December 01 2010 - 3:30PM
Marketwired
WellTek, Inc. (OTCBB: WTKN), a global health, fitness and wellness
company, announced today that it plans to expand into the virtual
event market, specializing in the healthcare and wellness niche, by
launching a new wholly-owned company,
WellTek
Events, Inc. This next-generation virtual event platform will
serve as the foundation in allowing WellTek and other brands to
actively reach, engage and influence health and wellness conscious
consumers with new and existing brand assets, technologies,
products and services.
According to the Virtual Conference and Trade Show Market Study
2010-2015, the worldwide virtual conference and trade show market
is forecasted to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of
56% between the period of 2010 and 2015 and to generate $18.6
billion in revenues over the period 2010 - 2015. While the virtual
event market is still in its infancy, WellTek intends to launch
into the virtual event business.
WellTek Events is looking to become the industry leader in
producing and delivering powerful virtual events for the healthcare
and wellness market -- linking exhibitors, attendees, and thought
leaders together in a fully immersive and engaging virtual
environment.
Without the costs, hassles and time involved in a physical
event, participants navigate through the 3D game-like world booth
by booth via an avatar. Advances in technology allow exhibitors to
actively reach, engage and influence a highly targeted global
audience, create and customize virtual booths, communicate with
prospects via video conferencing and live chat, convert leads to
customers in real-time with the Ecommerce platform, generate
reports and analytics to tract ROI and many more features that
ultimately turn prospects into buyers and customers into raving
fans.
The integration of virtual events, social networking and social
gaming permits attendees to overcome the challenges facing the
traditional trade show market, as well as take advantage of the
benefits of social media: staying in constant contact, sharing
opinions, recommendations and links, getting answers right away and
feeling connected to the information they care most about -- all
while being entertained.
Randy Lubinsky, Chairman and CEO of WellTek, stated, "With over
40 years experience in the medical industry and interacting with
physicians, we believe we can leverage our expertise to establish
WellTek Events as the premiere company for virtual medical
conferences and wellness events."
In an effort to focus time and capital on WellTek Events, the
company has decided to rescind the acquisition of its 51% interest
in WellCity, Inc. As part of the rescission, 14,500,000 shares of
WellTek common stock will be returned to WellTek and the financial
position of both companies will return to that prior to the May 1,
2010 acquisition.
In addition, WellTek has also effectuated a 50 to 1 reverse
split as of December 2, 2010 in order to facilitate raising
additional growth capital.
