10.21.2009 — CE Pro, the editorial leader in the custom electronics market, today announced the launch of CE Pro Virtual Trade Shows in 2010.

The CE Pro Virtual Trade Shows will take place on May 11-13, 2010 and October 12-14, 2010. This new virtual event format will offer the custom electronics industry a fresh, new experience.

CE Pro Virtual Trade Shows will offer custom installation professionals and retailers:

• Keynote presentations from industry leaders
• Strong conference content
• Virtual trade show booths
• Appointment making
• Chat, video and audio presentations, and much more

For manufacturers and service providers, the event will offer an efficient tool to showcase their products and services to the CE Pro community.

"CE Pro is continually investing in new formats for delivering our high-quality content to 208,799* readers every month," says Jason Knott, editor-in-chief of CE Pro. "CE Pro Virtual Trade Shows will be an exciting new resource at the heart of the CE Pro community and we expect over 7,000 registrants from all over the world to attend each of the Virtual Trade Shows."

"The tremendous traffic on our Web site is what enables us to be able to bring virtual trade shows to the industry. CEPro.com has become the 'go-to site' for the entire custom electronics industry worldwide for news, products and peer-to-peer networking," says Knott. "We seemingly set new traffic records every month on the Web site, drawing almost 1 million page views per month."

"We're confident both attendees and exhibitors alike will benefit from a new level of productivity through our virtual event offering," says Ken Moyes, president of EH Publishing, the company behind CE Pro. "Virtual events do not replace everything that a face-to-face event delivers, but they do allow for quality interaction with new and existing customers.

"By offering this new resource, CE Pro again demonstrates our commitment to solutions that offer high-impact interactions between integrators and exhibitors."
