GlobalAutoIndustry.com Launches GlobalAutoWebinars, New International Business ``Webinars'' for Automotive Industry Executives Worldwide

TROY, Mich.--June 12, 2006--GlobalAutoIndustry.com, the leading worldwide portal and intelligence source for the global automotive industry, today announced the launch of GlobalAutoWebinars, a new series of international business, online seminars ("webinars"). GlobalAutoWebinars will be powered by Convene, a web meeting solution, designed by partner Creative System Dynamics. GlobalAutoWebinars will have the participation of Global Experts and cover a host of business and operational solutions for automotive industry executives worldwide.
