Press Release Summary: Webcasts have provided a powerful tool to broadcast important
messages. Now, by adding social networking and user-generated content through
InXpo\'s Virtual Seminar platform, anyone can make the experience even more engaging.
Attendees will stay longer offering Seminar organizers more opportunities to reach
their target market. What\'s more, attendees get an online experience beyond what a
simple webcast can provide. With a Virtual Seminar, you can reach a broader audience
more often in a way that transcends older methods including webcasts, newsletters,
white papers or emails.

Press Release Body: CHICAGO-InXpo, the world's leading, most comprehensive virtual
event provider, today announces the launch of its Virtual Seminar platform, a
Web-based software service that transforms a stand-alone webcast or presentation
into a more robust social networking environment by offering attendees the ability
to create and view related user-generated content, engage and interact with other
attendees and speakers, and view live and archived presentations-all from the
comfort of their own home or office computers.

Using InXpo's software, seminar producers can track every online activity performed
by attendees after logging in, which helps event organizers with increased lead
generation and improved ROI. All information obtained can automatically be uploaded
to a CRM system, enabling organizers to compare and benchmark data to other events.
It also helps marketers efficiently reach new customers with messages tailored to
interests reflected during their online activities, without having to sift through
notes or business cards received during physical seminars.

"We've been doing successful, stand-alone webcasts for our association members for
many years," said Jeffry Schmitt, distance education manager, HIMSS. "By leveraging
InXpo's Virtual Seminar approach that adds social networking, user-generated content
and a full trade show metaphor where appropriate, we're able to take the logical
next step towards a richer, more valuable experience for the attendee and sponsor
alike."

"Stand-alone webcasts have provided organizations a powerful tool to broadcast
important messages to their different constituents," said InXpo CEO Malcolm Lotzof.
"However, by adding social networking and user-generated content to a traditional
webcast through our Virtual Seminar platform, we can make the experience more
engaging and last for a longer period of time, thereby making it more valuable to
the seminar host."

In addition to Virtual Seminars, InXpo offers other technology solutions, such as
Virtual Trade Shows, complete with the virtual trade show floor and booths, and
Virtual Job Fairs that enable event hosts to enrich their HR search beyond typical
boundaries.
