How it worked
Four steps, described only from the wording on the 2014 home page. The application that performed them is no longer running.
- 1
Choose a scope
Events in the LEEP were categorized by day, week, month and year, so planning began by choosing the span you were filling.
- 2
Choose a criterion
Events had been segmented into 52 keyword categories. the page gives Health as its worked example: "there are over 750 Health Care related events in the LEEP Calendar for 2014".
- 3
Narrow the results
Results could be narrowed further by keyword. the page names Dental, Children and Women as example keywords, and results could also be filtered by target market or event sponsor.
- 4
Export the selection
A category, day, month or week - or the whole year - could be imported into Outlook, iCal, Thunderbird or TeamUp. the footnote prices this option at $19.95/year and excludes it from the 7-day trial.
What the subscription delivered
The eight feature sections below are reproduced from the 2014 home page under their own headings. The bracketed subscriber gate is preserved exactly as it was published.
