MEDIA-TECH PRESSRELEASE: CONFERENCE 2008

Joint conference format with AIMMA and IDDA

The MEDIA-TECH Association is pleased to announce its next event: The
MEDIA-TECH Conference, March 4-5, 2008 in Miami, Florida. "This will be
the only US event for 2008," says Association Managing Director, Bryan
Ekus, "as the equipment show returns to Germany in May." For all three
organizations the March timing is conducive to the decision making process
for new equipment in the year.

For the first time, the event will be a joint one, organized with partners
AIMMA (American Independent Media Manufacturers Association) and IDDA.
(International Disc Duplicating Association (IDDA). "We are delighted that
these important industry bodies, who have worked with us before, will be
more involved in this important industry event," says Ekus. The conference
will follow the proven two-day format with presentations from industry
experts, offering attendees the opportunity to keep abreast of emerging
trends and challenges in media manufacturing. There will also be a Lounge
and Table Top Showcase Area for meetings, providing the all-important
ability for attendees to network with colleagues and customers. "Our
groups have been successfully working together for several years now and
we look forward to arranging the conference together with the MEDIA-TECH
Association," says Bernhard Kirschner, IDDA President. "The US market is
an important one for our members, and this should prove to be an excellent
event."

Ray Zerrusen as president of AIMMA, adds: "With Miami as the venue, we are
certain to attract delegates from the domestic US market, both East and
West Coast, as well as many international attendees. This partnership
offers our member base a great opportunity to stay on top of the issues
surrounding media manufacturing." AIMMA will invite all members for a
member meeting during the conference.

"Feedback from our members indicates that a dedicated conference will make
the best use of their time," says Ekus. "In addition to the opportunity
for companies to discuss their products, this two-day conference format,
particularly with the input from AIMMA and IDDA, will be the best way of
helping to present new trends and technology in this ever-changing
industry."

Following the success of the MEDIA-TECH Showcase & Conference 2007 in
Barcelona, Spain, the Association will chose again a hotel for the
conference and Table Top Showcase.
