PR Newswire - March 01, 1999 10:15
NEW YORK, March 1 /PRNewswire/ -- ProNetLink.com(R), (OTC Bulletin Board: PNLK) (http://www.pronetlink.com), the Webtool and Internet Directory specializing in global trade, announced today that it will broadcast the 1999 International Business Expo live over the Internet from the Javits Convention Center in New York on April 21, 1999.
The live "Netcast" will be produced in conjunction with World Trade Magazine, the producer of the IBE99 and a leader in the Import-export publishing field.
The Netcast will feature live interviews with key speakers, Government Representatives and corporate executives who will be participating in the IBE. World Trade Magazine will provide the editorial content of the netcast as well as on-air hosts. Viewers will be able to email questions to ProNetLink and have them answered live during the show by the guest speakers. The ProNetLink booth at the IBE show will be expanded to include a "WPNI, broadcast studio." The live netcast will require the same preparation and equipment as any live television event including staging, lighting, camera and audio equipment, digital encoders and ISDN uplinks.
"The IBE-netcast is just the first of many events that we hope to include as a regular part of the ProNetLink Global Business Website," said David Walker, COO of ProNetLink. "We have been working very closely with our marketing firm on this concept and they are speaking with other global trade related events that are interested in netcasting on ProNetLink."
ProNetLink sees the IBE netcast as setting the standard for the future of global Internet business. The ProNetLink IBE netcast will allow businesses from around the world to benefit from live off-site participation with businesses that will be live at the trade show. "This is exactly what ProNetLink was designed to do," continued Mr. Walker. "ProNetLink is much more than a website of links. It is a central source of interactive trade information, news, leads, resources and special events like the IBE netcast. It is truly the one site that businesses need to conduct business around the world." All live interviews and presentations will be archived on the ProNetLink site. ProNetLink plans on using the broadcast and the IBE Show to support the launch of its most advanced version, which is scheduled for delivery at the end of March.
Advertising and corporate infomercials will be available for purchase as part of the netcast. Companies interested in participating in the show should contact ProNetLink at 212-688-8838 or Stephen Flink at the World Trade Media Group by emailing stephen_flink@link.freedom.com.
