Combined Entity Will Grow Events in the Financial Industry
BEVERLY, Mass., Aug. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- pulvermedia(TM) today announced
that it has acquired Foreword Financial, a leading producer of events for
the banking and financial services industry. Since 2004, Foreword Financial
has created and managed conventions, trade shows, conferences and client
meetings for financial services professionals. The newly combined entity
will maintain the pulvermedia name, while the financial services events
will continue to use the Foreword Financial brand.
The first event planned for the combined entity will be an event
scheduled for the fall of 2007, that will feature six Foreword Financial
conferences under one roof. Five of these meetings have been successful
stand-alone events, which will now be co-located to offer a combined
exhibit floor for all attendees. These conferences are the Bank Card
Conference, Operations Conference, Bank Technology Convention, Outsourcing
Forum and the Security Forum. These meetings will maintain their separate
programming and networking functions so as to foster their traditional
community-building purposes. The 3rd annual Foreword Financial Bank Card
Conference will be held October 11-13 at the Omni Orlando Resort at
ChampionsGate.
In addition to these five existing conferences, a new conference -
called the Securities Brokerage and Asset Management Operations &
Technology Conference - will augment the agenda with its own advisory
committee, programming and networking functions. The new event will take
place in New York City.
Foreword Financial's core team will remain in tact and will continue to
focus on the financial services sector. Pulvermedia will leverage its
back-end operations, sales and marketing infrastructure to accelerate the
growth of the Foreword Financial event brand.
"We chose to become part of pulvermedia because of its infrastructure,
team and track record to grow events worldwide," said Mike ter Maat,
co-founder of Foreword Financial. "Joining forces made sense as we look to
grow our portfolio of events in the financial services sector."
"Adding Foreword Financial and their portfolio of events to pulvermedia
allows us to expand our reach into the financial services sector," said
Jason Chudnofsky, Chief Executive Officer of pulvermedia. "This move
expands our portfolio of events into a sector that, like IP Communications,
is experiencing rapid change and disruption."
