CyberMedia and MIT's Technology Review announced that they have agreed to
launch Indian editions of the EmTech (Emerging Technologies) Conference and the
award-winning magazine Technology Review.

"We met with several excellent potential partners and went through a rigorous
selection process," said Jason Pontin, Editor-in-Chief and Publisher, Technology
Review. "It was a difficult decision, but given CyberMedia's decades of
experience in technology publishing, they were the clear choice in the end. We
look forward to a long and fruitful partnership," he added.

The launch of EmTech India is planned for early 2009. The Indian edition of
Technology Review will be introduced at the conference and then published
monthly.

This will be the first time an EmTech Conference will be held away from MIT
and outside the United States. The relationship with CyberMedia marks the fifth
deal for an international edition signed in recent years by Technology Review.

"Technological innovation remains a driver of future economic growth for
industries worldwide," pointed Kathleen Kennedy, Chief Strategy Officer,
Technology Review. "Leaders around the globe will continue to demand
authoritative information on emerging technologies and their impact. As we
continue to expand our presence into new markets, we keep this demand in mind
and strive to deliver the most relevant information on technologies that are
reaching commercializa-tion," he added.

"As India continues its stride to become a knowledge powerhouse, the impact
of emerging technologies will be felt far and wide," stated Pankaj Nath, Senior
VP, CyberMedia. "The conference will benefit not only India but also the entire
Asian corporate community. We look forward to making EmTech the premier
technology event in the entire region," he said.
