AGORACOM, a leading online financial community focusing on the
small-cap and mid-cap markets, today announced that 17,792
investors from 77 countries participated in the inaugural AGORACOM
Online Gold & Commodities Conference, smashing the initial goal
of 5,000 investors from 50 countries. The conference, which was
open to commodities investors around the world, featured online
presentations from 28 public companies, 7 keynote speakers and 2
workshop speakers that included online Q&A sessions.
AGORACOM Founder, George Tsiolis, stated "I am happy to say that
we clearly underestimated the pent-up demand of resource investors
from around the world to participate in an online conference,
though I am not surprised. We started out with the belief that
borderless, online conferences were the logical next step if the
industry was going to reach out to new, bigger audiences and
investors have clearly responded. They want great information and
convenient access without having to travel, spend money and take
valuable time away from their lives. We now have every intention to
continue delivering on that demand for years to come."

participants in our conference" added Tsiolis. "We were especially
pleased to see great feedback coming in directly from the likes of
Australia, Germany, Tennessee and the Canadian Rockies, as well as,
through other online investor communities such as StockTwits.com
that picked up on the conference and notified its massive audience.
Only an online conference can go viral so broadly, quickly and
unexpectedly, which is a significant advantage to traditional
conferences."

PRESENTING COMPANIES
George Tsiolis, Founder of AGORACOM, stated "Participating
companies are truly pioneers for having the vision to see that
online conferences remove all barriers to participation and bring
together investors from around the world. If they have this kind of
vision when it comes to meeting investors, investors should watch
their vision of the future of their own companies. From gold to
bauxite, grassroots exploration to full production, every investor
will find companies of great potential interest to them."
