Scheduled to commence on November 4, 2010, with new events occurring the first week of every month, Retail Investor Conferences will provide an interactive forum for presenting companies to meet directly with retail investors using a graphically-enhanced online platform.

Designed to replicate the look and feel of location-based investor conferences, Retail Investor Conferences unites PR Newswire's leading-edge online conferencing and investor communications capabilities with BetterInvesting's extensive retail investor audience network and MUNCmedia's sophisticated retail investor targeting.

"Targeting retail investors has recently become a high priority for many public companies as new SEC regulations have empowered individual investors with direct voting access," said Kamie Zaracki, CEO at BetterInvesting. "Retail Investor Conferences will facilitate direct dialogue between public companies and current and prospective retail investors. Of most significance, our members will benefit from two-way, real-time access to management teams from a wide array of companies month after month with each new event."

During each event, presenting companies will have the opportunity to showcase their corporate vision and investment thesis in one-hour live audio and slide webcasts that enable retail investors in attendance to listen to and observe each company's presentation and then engage the spokesperson in real time via live-chat Q&A sessions. Additionally, throughout the day, companies will be able to host follow-up Q&A sessions with interested investors in their dedicated "Virtual Trade Booth" that allows for direct, open discussions and the exchange of videos and investor materials.
