OnVantage Sponsors Free Web Seminar — ``Managing Up, Down, and Sideways: Discover Meeting Management Tools the Pros Already Use''; Co-hosted by The Meetings Group; Featuring Experts from Sepracor and OnVantage

Business Wire, June 20, 2005

What:     OnVantage, Inc. is sponsoring a free Web seminar --
          "Managing Up, Down, and Sideways: Discover Meeting
          Management Tools the Pros Already Use" -- for corporate
          meeting and travel professionals.

          Doing "more with less" is a reality most meeting executives
          have resigned themselves to. To be successful, today's
          planners have to demonstrate their value to sponsors, senior
          management, and procurement specialists in addition to
          managing their own teams and workload. While no one has a
          magic wand, some planners are using technology tools to
          improve the way they work and their relationships with key
          stakeholders.

Who:      -- Linette Kostel, Travel Manager, Sepracor

          -- Lisa Palmeri, Director of Consulting Services, OnVantage,
             Inc.

          -- Betsy Bair, Editorial Director, The Meetings Group
