GetPlugged.com, a wholly owned subsidiary of KnowledgeLINK, enjoyed a steady stream of visitors representing the media, and consumer electronics retailers and manufacturers alike at their off-site suite during last monthís CEDIA Expo í99 in Indianapolis, Indiana. The annual CEDIA show, produced by the Custom Electronics Design & Installation Association, is the premier gathering of consumer electronics professionals from among the specialty and high-end retailing, manufacturing, and custom-installation audio-video/home-theatre worlds. Sunil Mehrotra, GetPlugged.comís founder and CEO, reported gratifying support and enthusiasm from attendees for GetPlugged.comís collaborative e-commerce model. ""At the CEDIA Expo it was important for us to meet with and speak to the key manufacturers and retailers,"" says Mehrotra, a 20-year veteran of the high-end audio/video industry, ""and we were absolutely delighted by just how many we were able to meet, or get to know better in Indianapolis.
