Leaders and Industry Icons to Help Reinvent the American Dream in These Tough
Economic Times

Invite-only event to be held on April 3-4 at the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space
Museum in New York

NEW YORK, March 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Kairos Society, a non-profit organization,
was founded in 2007 to foster an entrepreneurial culture among college
students. Kairos is providing the opportunity for the students to bring their
innovations from dorm rooms to the center stage under the guidance and
mentorship of today's business leaders. In an age of economic and employment
uncertainty, these young entrepreneurs are taking control of their own futures
by building ventures that are likely to become the leading businesses of
tomorrow. These entrepreneurs are building socially responsible ventures that
are not only focused on doing well, but doing good.

The event's welcome addresses will be given by the 42nd President of the
United States of America, President William J. Clinton, and William Gates Sr.,
co-chairman of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, via video. Other
successful leaders who will be addressing these young college entrepreneurs
include Admiral Bill Owens, Managing Director AEA Investors & former Vice
Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff; Bill White, President Intrepid Sea, Air &
Space Museum and Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund; Scott Mednick, founder of
Legendary Pictures and Mandalay Entertainment; Ellen Kullman, CEO of DuPont;
and Naveen Jain, CEO of Intelius Inc.

Ankur Jain, founder and President of Kairos Society, a sophomore at the
Wharton School of Business, credits his father with giving him the tools to
develop the mindset of an entrepreneur.

"My father instilled in me the idea that everyone can shape their own destiny;
they can't wait for things to happen, they have to make them happen," said
Jain. "There has never been a better time to be an entrepreneur. Many of the
successful enterprises were started during tough economic times. The passion
of these young entrepreneurs with their innovative ideas can reinvent the
American dream of building a better tomorrow."

The Summit's gala event will include a dinner on the USS Intrepid aircraft
carrier. There over 1300 years of professional experience will converge with
500 of the country's most innovative students. The gala will feature several
panels and an awards ceremony, which will honor top student innovative
ventures for their achievements.

"We are extremely fortunate to live in a country where we have the freedom to
be innovative and entrepreneurial," said Ankur. "We owe this freedom to our
forefathers and the men and women who have given their lives in service to our
country. For this reason, we are honored to host this event on the USS
Intrepid, a symbol of this freedom."

The Kairos Society's advisory board is a who's who of global leadership and
includes Scott Mednick; Chris Kitze, founder of Xoom.com; Bill White,
President of the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum and Intrepid Fallen Heroes
Fund; Rajat K. Gupta, Managing Director Worldwide at McKinsey & Co.; and Bill
Owens, former U.S. Vice Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff. Along with Mednick,
Kitze and White will be speaking at the Summit.

All of the board members say they got involved with the organization because
they believe in what the Society can do to foster tomorrow's top
entrepreneurs. In the words of Bill Owens: "In this world, in which
'everything is changing', I believe the spirit of entrepreneurship,
open-minded capitalism and glowing global relations will be of the utmost
value. I think that this Society believes in that spirit, and that it will do
much to enhance these most promising students' futures. I'm proud to be a
small part of that!"

"I have been speaking to business and entrepreneur programs at colleges and
universities for many years," said Mednick. "In my interaction with these
future business leaders their thirst for knowledge and information from those
who have been on the front lines has been insatiable. In putting together the
opportunity to bring a breadth of business leaders together with these bright
minds is not only a great idea but one that will help create a vibrant
community of business leaders for years to come."

"We're proud to support an organization that has the potential to inspire and
cultivate the next generation of business owners, innovators and
entrepreneurs," said Naveen Jain, CEO and founder of Intelius. "The students
being recognized at this event demonstrate inspiring out-of-the-box thinking
and bring new methodologies to the table. In today's economy we can't rely on
what's already been done, the only way to move forward is through innovation."

Intelius and the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum are the title sponsors for
the Summit.

ABOUT THE INTREPID SEA, AIR & SPACE MUSEUM
One of the world's largest maritime museums, the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space
Museum is housed aboard the 900-foot-long ESSEX class aircraft carrier
Intrepid, which saw service during World War II, the Cold War, and the Vietnam
War. It also served as a prime recovery vessel for NASA during the Mercury
and Gemini space programs before it was retired in 1974. Four years later,
Zachary Fisher established the Intrepid Museum Foundation for the sole purpose
of "saving the Intrepid for generations to come." Listed in the National Park
Service's National Historic Landmark register, the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space
Museum was opened as a symbol of peace and education in August 1982. The
Intrepid underwent extensive renovations beginning in 2006 and returned to its
home at Pier 86 in October 2008. It has since hosted President George W. Bush
for its annual Veterans Day celebration and honored Bill and Hillary Clinton
at its annual Intrepid Gala fundraising event. The Intrepid is an event space
as well as a museum, and has served as a focal point during New York's annual
Fleet Week celebration. The Intrepid produces a wide range of public
programming, and is recognized worldwide as an historic icon that makes
history come alive for visitors through its unforgettable series of dynamic
and interactive exhibits. The Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum is proudly
supported by Bank of America. For more information, visit
