Conference Hound, the San Francisco-based vertical search engine and business tool for conferences, trade shows and convention attendees has released a widget that allows publishers and bloggers the ability to place industry specific conference listings on their websites.
“The release of this widget is a major step forward in distributing our global conference listings broadly across the Internet”, said Bruce Carlisle, CEO of Conference Hound. He added, “We are providing valuable content to bloggers and publishers with an easy-to-implement widget. Publishers in specific industries can use this customizable tool to display listings on their websites for topic areas they cover.”
The Conference Hound widget is simple for publishers to deploy. It is available to download for free to publishers and bloggers at http://conferencehound.com/widgets (http://conferencehound.com/widgets). Publishers and bloggers select an industry and then copy a provided embed code onto their websites. These widgets use a non-blocking JavaScript embed method that will not impact a web site’s speed or performance. The widgets are fluid and will dynamically size up to the width of any web page column to which they are added.
