SECT - GTExpos Inks Deal With Knight-Ridder/Contra Costa Newspapers IRVINE, Calif., Jan 30, 2001 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Global Tech Expos, a subsidiary of Sector Communications Inc. (OTCBB:SECT) announced finalization of a media partnership with Knight-Ridder's Contra Costa Newspapers, which makes the Silicon Valley publications and parent corporation joint-venture partners in Global Tech's IT and other area recruitment events. Negotiations for the joint-venture stalled the company's earlier plans for a recruitment event in January, but all parties agreed the events would be stronger and better-attended when promoted through the full-page advertisements and other media activities of the Contra Costa Newspapers. Under the agreement, the Contra Costa Newspapers will provide full-page advertisements of the IT high-tech and other recruitment events for several weeks before each show; the venture partner will also provide display advertising at special rates for exhibitors wishing to call attention to their participation in the events and will include a series of "hotlinks" on its Web sites. Knight-Ridder will maintain a right of first refusal for future agreements under the same terms with Global Tech Expos. Global Tech Expos' next event is scheduled for March 20-21 at the San Jose Arena. Global Tech Expos also announced that Philips signed on as a sponsor of its groundbreaking event and confirmed participation of Agilent, Boeing, Cirrus Logic, Compaq, IBM, Mitsubishi, NEC Electronics, Ross Stores and others for its March exposition. Director Jeremy Schuster said, "The majority of our clients face a continuing need for the IT talent we can deliver through a well-promoted event; the continued participation of our marquee clients allows us to further develop opportunities to include smaller businesses and peripheral industries in our events on varying levels." Global Tech's John Anderson said the March event is open to companies in need of IT talent and businesses that "serve the unique lifestyles and needs of techies." The company's unique sponsorship programs include a "speaker's corner," corporate logo and scoreboard displays and other advertising promotions to boost exhibitor visibility. Global Tech Expos' recruitment events will employ high-speed videoconferencing technology made available through its venture partner, Talk Visual Corp. (OTCBB:TVCP), to enable companies to interview candidates from around the world. Global Tech forecasts more than 100 companies and thousands of prequalified applicants attending either in-person or through international videocall locations. Candidates are presently able to upload their resumes for employer consideration via its Web site at www.globaltechexpos.com; the Web site also includes information for potential exhibitors, who can download specifications and the exhibitor contract online. Talk Visual Corp., a Miami-based telecommunications firm, recently signed an exclusive agreement with Global Tech Expos to provide videocall locations from its multimillion-dollar global network, supply its TV225 Videophones, and perform a host of related telecom services including ISDN line setup, long-distance, local exchange carrier services, telecom management and desktop videoconferencing.
