"Sustainability is a corporate priority for sponsors," said Terry Cecil,
ISC President and CEO. "It is critical for the sponsorship industry to commit
to sustainability. This provides a long-term healthy industry environment for
sponsors to engage. An equally important responsibility is the positive
influence and reach sponsors can have on the actions and mindset of fans
through their sponsorship of sports, music and other lifestyle passions. That
commitment will result in a better future for our industry and the world."

Cecil added, "G2Events and the ISC will leverage the latest virtual
technology for global leadership collaboration without taxing travel budgets,
time constraints and scheduling conflicts. In addition to sustainability
summits, the ISC and G2Events are developing a sponsorship virtual summit to
be held during Fall of 2010."

Mark Barounos, President of conference organizer G2Events, said, "We are
very excited to welcome the ISC as a major event supporter. The ISC Impact
Pavilion, workshop and virtual exhibits will provide a unique and valuable
education for anyone interested in or involved in sustainability."

Sustainability Virtual Summits: Smart ICT will be a telepresence and
collaborative conferencing-enabled event. The event is endorsed by the UN
Global Compact and will also include participation from other leaders in
sustainability including the World Business Council for Sustainable
Development (WBCSD), CSRwire, the Global e-Sustainability Initiative (GESI),
Cisco, Orange and Alcatel-Lucent.
