LOS ANGELES--(Business Wire)--
InstantConference, the free, on-demand reservationless audio
conference service, was named a Finalist today in the "Best New
Products or Service" category in The 2008 American Business Awards.
InstantConference answers a need in the marketplace for a low-cost,
automated conferencing service that provides businesses just what they
need, when they need it.

Hailed as "the business world's own Oscars" (New York Post , April
27, 2005), The American Business Awards are the only national,
all-encompassing awards program honoring great performances in
business.

"We are pleased to have InstantConference recognized as a standout
in its category," said Alex Cory, CEO of parent company Global
Conference Partners. "We created Instant Conference to build a new
platform for innovative, self-managed conferencing and group
communications services that will go beyond anything available in the
industry to provide a full suite of low-cost, easy-to-use, and
effective tools for enterprises and individuals."

"ABA award entries grew more than 30% this year, so being named a
Finalist is more of an accomplishment than ever before," said Michael
Gallagher, founder and president of The Stevie Awards. "It means that
independent business executives agree that this nominee is worthy of
national recognition."

InstantConference features an enterprise-level account management
system, real-time moderator controls for conference security and
control, FREE recording, the ability to download into Outlook through
an Outlook Add-In, full access to customer service representatives,
and a competitively priced on-the-fly toll free conference service.
One of the most unique features is the ability to add and label
additional sub-accounts under one dial-in number to easily track and
manage multiple work groups. InstantConference has set the industry
standard for ease of use, convenience and value.

Stevie Award winners will be announced during the annual gala on
Thursday, June 12 at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York City. More
than 600 executives from across the U.S.A. are expected to attend. The
ceremonies will be broadcast on radio nationwide by the Business
TalkRadio Network and hosted by Liz Claman of FOX Business Network.
