Skype, a globally renowned communication tool, will be shut down on May 5th, 2025. This news undoubtedly poses a huge challenge to industries that rely on it for international communication, especially the international exhibition industry. Exhibition organizers, exhibitors, and visitors have long relied on Skype for international conferences, real-time coordination, and information exchange. The discontinuation of Skype will directly affect the efficiency of exhibition preparation and the communication experience. Against this backdrop, IntBell, with its efficient international two-way calling, SMS push, and intelligent communication management functions, has become the best alternative solution for the international exhibition industry, helping the industry overcome communication barriers and ensuring the smooth holding of exhibitions.
Adverse Effects of Skype’s Shutdown on the International Exhibition Industry
The core of the international exhibition industry lies in efficient communication. Organizers need to coordinate booth arrangements with exhibitors worldwide, exhibitors need to keep in touch with customers, and visitors rely on instant messaging to get the latest exhibition news. The shutdown of Skype will bring the following challenges:
- Obstruction of International Conferences: Many exhibition organizers rely on Skype for international video conferences to discuss exhibition planning, logistics arrangements, and cooperation details. After its discontinuation, they will face the difficult problem of finding an alternative tool.
- Decrease in Real-time Communication Efficiency: Exhibitors usually conduct business negotiations with potential customers through Skype. Without a stable alternative solution, they may miss out on business opportunities.
- Difficulty in Information Push and Feedback Collection: Organizers often send important notifications through Skype, and visitors are also accustomed to consulting exhibition information through this platform. After its discontinuation, it may lead to delays in information transmission.
Facing these challenges, the exhibition industry urgently needs a stable, efficient, and international communication platform, and IntBell was born for this purpose.
