MONEY SHOW ACQUIRES
THE FINANCIAL FORUM & WEALTH MANAGEMENT EXPO
and THE CANADIAN TECHNICAL ANALYST SUMMIT

31-Year Veteran Producer of Educational Conferences for Investors, Traders, and Financial Advisors Expands
Global Reach into Canada

SARASOTA, FL, March 26, 2009 – Money Show, the world’s leading producer of investment tradeshows and cruises, announced today that it has concluded an agreement to acquire The Financial Forum and CTAS conferences from Diversified Business Communications. The 24-yearold Financial Forum series continues to attract impressive audience levels. During 2008, Vancouver, Toronto, and Calgary attracted a combined attendance of 14,497 investors, traders, and FAs.

As a result of the acquisition, Money Show will now produce The Financial Forum events under its World Money Show brand—providing Canadian investors with face-to-face access to specific advice and recommendations from the world’s top investment and trading experts. Of several hundred speakers who appear each year, US-based speakers have recently included Steve Forbes, Dennis Gartman, Joe Battipaglia, Knight Kiplinger, Robert McTeer, William Isaac, Jim Stack, Elaine Garzarelli, and Gary Shilling. Speakers outside the US have included Victor Chu, Jim Rogers, and Marc Faber.

“Money Show is a world-class organizer of investment events—and as such, is well positioned to take over the management of The Financial Forums. Their unparalleled access to investment and trading experts will help these long standing events continue to grow and provide valuable education to investors,” said Bob MacGregor, Managing Director, Diversified Business Communications Canada.

The MoneyShow.Com connection. The company provides free access to investors worldwide, now logging on from more than 80 countries, from each show with on-site T.V. studios and cameramen that tape and upload short-segment video interviews and longer, more in-depth Webcasts of panels, keynotes, and special-topic breakout workshops onto its Web site, MoneyShow.com, the leading educational destination for investors, traders, and advisors. Live, from The World Money Shows in Canada, this will continue as investors throughout the world access most of the unique investment insights and recommendations.

“After years of growth in the U.S., Europe, and Asia, our production team, media partners, and sponsors are excited to bring the newly combined World Money Show and Financial Forum to these important markets within Canada,” said Kim Githler, President and co-founder of Money Show. “And these Canadian conferences will feature companies, perspectives, and expertise that is not
available elsewhere. This provides Canadian attendees and MoneyShow.com visitors throughout the world, with the advice they need to make more confident and well-informed investment decisions.”
