"Together we will provide leadership in the emerging 'virtual business'
space. Much like the e-business wave that helped drive enterprise adoption of
the web, virtual business is the harbinger of a new era that will transform
the internet from a collection of pages to a series of engaging
destinations," said Kate Spellman, SVP, Managing Director, UBM Studios.

The rapidly emerging virtual events and environments industry is a rare
bright spot in the economy and is expected to grow at a compounded annual
rate of 56 percent according to Market Research Media. The use of this
technology has expanded far beyond popular business webinars and social media
to include virtual tradeshows, events, digital libraries, product launches,
annual meetings, career fairs, sales meetings, training & learning centers,
focus group centers and more. The use of virtual business and event
technology not only reduces event and travel costs, but also is a proven
means to improve employee productivity by reducing travel and providing a
more educational and engaging online experience. According to American
Business Media and Forrester Research, 75 percent of business decision-makers
said they attended three or more Web-based events during the past 12 months.

"Businesses such as Cisco, Disney and AAA are increasingly adopting
virtual events and environments as a cost effective and engaging way to
extend and leverage live event and training investments," according to
Malcolm Lotzof, CEO InXpo.

In the deal, UBM Studios becomes the first global media licensee of the
InXpo Virtual Events Platform and will leverage the power of the UBM media
network, including such brands as CMP Medica, PR Newswire, EE Times Group,
UBM Global Trade, UBM International Media, UBM Live, UBM TechInsights and UBM
TechWeb to create innovative new media properties. UBM and InXpo have already
collaborated on more than 30 virtual events in 2009, with plans to exceed 100
events in 2010, including:

    - Physicians Practice LIVE Virtual Event (April 21, 2010)
    - Psychiatric Times Virtual Career Fair (April 28, 2010)
    - Virtual Event: Sustainability Now (May 12 - 13, 2010)

    - Virtual Event: Education Now (July 7 - 8, 2010)
