The Online Information Hong Kong conference at the Regency Hotel boasts some of the most influential and pioneering companies in the online business.
One of the most famous and early leaders in online information was Lexis-Nexis, a company that began mainly as a source for legal information.
Lexis-Nexis now has more than 11,000 online sources covering news, market and company reports, country information as well as its legal material from all over the world. The company will take up three stands at the conference.
Reuters could almost be called the original purveyor of information over long distances. There was a time when it was perhaps the sole agent for obtaining information about events all over the world. Today, there are other organisations that compete with Reuters but it has not stood still either.
The Reuters Research Centre will be showing some of the latest services the company has to offer, including Reuters Business Briefing and Reuters Broker Research. Reuters Business Briefing is an online business information tool that draws on Reuters many years of experience.
Business Briefing contains more than 2,500 publications and news wires from around the world. The database is constantly updated.
