"It gives me great pleasure to move the Expos to our home city. Our vendors and exhibitors are very excited to experience the history and energy of Boston. We are looking forward to continued growth and success at the new convention and exposition center," said Kerry Gumas, President and Chief Executive Officer of Questex Media Group, Inc.

The economic impact the Expos will have for the City of Boston is tremendous. According to a standard industry formula by ExPact2004, spending by attendees, exhibitors and show organizers will account for more than $24 million dollars.

"We are thrilled to welcome an important technology event like AIIM & ON DEMAND. Such high profile conventions serve as evidence of what a huge success the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center has been," Mayor Menino said. "The Expos will bring revenue to our city and bring visitors to an emerging area of Boston -- the South Waterfront."

"With our high concentration of technology companies in the region, the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center is an ideal location for AIIM & ON DEMAND to host their 2007 event," said James E. Rooney, Executive Director of the Massachusetts Convention Center Authority, which owns and operates the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center. "Our state-of-the-art facility, with free wireless Internet and the latest convention-related technology infrastructure, will ensure that this major business-to-business technology conference is a success for the organizers and their attendees."

This week, Questex is wrapping up the 2006 AIIM & ON DEMAND Expos at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia. The Expos are expecting more than 20,000 attendees from 50 states and 62 countries, including 31 Fortune 50 companies and 61 Fortune 100 companies, and 450 exhibitors from across the globe. The 2006 AIIM & ON DEMAND Expos also attracted more than 80 new exhibitors. Due to the Expos' explosive growth, Questex is moving the event to the Boston Convention & Exposition Center.

Gumas added, "According to a market research study we recently conducted, tradeshows and conferences remain the most important marketing channels for business-to-business marketers. This information is consistent with what we are seeing throughout our events portfolio. The success of our flagship technology event -- AIIM & ON DEMAND -- demonstrates the critical importance of this industry in the dynamic worlds of information management and digital printing technology."
