America’s only online “train show experience” event hits the rails April 17th. World’s Greatest Hobby Online will be the first virtual train show to replicate the live train show experience.
The one-day event is sponsored by the World’s Greatest Hobby program. Exhibitors and content providers will include the five primary sponsors of the World’s Greatest Hobby program.
Attendees will visit a virtual Show Floor and choose what “Virtual Booths” they want to visit. Virtual Booths will feature live video so exhibitors can communicate directly with customers to describe provide news, product demos, and answer questions.
In addition to virtual booths, there will be model railroad tours, education seminars designed for both the novice and experienced model railroader, keynote presentations from industry leaders, dealers selling items at special show only discounts and much more. Attendees will be able to pick and choose the concurrent presentations and content they want to see, on a self-directed basis, just like wondering around a physical train show.
Join thousands of model railroaders, collectors, and people curious to learn more about trains in a state-of-the-art online event. Registration will be free for the first 10,000 attendees. For more details about the event and to register visit: http://wgh.events
Manufacturers, distributors, importers, hobby shops and other model railroad companies are welcome to exhibit. If you are interested in information about exhibiting, please visit: http://wgh.events
