WHO:        James Dias
            Vice President of Strategic Solutions & Alliances
            Sonic Foundry, Inc.

            Sonic Foundry, Inc. (Nasdaq:SOFO) is a leading digital
            media software solutions company. It provides
            organizations with a complete suite of applications and
            services for creating, capturing, managing, analyzing
            and streaming rich media.

WHAT:       Enterprise users are increasingly turning to Web
            presentations to effectively communicate with large
            numbers of people without the time, expense and hassles of
            travel. However, the complexity of some Web presentation
            systems requires special skills in order to take advantage
            of the streaming media technology, while preventing the
            average government or corporate communicator from fully
            embracing the possibilities it brings.

            At Government Video Technology Expo 2002, Mr. Dias will
            provide insight on how a self-service approach to
            deploying Web presentations will encourage broad user
            access and wide adoption of these streaming media
            applications. By removing the technical barriers, rich
            media Web presentations can provide enterprise users with
            an easy, convenient and affordable way to routinely
            deliver training, executive speeches, earnings reports,
            product marketing, sales, internal communications, and a
            host of other applications.
