“The New Face of Gold and Metals Investing”
What makes Kitco Metals eConference so excitingly innovative? It’s the first fully interactive, large-scale virtual conference in the world. Never before have this many attendees come together to communicate in real time with speakers and exhibitors through the mediums of webcam, text, and email.
Attendees will experience many of the familiar features of physical investment conferences, including live interaction with exhibiting sponsors, and presentations by newsletter editors and featured speakers. However, this historical event will also showcase live audio video interface for participants with webcams, one-on-one web chats, private conference chats with up to four people, and a Networking Lounge where up to six participants can be visible to the entire group.
Don’t have a webcam? You can still communicate with other eConference attendees, presenters, and exhibitors through real time texting and email.
