Xtalks Launches New Web-Based Information Network With the Announcement of Three Interactive Web Conferences

Xtalks (xtalks.com) has launched a new web-based information network to provide business managers with insight into breaking business issues through interactive digital presentations. Starting with a web conference on Anti-Counterfeiting Drug Strategies on December 10, 2004, Xtalks launches a series of interactive web conferences including such topics as Pharmaceutical Compliance and RFID. In 2005, Xtalks will roll out a full slate of monthly and weekly conferences across a range of industry sectors and subject matter.

Toronto, Ontario (PRWEB) November 8, 2004 --- By leveraging the best of hi-speed Internet and telecom technology, Xtalks, part of the Honeycomb Worldwide Inc. Group of Companies, provides a forum for interactive communications that until now has not been accessible to a mass audience. Xtalks web conferences allow anyone with interest in a particular topic to participate in a web meeting by synchronizing their desktop computer and phone alongside industry experts to share information and generate interactive discussion on a particular issue.

It typically takes months to prepare content for a traditional conference which, in todays fast paced business environment, means the information is stale and the issues old by the time the discussion takes place," says J.P. Fozo, Group Vice President, Business Development, at the Honeycomb Worldwide Inc. Group of Companies. We have combined the in-depth nature of a traditional conference -- an ability to dig deeper into the subject matter and opportunities to pose questions and interact with experts -- with the speed and recencey of daily news. Ultimately we want to be a destination for business leaders, or anyone for that matter, to visit on a daily basis to gain insight on breaking issues," says Fozo.

Web conferencing is one of the hottest business trends today, appealing to a business world that is less willing to travel and providing budget strapped managers with the ability to gain a high level of information and insight at a much lower cost. Xtalks is very well positioned given this trend.

Xtalks offers two levels of service -- a basic" service by which participants can access web broadcasts with streaming audia at no cost and a premium" paid service that delivers enhanced options such as an interactive web chat feature, phone-in audio feature, preferred queuing for posing questions to speakers and access to a post-event archive of conference materials.

Xtalks is part of the Honeycomb Group of Companies (www.honeycombworldwide.com), an international leader in executive networking, event management, web conferencing, publishing, digital media and research with offices in North America and Europe.
