Press Release Summary: First enterprise-oriented conference to focus on, and
demonstrate first-hand, real sustainability solutions, enabled by Telepresence

Press Release Body: Steamboat Springs, CO: June 16, 2008 -- Sustainability Summit
'09 conference and exhibition showcase will bring together corporate visionaries,
policy makers, environmental advocacy groups and leading experts to discuss
financially viable practices and strategies that address and mitigate corporate
impact on the long-term health of the earth. A significant aspect of this
leading-edge conference, which will be held May 27 - 28, 2009, at the Santa Clara
Convention Center in California (in the heart of Silicon Valley), will be its use of
telepresence technology to facilitate interaction and participation between live
presenters and delegates from around the globe. As a result, Sustainability Summit
'09 will have access to a world-class, diverse consortium of participants who will
be able to share innovations and solutions with conference delegates in an effort to
bring about real change within the global economic community. Attendees will gain
insight into the challenges facing corporations in this era of global change, hear
from top innovators who have already made a difference, understand the tremendous
growth potential in the sustainability marketplace, and learn how to align their
businesses to take advantage of this growing trend toward eco-responsibility and
clean technology.

The organizers, Hemisphere Expo Services, invite industry leaders, researchers,
engineers, scientists, architects, economists, consultants, and policy-makers to
participate in this exciting event. Sustainability Summit '09 will include keynotes,
plenary sessions, roundtables and panel discussions and will comprise four tracks:

Carbon Reduction: trading and offsetting strategies, efficiencies, alternate energy
resources, and behavioral modification

Infrastructure and Real Estate: Smart, green, sustainable and capacity building,
