VisionTree Software Helps Over 200 Conference Attendees Interact and Strategize in Real-Time

Conferences Use VisionTree Software on Wireless Handheld Devices for Group Thinking and Decision Making

SAN DIEGO — July 5, 2005 — VisionTree Software (www.visiontree.com), makers of relevant decision support systems for individuals and organizations, announced today the launch of the VisionTree Conference Platform after tremendous success at various conferences around the country.

With the VisionTree Conference Platform, more than 200 participants are able to actively and simultaneously engage in the meeting at a given time, helping organizers collect group input, spawn new ideas and provide an immediate analysis of collective group data.

Each participant is provided a Dell Axim™ Wireless Handheld loaded with the VisionTree Conference software. The software provides an opportunity for expert panelists to present information and get immediate input from participants, who were able to interact with panelists, take surveys, ask questions and provide immediate feedback through the wireless handhelds.

“In a recent conference with over 220 surgeons, we each used our own VisionTree wireless handheld device to answer questions specific to the given session. I turned on the handheld, began using it immediately and was able to submit comments which allowed us to debate in real-time with the panel” stated Kimberly Page, M.D., Department of Neurosurgery at Mercy Hospital, Redding, Calif.

The VisionTree Conference software has received very favorable ratings from conference participants with participants stating that the system and handhelds enhanced their overall meeting experience. An average of over 88% of audience participants felt that the real-time creation of graphs and question and answer sessions significantly added to the effectiveness of the conference and provided them with a better experience.

After using the VisionTree Conference Platform recently, Richard J. Barry, M.D., Spine Surgeon and Sr. Managing Partner, Valley Oak Orthopaedics in Davis, Calif. stated, “It was very comfortable to ask questions, have the audience interact with the panelists and use the PDAs to provide immediate input on the various technologies that were presented. This real-time input was immediately graphed into meaningful charts, which provided us with very important insight on new and emerging technology directions.”

The VisionTree Conference Platform can easily be integrated into small and large meetings or conferences to maximize the effectiveness and interaction of any event. “This system represents a significant breakthrough in conference productivity and quality by using the latest technology and an intuitive interface that delivers a flexible exchange of data,” said Martin Pellinat, President of Idego Methodologies, Inc. “We envision the VisionTree Conference Platform having a significant national and global impact as a system for real-time two way audience participation that benefits both attendees and hosts.”
