(New York, NY - February 25, 2003) - Jupitermedia Corporation (Nasdaq: JUPM) today announced that it has purchased a 49.9% interest in the trade show ISPCON from The Golden Group, Inc. of Golden, Colorado. ISPCON, now in its 10th year, is the largest conference and expo serving the Service Provider industry, which includes both wired and wireless Internet Service Providers, Web hosts, competitive carriers and data communications firms. The Golden Group, Inc. will continue to manage the operations of ISPCON. Jupitermedia will provide marketing, sales and other event support. The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed."We have the largest readership of Service Provider content with our numerous subject related Web sites, e-mail newsletters and ISP-Discussion Lists, so having a trade show and conference in this field was a natural business strategy for us to follow," stated Alan M. Meckler, Chairman and CEO of Jupitermedia. "This combination of a great trade show brand with great content is part of a continuing strategy for growth at Jupitermedia. We will help produce these shows twice per year in the United States as well as in Europe and in the Asia Pacific region," stated Meckler.
"Through the years, this community has thrived on constant, radical change by creating business opportunities from pioneering Internet communications services," stated Jon Price, President of The Golden Group. "With the recent FCC rulings, it has become more important than ever for Service Providers to work together and innovate their way out of these challenging times. This exciting relationship unifies the two key enablers of this collaborative dialogue between ISPs, both online and in person."
