VSLive! and TechMentor Conferences to Co-Locate in 2008

Bringing Microsoft Developers and Network Administrators Together
SAN MATEO, Calif.--(Business Wire)--1105 Redmond Media Group Events announced plans today to co-locate
its VSLive! and TechMentor conferences in 2008; including the events
on March 30-April 3, 2008 at the Moscone Convention Center West in San
Francisco, California; and on May 19-23, 2008 at the Royal Pacific
Resort in Orlando, Florida.

Co-locating VSLive!, the leading event for developers who work
with the Visual Studio.NET tool suite, with TechMentor, the top
network training conference for Windows professionals, significantly
expands learning and networking opportunities for executives,
managers, developers, IT directors and project managers, and others
interested in hands-on, how-to technical information for developing
and administering on the Microsoft platform.

"Our conferences provide essential technical information for IT
and development professionals creating and administering the next
generation of Microsoft applications," said Tim Smith, vice president
of 1105 Redmond Media Group Events. "Having TechMentor and VSLive!
co-located at one event will give the thousands of professionals
attending the conference an opportunity to learn more about current
and future aspects of their job, as well as give exhibitors the
opportunity to reach an expanded audience of technology decision
makers."

"Co-locating two strong events together will greatly expand the
learning opportunities available for VSLive! and TechMentor conference
attendees. We find that many developers and IT pros must be proficient
across all aspects of IT," says Group President Henry Allain. "By
expanding the content and scope of the event we will be able to appeal
to a significantly larger audience and deliver more comprehensive
content under one roof."

VSLive! and TechMentor San Francisco, March 30-April 3, 2008 and
Orlando, May 18-22, 2008 are both a five-day conference and
exhibition.
