 WHAT:     Siva Kumar, co-founder and chief executive officer of TheFind will be a  
           featured panelist on the "Why Local is the New Global" panel discussion. 
           The session is designed to educate attendees on the influence of         
           consumers` local-thinking in the new world, and how even online brands   
           and companies are better served by thinking about their customer`s and   
           audience`s offline worlds.                                               
                                                                                      
 WHY:      Given the state of today's economy, consumers are taking a local-thinking 
           approach to find the best deals on local goods and services that allows  
           them to avoid driving long distances or waiting for items to arrive in   
           the mail. Plus, the emergence of mobile-phones as computer device (i.e.  
           GPS-enabled iPhones) means that the lines between online offerings and   
           real-world, on-the-go-access are beginning to blur. Online merchants must 
           develop new methods to monetize and target shoppers who intend to buy    
           locally.
