Ipreo and StarCite Partner on Conference Registration Solution

NEW YORK, June 21, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Ipreo, the premier global provider to corporations and investment banks for workflow solutions and market intelligent products, announced today it will partner with StarCite, Inc. for a complete conference registration solution. StarCite, the global leader in web-based technology to manage corporate meetings and events, will integrate its Attendee Management solution with Ipreo's iConference and iPlanner event management applications.

Ipreo's event management suite is designed specifically for institutional investor meetings and other capital markets related marketing initiatives. It includes iPlanner, a global meeting and travel logistics planning application for deal and non-deal roadshows, and iConference, which facilitates the execution of larger, more complex investor conferences.

StarCite's Attendee Management is the most robust solution in the industry, allowing companies to easily automate the online registration process with customized event websites and attendee communications. StarCite allows companies to create brand-specific registration sites and emails, track meeting attendees and event marketing efforts, schedule and allocate individual one-on-one meetings within a larger conference, and provides complete visibility and reporting. Through this partnership, StarCite's Attendee Management will be available directly through Ipreo's event management applications, offering online registration, marketing campaign features, survey tools, and robust reporting on attendees.

"StarCite has a reputation for innovative technology and great customer service," said Jennifer Sun, Managing Director, Global Equity Capital Markets at Ipreo.
