Three in one

Want to find out about trade events, make travel plans and boost your chances for employment in the process? Then log on to Trade Show Central (www.tscentral.com) and make this site your one stop for all three activities. Trade Show Central provides information on more than 50,000 trade shows, conferences and seminars throughout the world (and behold! It includes more than 15 Latin American and Caribbean countries). The site makes your life easier by listing these events by categories, dates, countries and putting you in contact with the organizers of such events. For those interested in becoming an exhibitor at one of these shows or organizing their own, the site lists over 7,000 facilities (hotels, arenas, convention centers etc.) where the events take place. Also offered in the site is a career center where users can post their resume (or have one done for them) and see postings of national and international job listings. You can also post your position for candidates to apply. A more complicated part of the site allows users to make travel plans. This includes everything from getting the plane ticket to booking the hotel.
