Now in its 5th year, Expo Money SP draws tens of thousands of individual investors with one goal in mind: to learn how to reach financial independence. Presentations from well-known financial and investment specialists about personal financial planning, how to build a stocks portfolio, how to analyze stocks, joining investment clubs, how pension funds work, and more, and exhibits from over 120 companies round out this four-day event. Since its inception, Expo Money has benefited from a partnership with PR Newswire that has helped generate international, national and local media coverage, heighten awareness of the event among attendees and potential exhibitors, and increase ticket sales.

"For the first time in our history we are honoring a service company for the outstanding work they have done to help us build awareness about our events," said Robert Dannenberg, President of Expo Money SP. "We started using PR Newswire to promote our events when we first launched in 2003. Last year we had more than 18,000 people in attendance, marking a 100% increase over the first year. This year, with PR Newswire's help, we are expecting a 20% increase over 2006."

Expo Money SP relies on PR Newswire's global distribution network to target media around the world with news and information related to the numerous events they host annually in various cities around Brazil. In addition to reaching tens of thousands of international, national and local media points, PR Newswire's network also reaches millions of individuals through more than 4,000 Web sites and online databases, including Yahoo!, Google News and MSN.

"Expo Money is one of the most important investment conferences held in Brazil each year," said Helio Garcia, president, PR Newswire Brazil. "We strongly agree with Expo Money's mission to empower individuals to take control of their investments, and for our part, we play an important role by helping to ensure that public companies are able to get their news out to investors large and small, wherever they are. We are extremely honored to receive this award."
