Avaterra at the Discovery Expo in NY starting tomorrow.
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 5, 1999--No matter the market gyrations today, there will come a time when investors will wish they'd bought some new hot stock of the new millennium back in '99. Brokers, analysts, fund managers and sophisticated investors who hope to ride that new wave of successful shares right up onto the beach can review 60 serious hopefuls at the 10th Discovery Expo from noon to eight p.m. October 7 in the Rhinelander Gallery at the New York Hilton and Towers at Sixth Ave. and 53rd St.
Exhibitors at this Expo, being held so close to the moment of the Millennium, are additional examples of what a wired world we have entered as the century turns. Although food, medicine and even plastics are among the products being showcased at the October Expo, the majority of companies attending the event have something to do with the Internet. One firm offers online retailers a multi-currency processing of credit card and debt card transactions while another is an entertainment portal for GenX and GenY consumers. One of the software companies at the Expo has a software product which allows for multipoint video conferencing on the net. A leader in image processing computer systems, a real estate trust and several banks fill out the diverse exhibitor ranks.
Attendees, who are admitted free if they surrender their business card, will have opportunities to talk and question the chief executive officers and other executives of these growth firms.
The whole show is geared towards making the discovery and research of young energetic companies easier for the financial professional and the investor.
