New York, NY (prHWY.com) June 18, 2010 - New York, NY June 8, 2010 -- VirtualEvents365SM, a business unit of Computer Generated Solutions, Inc. (CGS), has been selected by leading IT products distributor Tech Data® (http://new.techdata.com) to design and host an interactive virtual event community event aimed at showcasing OEM products and services. The "Tech Data Large Partner Virtual 365 Showcase" comprises a comprehensive, multi-track conference center and focused exhibit booths that will be continually available (24 x 7 x 365) to Tech Data's tens of thousands of U.S. IT reseller customers. The online event, which is expected to open soon, will also incorporate social media and discussion forums to enhance visitor interaction and collaboration.

"We look forward to working with Tech Data to produce this innovative event," noted Michael Wilding, SVP of Technology Solutions and Training at CGS. "We applaud their leadership and creativity in leveraging this technology to support their key business partners and drive demand for their products. With clear benefits for all involved, we are pleased to be a part of their continued success."

"Tech Data helps hundreds of the industry's leading manufacturers and software publishers grow their businesses by developing marketing strategies to identify, target and successfully recruit new IT reseller partners," said Tech Data Vice President, Marketing Services Katie Dumala. "One way we do that is through a comprehensive series of traditional, face-to-face partner conferences attended by thousands of IT resellers nationwide throughout the year. The virtual forum created by VirtualEvents365 is a strong complement to those events. It creates an environment that will enable us and our vendor partners to engage even more IT resellers and help them learn about the latest technologies and new business opportunities from the convenience of their home or office computer."

To produce the Tech Data partner showcase, VirtualEvents365 will combine its advanced technology and integrated professional services that will provide IT reseller attendees with an advanced, interactive online event with global reach. The platform will utilize the latest in web, social media, and collaboration technologies to deliver a unique business experience through the highest level of consistent high speed, streaming rich media available. By addressing the time, cost, and other limitations of traditional events, the Tech Data showcase is expected to result in effective demand generation for Tech Data and its partners.
