LetsGoExpo.com is not only an interesting start-up, it is a great story.

LetsGoExpo has a very unique history. Its sister company, OcuSource.com, LLC provides marketing resources to manufacturers and vendors in the low vision and blindness arena. In working closely in that industry for many years, it was clear that many individuals with disabilities were having difficulty getting to on-site trade shows. For instance, the cumulative attendance to the 4 largest trade shows in the low vision and blindness industry is approximately 10,000. Yet there are over 12 million low vision and blind individuals, and over 200,000 professionals servicing that industry. The company say the need to bring the event to the attendee rather than the attendee to the event.

The time was right for OcuSource.com to create LetsGoExpo.com as the technology could now met the need. The development team created its first virtual tradeshow in the fall of 2005. There were over 11,000 live attendees in three days, and 100,000 downloads of recorded presentations later. It was then decided to create a separate company for this unique service. As time went on clients requested variations of the virtual trade show system such as accessible elearning, and accessible onsite conference management. And LetsGoExpo.com met those needs.

The LetsGoExpo system is summarized in a video that appears on the site and they also encourage you to try the free trial they offer for all of their products.
