iLinc Communications, Inc., developers of one of the most feature-rich and secure integrated Web and audio conferencing solutions available, introduced its EventPlus services at the American Society of Association Executives Annual Meeting and Exposition held in Minneapolis from August 14-17, 2004. EventPlus is a turnkey solution for organizations and associations to increase the number of meetings and conferences they hold every year by adding online Web and phone conferencing events.

iLinc's EventPlus is one of the easiest ways for organizations to produce online conferences, seminars, conventions, and workshops. With iLinc's EventPlus services, organizations can significantly reduce the logistics required to hold an event, as well as the expenses associated with travel and event management. With online conferencing, associations are able to hold more events, adding more value to their membership while increasing revenues for the association.

"No matter the size of the organization, iLinc's EventPlus services are an affordable and effective way to bring conferences, seminars, conventions, and workshops online," said Mark Yeager, vice president of marketing of iLinc Communications. "iLinc provides everything needed for a successful online event, enabling organizations like associations to communicate with their membership more often and more efficiently."

iLinc designed EventPlus to integrate its superior Web and audio conferencing products with event registration and automatic billing. The EventPlus service package includes:

Webcasting: As part of the EventPlus service, iLinc offers its innovative Web communication technology, ConferenceLinc. Using tools built into the software, presenters can view a list of audience members, get immediate feedback from the audience, text chat, share information via the Web, including PowerPoint presentations or other applications, as well as record the session for play-back at a later date.

Operator-Assisted Phone Conferencing: An iLinc EventPlus conference operator personally greets all call participants, captures caller information, places them into the call, announces the start of the call, introduces speakers or moderators, and handles Q&A sessions.

Event Registration: All EventPlus registration services, including billing, can be done online from a personalized registration Web page that matches the organization's branding. EventPlus registration includes invitations, reminders, and tracking and reporting capabilities to ensure the registration process is streamlined.

Automated Billing: The iLinc EventPlus automated billing system keeps track of the billing of attendee fees for more accurate and simplified accounting.

The iLinc EventPlus services can be tailored to provide an individual service or a complete turnkey solution. The program, backed by the "iLinc Quality One Money-Back Guarantee," guarantees organizations receive expertise in online events, quality-assurance procedures created through years of best practices, and an experienced customer care team that ensures that each event is executed efficiently and effectively.
