Press Release Body:
Bend, OR, September 8, 2008 -- EventMingle today announced it has been selected as
the official online social networking application for Interop New York and Mobile
Business Expo, produced by TechWeb, taking place September 15-19, 2008 at The Javits
Center, New York, NY.

Interop is the leading global business technology event, bringing together IT and
business leaders to see all of the latest technologies in action. This year, Interop
New York will also host Mobile Business Expo, which will feature solutions to unlock
the full potential of a mobile workforce.

EventMingle has created a custom online community for Interop New York and Mobile
Business Expo attendees, speakers and exhibitors, named InteropConnect.com located
at http://www.InteropConnect.com

EventMingle offers participants these features:

• Matching and Collaboration Tools – EventMingle will match attendees, speakers and
exhibitors based on their personal profile and goals for the event. EventMingle
promotes networking among all participants.

• The Daily Planner – Participants will create a detailed to-do list they can take
with them to the event. EventMingle becomes attendees’ personal assistant in helping
them get organized for the event.

• Internal E-mail System – Attendees, speakers and exhibitors will use EventMingle\'s
built-in e-mail system to communicate without revealing personal contact
information.

• Advanced Search Features - Participants can search for people based on location,
title and interests. Attendees also can meet other people who plan to attend a
specific conference session or booth, while exhibitors can connect with attendees
interested in specific products and services, find speakers who are covering their
products and can also identify other exhibitors who would make a good business
partner.

• Detailed Online Exhibitor Directory - Exhibitors can publish extended information,
including a searchable product directory, current news releases and scheduled booth
events. Exhibitors also can give attendees the ability to schedule appointments with
booth personnel.

• Press Center - Attendees can use the EventMingle portal to view all recent news
releases from exhibiting companies.

• Message Forums - The message forums allow people to discuss exhibitors, news
releases, products, special events, exhibitor giveaway items and job postings.

“EventMingle proved to be a valuable networking tool for the IT professionals who
attended our past events,” said Alex Dunne, Interop’s online executive producer. “We
are pleased to partner with EventMingle again this year and are very excited to
offer this networking solution to event attendees.”

“We’re very pleased to be working with the team at TechWeb again this year to create
their custom networking community for Interop New York & Mobile Business Expo.
InteropConnect.com includes our latest enhancements to our Daily Planner tools so
each participant will now be able to use our powerful calendar and task management
tools to enable them to make more appointments, see more products and network with
more people,” said Jim Harrer, co-founder of EventMingle.
