VFairs is a virtual conference platform. The environment includes a visual experience similar to a live conference.

The virtual world includes a lobby for announcements and messages, auditoriums for seminars and Zoom meetings, lounges for group chats and discussions and exhibit halls where vendors/partners/clients can have virtual booths to showcase their brands via video, documents and private meetings.
