As an independent research-based organization, Federated Press, a leader in the professional information and education market, provides leading-edge courses, conferences, periodicals and information products for senior business executives, lawyers and other professionals. Through extensive monitoring of the latest trends and developments in the areas of law, finance, business, human resources, insurance, telecommunications, financial services, securities, real estate, construction, tax, pensions and benefits, marketing, and health care, Federated Press offers several hundred events a year presented by experts and recognized leaders in their fields, complemented by comprehensive materials that provide a valuable, lasting resource. Federated Press has further pioneered the conference-to-CD concept: multimedia CD-ROMs allowing users to hear the presentations from our conferences and courses, and to view documents prepared by our expert speakers, including overheads. These CDs, each containing several hours of audio and/or video, bring thousands of fully labelled multimedia presentations to the market, indexed to allow quick retrieval of information. In addition to its courses and CD-ROMs, Federated Press releases over 40 periodicals per year, whose editorial boards are composed of distinguished contributors. Its catalogue includes 10 information services. These are widely subscribed to among the country's professional, executive and managerial ranks.
