Virtual Assistants Ready for Online Convention
Are you a virtual assistant? Then you don’t want to miss the Online International Virtual Assistants Convention (OIVAC) on May 20-22, 2010.
In fact, if you are thinking about becoming a virtual assistant, you may also want to consider attending to learn more about the opportunity and make some strategic connections. And if your company offers virtual assistant services as part of your virtual office amenities packages, then think about sending your star employees to this annual conference because it could help them learn new skills that will benefit your company.
“The convention brings together VAs from around the globe and provides low-cost training and extensive networking opportunities that are second to none,” promises Sharon Williams, founder of OIVAC. “Today’s economic landscape is having a global effect and this online, interactive convention provides communication and technology training, workshops and networking opportunities that increase business growth at relatively low costs.”
What’s Driving the VA Trend?
OIVAC convention organizers point to changes in the economy and ongoing corporate and government unemployment as drivers of the blockbuster growth of the virtual assistant industry.
With the drivers in mind, this year’s convention highlights how vital it is to stay current with technology, as well as business and marketing strategies for running a highly profitable VA business.
It’s only fitting that the convention is online, considering the virtual nature of the industry. What this means is that you can attend the convention from your home office. And that means no travel costs. It also means lower registration costs because OIVAC doesn’t have to rent facilities at which to hold the meeting.
Attend the Convention from Home
And, of course, it means virtual assistants don’t have to be away from their business or their family to take advantage of the opportunity to tap into communication and technology training and networking with peers in the virtual assistant industry. Virtual assistants can visit online exhibitor halls and interact with both virtual assistant and non-virtual assistant industry vendors in VoIP and chat meeting rooms.
Virtual assistant Denise Marron is one of the thousands of administrative professionals around the world that has become a successful virtual assistant. Her take: “The industry has exploded.” Marron specializes in administrative support and social media assistance. She is one of many who are planning to attend this year’s virtual assistant conference.
You can attend three virtual assistant seminars of your choice for $79 or enroll in one of the premium packages, which include a Technology track and a Business/Marketing track. If you don’t want to miss a minute, you can pay $499 for access to the entire convention. Visit OIVAC.com for more information on this year’s convention.
