I need to go to conferences featuring speakers/exhibitors from certain
companies. I need a database that I can search, that will tell me
where these companies are speaking/exhibiting.

So say the company is Ferrari, I need to find out where, during the
next 6-12 months, is Ferrrari exhibiting, or are Ferrrari executives
speaking.

My question is NOT where is Ferrari exhibiting/speaking.
My question IS where is there a database I can search with such queries.

I am interested in conferences OUTSIDE THE US.

Thanks.

Request for Question Clarification by pafalafa-ga on 01 Feb 2004 18:41 PST

Hello there macaonghus-ga,

The only way I can think of to approach your question is this: 
Companies who are appearing at conferences -- or the organizers of the
conferences themselves -- often put out press releases along the lines
of "Joseph Mucketymuck, VP of Front Seats at Ferrari, to speak at the
International Conference of Conference Speakers, July 3-5, 2004 in
Milan".

A search of breaking news items for the specific speakers and/or
companies of interest *may* produce some worthwhile results.  It's
possible to automate such searches so that every time a new press
release is issued that is relevant to your interests, you would be
automatically notified by email.

If you want to give it a trial run, tell me the names of two or three
individuals or companies that you're interested in tracking, and I'll
run a search and we'll see what pops up.
