      SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 9, 2002--

      New version is more intuitive, streamlining the process of holding an electronic meeting via the
  Internet and reducing company travel and
      meeting related costs

      Meetingworks today announced the availability of Meetingworks Connect Version 6.1, the latest
  release of its industry-leading collaboration product.
      Meetingworks(R) Connect Version 6.1 streamlines the process of holding a meeting, whether
  participants are in the same room or working from a remote office. "Meetingworks Connect typically
  reduces meeting time by 50%. Because of new design enhancements, version 6.1 offers the best
  meeting and decision making tool yet. We have upgraded the brainstorming tools to better provide the
  collaboration needed in a meeting and new language support makes holding global meetings via the
  Internet even more attainable," said Neil Lamka, president of Meetingworks.

      including:

      -- Support for significantly increased text capacity, so that processes requiring long input can be
  accommodated

      -- Automation tools that make setting up and running an electronic meeting significantly easier

      -- Upgrades to the brainstorming tools that allow participants to edit and comment on items, and the
  capability to track authors by individual or group

      -- Language support in participant tools and help files (Spanish, German, Dutch and French--in
  addition to English), making international on-line meetings much easier for all participants

  desired enhancements. Release 6.1 reflects this direct customer feedback and more. Here are some
  quotes from customers:

  function/value for the price!"
