iMiners Gets Rave Reviews at the 2008 NIRI Annual Conference

The National Investor Relations Institute Annual Conference was held this week at the Manchester Grand Hyatt in San Diego from June 8-11. This was our first opportunity to exhibit to a national (actually international) audience of over 1,500 people. All our products were received very favorably, and we made significant progress towards finalizing joint marketing/reseller agreements, as well as signing new clients directly.

In just the last month iMiners has launched two new products: PR Cycle (http://www.prcycle.com/) and eShareholderForum (http://www.eshareholderforum.com/). We are quickly being recognized as the new innovator in IR and PR. eShareholderForum is the industry's first turnkey solution to help companies set up a company-sponsored electronic forum to facilitate direct communications between and among shareholders and management. And PR Cycle has been universally endorsed as an innovative new product to assist people with researching and drafting press releases. Our flagship products, Press Releases By Type and our eChart solution were also received very favorably by all.

Comments from people who stopped by our booth included "Simple, yet brilliant", "This is by far the best new product we've seen at NIRI 2008", and "This is the best new technology we've seen". In summary, our database of categorized news releases is unique and compelling, and the products we have developed around our growing database are relevant. We look forward to continuing our progress in 2008 in signing new clients and partnerships, and developing our unique product line! Stay tuned!

iMiners First Exhibition

This past Thursday iMiners Founder/President Jnyaneshwar Prabhu and VP of Sales Mike O'Brien attended and exhibited at the NIRI Silicon Valley Spring Seminar. Other IR service providers exhibiting included Shareholder.com, Thomson Financial, Business Wire, Marketwire, Ipreo, and PrecisionIR. It was a great event, capped off by the keynote address by Oakland As GM Billy Beane. We are looking forward to our next event: the NIRI National show in San Diego from June 8-11.

iMiners to Exhibit at NIRI Silicon Valley Spring Seminar

March 27th is the NIRI Silicon Valley Spring Seminar, where over 100 Bay Area Investor Relations Officers will gather to hear presentations on a wide variety of topics affecting investor relations. For iMiners, this will be our first public exhibition opportunity; we will have a table along with 15 or so other vendors to show our services. Other exhibitiors include giants such as Thomson Financial, Nasdaq, Business Wire, and Mellon. We should generate quite a bit of attention and curiosity; there haven't been too many new players in the IR technology services market in recent years as consolidation has swept the industry.

The agenda includes: a CFO panel discussion led by the CFOs of Cypress Semiconductor, Hewlett-Packard, and Varian, Inc.; SEC hot topics; breakout sessions on Competitive Intelligence and Best Practices in Small Cap IR; and a session on Crisis Communications. Finally, the keynote speaker is Billy Beane, GM of the Oakland Athletics.
