovator and environment provider for WEVA EXPO 2011 LIVE Online has introduced exciting new feature upgrades for turbo-charging attendee communication and LIVE Online participation globally, including real-time language translation.
"Instant text translation for attendee and exhibitor chats, and many other online EXPO enhancements were unveiled for WEVA on Wednesday," said WEVA chairman Roy Chapman. "Based on the extraordinary ability for real-time translation, combined with all other new features, the decision was confirmed today to move the EXPO dates to October 26-27, 2011 so that attendees and exhibitors around the globe can take full advantage of the new capabilities just released. And not just during the two LIVE-Show days, but for the full 60-day period after October 27 when WEVA EXPO 2011 will be in On-Demand Archive for access by registered attendees 24/7 worldwide." WEVA EXPO 2011 registration is open to all industry professionals, students, and those just getting started.
In addition to real-time translation in LIVE text-chats (see photo), interactive upgrades for WEVA EXPO 2011 LIVE Online will also include:
• New Facebook Social Plug-in
• New Social Message Wall for attendees to create an EXPO social stream
• Support for Google Chrome 13 and support for WMV playback
• Attendees can Like posts on the EXPO platform
• Pre-chat notification when sending private chat requests
• Ability for Exhibitors to link displays to external sites
• And more, at no additional cost
According to INXPO, integrating the new upgrade enhancements into the WEVA EXPO 2011 LIVE Online environment requires just a brief time period for implementation and online system-checks. "Real-time translation is of special importance to PUNTO/WEVA Latino members, and all attendees who want to meet and discuss new wedding and event production creativity or chat LIVE with exhibitors without the language barrier," said John Zale, WEVA’s Director of Educational Development.
"The cutting-edge upgrades bring two-way communication to EXPO attendees so they can learn from each other, grow, and take full advantage of the new connectivity for networking internationally. Many of the WEVA Creative Excellence Award Winners have historically been from outside the US, now WEVA EXPO 2011 attendees can interact with these winners and pick their brain," said Zale.
