As I'm writing this, I'm halfway through Day #2 of manning our virtual booth for the GoToCollegeFairs.com virtual fair that several of you are manning booths at as well. While some might think going virtual would be MUCH easier than packing all your wares into what I like to call our giant "Mary Poppins Magic Bags of College Wonder" and herniating discs from loading/unloading said bags sometimes 3-4 times a day/3-4 days a week in order to hit every college/career fair you possibly can while traveling hundreds of miles in just a few months travel time, I'm finding this switch of format is no walk in the park (yes - I was one who thought it'd be easier...I now stand corrected). 

While many of the challenges are the same (making sure your booth is eye catching, that you have relevant/up-to-date information, plenty of "handouts" people will look at), the differences are definitely to be noted.
