GlobalSpec.com to Co-Sponsor Sensors Expo Trade Show

Agreement between GlobalSpec.com, Sensors Magazine, and Advanstar Communications delivers marketing synergy for technical companies

Troy, NY (July 17, 2000) - GlobalSpec.com has joined Sensors Expo as a sponsor of Sensors Expo trade shows, the industry's only trade shows that focus entirely on sensors and related products. The upcoming Sensors Expo Fall event will be held September 19-21 in Cobo Convention Center, Detroit, Michigan.

Widely recognized as the Web site that allows engineers and other technical buyers to zero-in on products they need by specification, GlobalSpec.com features more than 9 million technical product specifications from 600 of the world's leading suppliers in over 230 product categories. Product specification searches are driven by the GlobalSpec.com parametric SpecSearch engine. The site also features text searchable areas including a technical resource library and new product releases. GlobalSpec.com will highlight all the benefits of their SpecSearch engine across the Sensors Expo floor via kiosks, a corporate booth, and the "SpecSearch Pavilion" where attendees can see regularly scheduled demonstrations of what SpecSearch can do for engineers.

It is rewarding to see that the 'SpecSearch Pavilion' will be such an anchor event on the Sensor Expo show floor. We are pleased that Sensors and Advanstar want to jointly communicate the value that GlobalSpec.com can bring to the component procurement process."

She added, "By teaming with the producer of Sensors Expo and the publisher of Sensors Magazine, we offer technical marketers the opportunity to leverage the synergy that comes from integrated print, web-based, data base and event advertising."

A free service to those who search with it, GlobalSpec.com is visited by hundreds of thousands of engineers and technical buyers from the world's industrial powerhouses. Because it helps to shorten the design cycle by making it easy to find suppliers, product areas, and components that will do a particular job, GlobalSpec.com has been linked to the Intranets of many Fortune 1000 companies.
