ONElist Teams With seeUthere.com to Add Event
Planning to Its Existing Suite of Internet Community Services

Communities Will Experience Comprehensive Online Event Management in Addition to Resources Such as Group Calendars, File Sharing, Surveys and Message Archives

Oct. 14, 1999--ONElist (http://www.onelist.com), the leading provider of active Internet communities, today announced an exclusive partnership with seeUthere.com (http://www.seeuthere.com), the premier provider of end-to-end online event planning services, to integrate event coordination services into its growing portfolio of enhanced community offerings.

Combining ONElist's wealth of community services with seeUthere.com's event planning capabilities is an extremely synergistic fit and a big win for ONElist's more than 7 million members and 250,000 communities. Communities may decide to organize an event and meet one another in person, and groups who use seeUthere.com to plan events can now easily create a community for ongoing group interaction and discussions.

By using seeUthere.com's event coordination services, ONElist's members will be able to drastically cut down on the manual labor traditionally associated with managing events. For example, community members planning meetings and functions can use seeUthere.com's services to send out invitations, track and monitor RSVPs, manage ticket sales and disseminate event information more efficiently. Alternately, a non-profit association already using the seeUthere.com service for planning an annual meeting can use ONElist's services to create an email community around the event to discuss issues and stay in touch with attendees. Within the community, they can debate panel topics,
distribute event schedule changes and garner feedback for future gatherings.

"By combining seeUthere's superior event planning capabilities with ONElist's industry-leading community services, members have the unique ability to not only participate in active, dynamic discussion groups, but to plan events and activities within those communities as well," said Mark Fletcher, ONElist's President and CEO. "This partnership between ONElist and a leading e-service player -- seeUthere.com -- is just one in a series of partnerships which ONElist will be creating to provide the world's greatest community service available anywhere on the Internet."

"seeUthere.com is committed to helping event planners leverage the power of the Internet to create more successful events," said Joe Chen, founder and CEO of seeUthere.com. "We are excited about teaming with ONElist because of its unique ability to provide specialized community services that encourage active participation and collaboration around our users' important events, which range from corporate seminars to fundraising galas."
