Request for Question Clarification by tar_heel_v-ga on 22 Oct 2002 15:55 PDT

I have a list of shows and conferences that I think will answer your
question, however, there are few questions I have:

Are you seeking annual shows and conferences that have not been held
yet?
What is the time frame you are looking for?
Are you looking for shows/conferences in any particular country? 
Is there any particular financial vertical (insurance, investing, etc)
that you are looking for?

David..

Thank you very much for your rating on my answer. I am glad I could be
of help.  If you would like to request that I provide information
regarding the other industries, you can create a new question and give
it a subject of something along the lines of "For tar_heel_v-ga".  I
will let you know that the two industries you are looking at (travel
and retail) are two sectors that have a wide variety of shows.  The
more specific you can be regards to what types of shows or conventions
you are looking for, the more relevant I can make the answer.

Thanks!
