Networking Event of the Season -- Orange County's Largest Mixer -- Hits Five-Year Mark, Grows in Size, Interest, Impact

ORANGE COUNTY, CA, Dec 15 (MARKET WIRE) --
Considered by many as the most heralded business mixer/expo of the year, Orange
County's Largest Mixer V, returns to the OC to set the standard for all other
networking events to follow.

"Now in its 5th successful year, the Mixer has grown to represent a
powerful meeting of Orange County area chambers of commerce and local
businesses representing hundreds of industries and companies in Southern
California," said Dave Linden, producer of Orange County's Largest Mixer.
"Each year, as the event grows, I take the most pleasure out of the fact that
wehave created a forum for chambers and members of the business community to
come together for a productive evening of meeting new contacts -- that's where I
conceived these events to be and I think we have succeeded."

Scheduled for Thursday, March 13, 2008 from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., the event will
be
held at the Orange County Fair and Exposition Center, 88 Fair Drive, Costa
Mesa, CA 92626. A $20 admission fee gives attendees the opportunity to view more
than 300 exhibitors and network with thousands of local "influentials" on the
cutting edge of Orange County's business elite. In total, the 2007 event
drew more than 3000 participants.

"At Vantage Lofts, our modern loft residences with custom-home-like features
appeal to those who appreciate design and convenience," said Adam Gafke,
Sales & Marketing Executive for the company. "Because our buyers are those who
valuepersonal attention we focus on face-to-face networking to cultivate
meaningful
relationships. Having exhibited at several events, we find participating in
the Largest Mixer yields far greater results than conventional advertising. As
such, we are pleased to continue our successful partnership with the Largest
Mixer organization."

Designed to be part expo and part business social event, Orange County's
Largest
Mixer accomplishes both by providing an "open feel" on the exhibitor floor
along with conversational areas for casual one-on-one discussions with existing
contacts or building new relationships.

"This is a networking event that far surpasses all other similar events
because
the mix of exhibitors and attendees is so varied," said Stephanie Cole from the
Newport Beach Chamber of Commerce. "When people make the effort to hand out
their business card, they do so because they feel the information being offered
is
valuable, so a follow-up call is not only welcomed, it's expected."

Added Linda Martin, Vice President of Membership for the Huntington Beach
Chamber of Commerce, "I have attended the OC Mixer since the beginning and each
year I gain new prospects for membership, as well as new friends in the
business community. Also, above the social aspect, this event has put me in
contact
with other local chamber executives, and for that fact alone, the event is
invaluable."

Orange County's Largest Mixer is an annual event that brings together
localbusiness organizations and Orange County's area Chambers of Commerce for
anevening of professional networking and business outreach. An off-shoot from
the
original event -- L.A.'s Largest Mixer -- now in its 10th year, the event's
