Robotics Trends and EH Publishing, Inc. announce the focus of the first virtual conference serving the robotics and intelligent systems industries.  The inaugural Robotics Summit Virtual Conference and Exposition will take place June 16, 2010 and feature an international cast of keynote and general session speakers from the robotics and intelligent systems industries.  Attendees will attend the event free of charge, with full access to the exhibit hall, keynote presentations, sessions, online networking opportunities, and prize giveaways - without travel expense or time away from their business.  The event website is http://www.robovirtualevents.com.

Robotics Trends’ Robotics Summit offers an exciting new way for the world’s leading roboticists, along with business and investment professionals, to exchange ideas and review the technology required to develop the next generation of commercial robotics systems, notes Dan Kara, President of Robotics Trends. “With the Robotics Summit Virtual Conference and Exposition, Robotics Trends is once again bringing together all players in the robotics ecosystem to address the business development and technical issues involved with the commercial application of robotics and intelligent systems technology to develop entirely new markets and product categories, open additional lines of business and enhance existing product lines.”

The Robotics Summit Virtual Conference and Exposition will offer two tracks, each of which focuses on a specific theme driving the robotics industry, “Autonomy, Navigation and Mobility Solutions” and “Business Development and Investment”.  The Autonomy, Navigation and Mobility Solutions track will cover the latest advances in autonomy theory, technology and practice.  The Business Development and Investment track will feature sessions on investment and partnership opportunities in the intelligent mobile systems and robotics technology markets.

Early-bird exhibitors and sponsors of the event include MobileRobots, Inc., Barrett Technology Inc., and Boca Bearing Inc.  Media co-sponsors include Robotics Trends and Robotics Business Review.

“Although the virtual event is a new concept to many of our vendors, we are finding that because it is such a data-rich and metrics-driven lead generation and sales development tool, the response has exceeded our expectations. Once we educate exhibitors on the potential of the technology, our conversations quickly move into exploring how best to apply it to their particular business case to generate excitement, attract new customers, and maximize their ROI within the virtual trade show platform, “ states Jim Wagner, Vice President of Events, EH Publishing, Inc.  “Delivering a cost effective online venue for a unique opportunity to showcase products and drive sales via live chat with current and prospective customers within their virtual tradeshow booth is proving to be very enticing.”
