September 22, 2009 - Changes in the economy, coupled with statistics on rising corporate and government unemployment, have indirectly assisted in the phenomenal growth of an up-and-coming industry--Virtual Assisting. Virtual Assistants (VAs) are highly-skilled entrepreneurs. As a member of this virtual industry phenomenon, Margie Gibson of MG Virtual Office Solutions, will serve as a moderator for this year’s October 1-3, 4th Annual Online International Virtual Assistants Convention (OIVAC); specifically designed to enhance the ability of attendees to increase business and combat economic obstacles.
As attendees participate from the comfort of their homes, via their Internet-connected computers, they forego travel/airport hassles, airfare costs, hotel bills, the high cost of registration fees and even the fatigue traditionally associated with Conventions. More importantly, they access communication and technology training and are able to network with their peers, without leaving family and business.
“The Convention brings together VAs from around the globe and provides low cost training and extensive networking opportunities that are second to none,” says Sharon Williams, OIVAC founder. “Today’s down-turned economy 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.” Visitors can also frequent online exhibitor halls and spend time interacting with VA and non-VA industry vendors in VoIP and text-compatible meeting rooms.” Connecting to the Convention and like-minded administrative professionals is as easy as plugging in a headset, a microphone and an Internet accessible computer.
“The industry has exploded,” says Gibson whose company specializes in providing real solutions for businesses by offering quality and cost-effective administrative services in order for them to focus on growing their business and increasing their productivity and profits. Gibson originally conceived the idea for her business in October 2008 starting her business in order to provide a platform for creating employment for stay at home moms, and other administrative experts looking for a lifestyle change.
Since 1996, thousands of administrative professionals around the world have taken the necessary steps to become highly successful VAs. This year’s Convention focuses on the importance of keeping current with technology and communication in an extremely lucrative VA business.
