Mediabistro Announces User Generated Content Conference & Expo, February 9-10, 2009 in San Jose

Recognizing the impact of user generated content and social networks on all businesses, Mediabistro, a division of Jupitermedia Corporation (Nasdaq: JUPM), is announcing plans to bring together the people who are building these solutions and the people who are planning to add these features to their own businesses. UGCX, User Generated Content Conference and Expo (www.ugcxevent.com), will be held February 9-10, 2009 at the San Jose Convention Center in San Jose, California. Keynote speakers to date include Bruce Livingstone, founder and CEO of iStockphoto, Jim Caparro of Creative Partners, and Michael Liefer of Swirl and author of Social Currency.

UGCX will bring together the visionaries and innovators in creating business models, content creation, platform creation, new media and brand presence for this emerging field. UGCX's conference program features five tracks that include:

SOCIAL CONTENT: social networking platforms, twitter, mobile applications, blogs, social promotion engines, crowd sourcing, widgets, venture capital, audience building and word of mouth promotions

PHOTOGRAPHY: microstock platforms, photographer case studies, business models, licensing and rights management, widgets and support services

MUSIC: social platforms, musician opportunities, branding, promotional uses, tools and software, business models, widgets, support services, and artist recruitment and management

VIDEO & FILM: video blogs, viral video, business models, support services, licensing and rights management, and widgets

MASH: new uses, video gaming, developers, business models, multi-platform widgets and other support services

The tradeshow floor will be a marketplace for UGC organizations that provide tools, technology, services and infrastructure for both the UGC buyers and UGC producers. UGCX will provide a critical element that can only be found at a tradeshow -- it will also serve as a meeting place for face-to-face business development for entrepreneurs, VCs, partnerships and recruitment.

"User generated content is a rapidly developing revolution of media created by people independently that is uploaded to a Web site, a blog or a social network. UGCX is the first tradeshow organized to bring together those who are leaders in developing this type of media with individuals and organizations that want to utilize this type of media for commercial and non-commercial purposes," stated Alan M. Meckler, Chairman and CEO of Jupitermedia Corporation. "User generated, or social content, is affecting business for all organizations. UGCX unlocks the knowledge to make all businesses and non-profits more effective using the social content revolution," added Meckler.

"The response we've been receiving from those who want to participate in the UGCX conference has been overwhelming. There is a great need to bring this industry together, to educate, to share best practices and to help all parties maximize this opportunity," stated Noreen Sullivan, UGCX Conference Chair. "We're pleased to have Bruce Livingstone, Jim Caparro and Michael Liefer already onboard as keynoters and Mashable.com as a sponsor, with other notable visionaries and organizations to join them soon."
