CMP Media's Electronics Group to Produce Embedded Systems Conference At electronica 2002

CMP Media (NASDAQ: UNEWY) today announced a strategic alliance with Messe Muenchen to produce the Embedded Systems Conference Munich at electronica 2002, the world's largest electronics trade show. The conference will enhance electronica's expected attendance of 80,000 engineers and technical managers and 3,000 exhibiting companies. "We are pleased to bring together two of the world's leading electronics industry events," said Kurt Schraudy, Senior Executive, Business Unit New Technologies at Messe Muenchen. Jeff Patterson, President of CMP Media's Electronics Group added, "The combined event will deliver premier technical training for European embedded systems developers and managers and new opportunities for buyers and sellers to interact." The conference will take place at the New Munich Trade Fair Center, November 11-13, 2002 in Munich and will include a technical conference and an embedded systems exhibits pavilion showcasing the latest technologies from leading vendors.

The Embedded Systems Conference Munich will present a variety of keynotes, tutorials and technical sessions aimed at providing design engineers, engineering managers and software designers with practical ideas and solutions they can immediately apply in their work. Typical sessions will cover topics such as architecture selection and specification, software design, programming and debugging, and hardware/software integration.

In 2003 the Embedded Systems Conference Munich will be held in November in conjunction with an international trade show for embedded technology, Embedded in Munich 2003. These events will be co-located with Productronica 2003, the international trade show for electronics production. Thereafter the Embedded Systems Conference Munich and the Embedded in Munich exhibition will be held each year alternately at electronica and Productronica.
