Introducing the New COMDEX, the Next Generation in Virtual Events

Creating a Global Connection for the Technology Sales Community

FRAMINGHAM, Massachusetts, March 4, 2010 - Everything Channel, a UBM company and the leader in technology sales
channel media and services, today announced the re-launch of COMDEX as a
virtual event. The virtual COMDEX is the only show designed exclusively for
the global technology sales channel where they can come to see product and
technology they can bring to market. Everything Channel is returning COMDEX
to its original vision as Computer Dealer Expo, an event designed exclusively
for the technology sales channel, a community that drives $424 billion or
two-thirds of technology sales in North America. (Source: Dataquest) The
virtual COMDEX will be built on a cutting-edge, globally-enabled virtual
event technology platform which will feature the city of Las Vegas and its
neon lights - but no cross town traffic, no unruly crowds and no taxi cab
lines.

The virtual event, scheduled to take place November 16-17, 2010, will
offer a unique and progressive platform for technology vendors to connect
with new business, new revenue streams and monetize new opportunities. It
will also provide a forum for the sellers of technology to visit with
technology vendors to view new products and technology roadmaps.

"The technology sales channel drives two-thirds of technology sales
worldwide," said Robert Faletra, CEO, Everything Channel. "We live in a
globally connected world and a virtual COMDEX gives us the ability to connect
this powerful market which is now untapped. When COMDEX first launched it was
positioned as a show for the technology sales channel, we are pleased to
bring it back to its initial mission."

With time constraints and an audience that cannot always travel, COMDEX
will complement Everything Channel's live events by building new
relationships and connecting existing relationships. Additionally, COMDEX
will showcase Everything Channel's extensive offerings including superior
content, media services, education, consulting, research as well as field
sales and marketing.

COMDEX's virtual environment, created by UBM Studios, a creative and
strategic marketing agency which specializes in building next-generation
virtual media business solutions, connects a global audience of technology
sellers through a robust virtual event environment with an intuitive user
interface and appealing visuals.

    - The Grand Hall of Masters will showcase the events keynote speakers.
    - The Conference Hall will offer technical, product, channel and business
      training for the sellers of technology through a wealth of content and
