News of Reed sales and closings will trickle out

Reed Business Information, which has not posted any news to its own site since December 1 of last year, will most likely let others report on their transactions.

UBM International Media, the owner of the HBA Global Expo & Conference, reported today that the company will assume the management of the Spa & Resort shows from Reed Business Expositions.

Other outlets have reported that Variety is up for sale -- though, in reality, the company has made it clear that all their properties are currently on the block.
