General Information
"We were very pleased with this year's Virtual PCB, including the format and the ROI. In many ways, this type of event is more valuable for us than a live trade show. Count DownStream in for the next Virtual PCB!" --
Rick Almeida, Founder and President, DownStream Technologies
This is BBG's third year exhibiting at Virtual PCB. We exhibit to keep our name in front of the customer, the prospect and the competition, and UP Media has helped us with that goal. The miracle of this program is that it allows you to identify who is at the show at any given moment and for you to contact them directly. BBG will be there again next year. --

"This year's Virtual PCB, with its record-breaking registration, was a very successful event for Altium. Our booth was easy to develop and build. The planning, training and delivery provided by UP Media Group was also outstanding. We were proud of our brand positioning and presence at this year's event. --

"More PCB industry suppliers need to tap into Virual PCB. It’s like
a
listserve on steroids! A virtual tradeshow, but it’s realtime and real
interactive!" --
Kelly Dack, IGT

thought it went great and I liked the concept a lot." --

"I think this is fantastic and really hits the mark!" --
Dave Harris, DLH & Associates
"You are way ahead of your time. This is the future of trade shows. I
predict that, over time, more and more trade shows will be like this
one. I for one will be more than happy to participate in another show
and even want to get a booth one day. I wish more vendors were
available, but over time I see that happening. Bravo Zulu (a Navy term)
for a job well done. Keep up the good work." --
Ben Bark , Owner, Procyon PCB Inc.

technology. Continue to have these shows."
