Conferenza Premium Reports To Cover Technology's Top Conferences.

Business Editors/High-Tech Writers

Conferenza, the leader in technology event intelligence, today introduced Conferenza Premium Reports (CPR), new subscription-based online newsletter for technology insiders. Written by three industry veterans, CPR will provide in-depth news, analysis, and commentary on the industry's most elite events.

"There is nothing like being at these conferences first hand," said Gary A. Bolles, Conferenza co-founder. "But our beta readers say CPR is the next best thing to being there, and a great resource even when they are. In the past four years, Conferenza has broken numerous stories, such as the demise of FreePC, the implications of online trading, and the PDA market shift toward communications. Now, Conferenza Premium Reports brings a new level of coverage to some of technology's most elite conferences."

Bolles has run or founded Interactive Week, Yahoo! Internet Life, and Network Computing. He said CPR plans to cover such respected gatherings as Agenda, Demo, Vortex, TED, PC Forum, Digital Spectrum, Pop!Tech and selected VentureWire conferences. "We promise exhaustive reports on at least 10 of the best each year," confided Bolles.

Shel Israel, an industry consultant since 1979, joins Conferenza as CPR's editor and principal writer. Israel founded SIPR, a technology PR agency, which he ran for 15 years. For 10 years prior, he was a reporter and editor for East Coast daily newspapers. Israel will share writing responsibilities with Conferenza co-founders Bolles and Dirk Spiers, a technology executive for over 20 years, who co-founded London-based Agency3, a marketing services agency, and SMI, at one time Europe's leading independent technology marketing firm. Spiers will cover events in Europe and the U.S.

CPR will provide multiple reports on each conference, starting with a pre-show producer's interview to help readers understand the objectives of each conference. During and shortly after each event, CPR will provide subscribers with in-depth reporting and commentary through the semi-skeptical eyes of CPR's seasoned team. CPR's first reports will cover IDG Executive Forums' new Digital Spectrum conference, scheduled for July 22-23. Samples from beta Conferenza Premium Reports are available at www.conferenza.com.

CPR's special introductory price for individuals is $199 a year until Labor Day. Readers may subscribe at http://www.conferenza.com/ArtDsp-cpr.asp?file=/0_CPRSignup.htm . For site license information, email [e-mail].
