The custom Google site search below selectively searches and links to websites for major trade shows and professional association events relevant to this niche, such as to find information about their events in a globally consistent, fast, and easy way. Google may not index all website pages of such organizations because of their design, but our market research work in this niche makes thousands of relevant pages available for quick reference in a globally consistent way.
Contact Us if you are an executive who might welcome independent referrals to relevant professionals for your global business location strategy or site selection plans, or if you are an economic development professional who would like to highlight your area or service through our work, or would be interested in hosting or sponsoring a Tour event.

We can also perform custom marketing services on behalf of an area or service provider, including assistance with existing event plans (networking events, trade show preparations, etc.) or market research and relationship development work to develop well-qualified referrals in target markets.

Suggestions for improvement to this Event Search feature are welcome.  Additional websites to search may be added selectively.  Explanation and Search Tips below.     Relevant reciprocal links are also welcome.

The Event Recall directory on www.gdi-solutions.com which selectively highlights event exhibitors, speakers, and sponsors relevant to this niche market may also be of interest.

 

USA Search      is for state economic development websites.

Area Search     is for Tour host areas and sponsor organizations

Europe Search is for national or regional investment promotion agency websites.

CRE Search      is for corporate real estate listings and service providers.

Media Search   is for economic development and other business news (this page).

Event Search    is for major trade shows or association events relevant to this niche

Local Search    opens a Google Local map search browser window for convenience

The SEARCH button above (UP in the header of this or other custom search pages) also makes it easy to find most of the content and 20,000+ links to relevant resources worldwide through the hundreds of pages which Google has indexed on www.gdi-solutions.com .  That is our more comprehensive global reference website, which now attracts visitors at a pace of 500,000 visitors per year.   Daily visits graph

 

The same tool can search this website for any content in our directories of business location Professionals, Locations (pre-visit and updated Area Profile briefings about host areas), Sponsors (such as host organizations and those who sponsor Tour events or our other services), and the Area Reports (post-Tour visit reports) and Biographic Profiles (individual professional experience).

 

Note : A search of this website may not yet find all content because Google has not yet indexed all of these new pages.  It should soon find most content on this site, however, because of the way in which these pages have been designed and refined to facilitate relevant searches for the convenience of the professionals we serve.

This custom Google site search tool is provided for convenient reference by the executives, professional advisors, and economic development organizations we serve.

Pages available to search by Google as of October 31, 2005 :

The above websites were included in the Event Search initially to demonstrate the process.

Other websites may be added in the future according to feedback from the corporate executives, professional business advisors, and sponsors we serve about what they would like to search this way, because this tool is designed for their convenience.

Note that we do not reproduce the copyrighted material of such event organizers or associations.

We just make it easier for the executives and professionals we serve to use Google's intuitive site search capabilities to quickly find whatever they may be seeking at the time in a globally consistent way, despite the inconsistent design of all such websites and their internal site search tools.

Google may not index all pages of such events or associations because of their website design choices.  For example, information which requires a registration process to access, or which requires a database search through a query form, is generally difficult to index.  It is also possible for webmasters to specify that some pages should not be indexed by search engines.  Some event organizers also create new registration websites repeatedly, or soon delete content related to sponsors, exhibitors, or attendees at past events.

The basic premise behind our GUIDE services (Globally Uniform Investment Data & Experience), such as Area Profiles, Area Surveys, Area Reports and other research, is to provide executive summary information which becomes a convenient search path to quickly discover when a potential business location may be relevant to the needs of a project.

The ability to conveniently search the websites of participating organizations complements this "high level" or "long list" exploratory search work with the ability to drill down for more details while working "on the short list" selection process.

That includes the capability to not only find basic factual data attributes about the area, such as demographic statistics or directories of available properties, but also to quickly search through apparently relevant websites for information to address specific project interests, including the recent experience of other investors in the area or business clusters.

Our Invest USA, Invest in Europe, and global Contacts directories (geographic regions and professional specialties) already make it easy to find relevant websites and follow whatever navigational structure and search options they may offer to present information about their areas or services.  These custom Search features, however, make it fast and easy to use Google's intuitive process to find whatever relevant content has been indexed.

As this website develops, it will be easy for visitors to search this website for content relevant to their interests, which will then link out to other websites for more details.

Our executive summary presentations (Surveys, Profiles, Reports and other GUIDE content) create search paths on this website as well as on www.gdi-solutions.com to find and contact potentially relevant business locations and services quickly and easily, but we have also provided the flexibility to search specific websites directly for anything.

This makes it easy to search for a "long list" of relevant business locations or services, and then drill down "on the short list" through the search tool for specific details of interest.

Related Event Recall directories by Global Direct Investment Solutions

 

Our Event Recall service is at

http://www.gdi-solutions.com/areas/events/event_recall.htm

 

This makes it easy to find which areas target particular industries or events in their marketing work, which can help executives and advisors to discover their potential relevance through the Search process, just as Area Profile or Area Survey content and other executive summary information on our websites can highlight when a business location may be a logical candidate to be "on the short list" for a project.

 

Our similar Ad Recall service selectively highlights known advertisers.  By including the text of their ads, this makes it easy to find when they may be relevant through the Search tool

http://www.gdi-solutions.com/areas/ads/ad_recall.htm

This is a new feature, and will be updated as we confirm who may participate in 2006 Tour events or our Meeting Point service to pre-schedule introductory meetings at other events.

The Meeting Point service may be helpful to economic development organizations and professional service providers (not just location consultants) which sponsor or have exhibits or hospitality events at trade shows, professional association meetings, or other events.

Meeting Point provides an efficient process to promote and pre-schedule introductory B2B meetings as a shared service at such events.  Instead of trying to arrange meetings exclusively on behalf of one organization, which can be quite costly, this can make it easier to develop introductory meetings for a selective group of participants at such events.

Tips about using these custom site search features

 

Not all pages on a website may be indexed.  This depends on a variety of website design factors and search engine processes.

 

The site search tools provided by the respective websites may be more comprehensive if they provide access to content which Google does not index, or very recent content which Google may not have crawled yet.  Since these Google results are the same as those which are available in a general Google Search of the World Wide Web - but limited to the content of a specific site - this can also be helpful to test how Google is finding results for such a site, and how the results of interest would appear to Google Search users.
