America's Future - From Senator John McCain - Upcoming Live Webcast By Netbriefings & Express Interactive Solutions

Technology Provides Free Access To All Who Are Unable To Attend

St. Paul, Minnesota - October 11, 2001 - Netbriefings, a full-service webcast technology provider that specializes in secure and large-audience Internet broadcasts, and Express Interactive Solutions, a meeting-design and facilitation company, announced today that they will jointly do a live Web video broadcast of Senator John McCain's discussion "Politics for the Next Generation: A Conversation About America's Future." The event will be co-hosted by Minnesota Meeting, a prominent Twin Cities-based forum for public affairs, and the University of Minnesota's Humphrey Institute Policy Forum. Senator McCain will deliver his presentation at the Minneapolis Marriott City Center, on October 15, 2001, beginning at 12:00 noon, CDT. The Web event will be free of charge for viewers who register, on-line, in advance of the event.

Senator McCain, a leading member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, and perhaps the most respected foreign policy expert in Congress, will discuss his vision for America, today, and ways we can shape our future with a new kind of politics. Web participants will be able to see Senator McCain, send questions to him during his Q&A session, participate in instant on-line polls about the nation's future, and see immediate polling results.

The on-site event, which will be managed by Express Interactive Solutions, will be simulcast with Netbriefings' Webcasting technology, which is designed to reduce travel, meeting and conference expenses for sponsors and participants alike. Those interested in viewing Senator McCain's program can register for the free Webcast at: www.netbriefings.com and click on the John McCain registration link.

After the live Webcast event, a fully interactive archived presentation will be available at www.netbriefings.com. The archive provides access to all those who could not attend or view the live event, and demonstrates the uniqueness of Netbriefings' software, which comprises instant polling, surveying and email, as well as full synchronization of PowerPoint presentations with video and audio of presenters, during both live and archived events.

Senator McCain's program will be the second Minnesota Meetings event where the companies have collaborated to deliver Web-based simulcasts, the first being HP CEO Carly Fiorina's presentation, "Technology, Business and Our Way of Life: What's Next?" on September 26. The fully interactive archived event is available at www.netbriefings.com/event/MNMeeting/Archives/Fiorina20010926.
