| February Association News to Feature Nevada, Utah, Minnesota, Wisconsin and North Carolina

�In 2005, we�re introducing regional advertising zones, which will allow hotels and convention bureaus to affordably reach what they consider to be their primary markets for group business,� said Timothy Schneider, publisher of Association News. �Any hotel or convention bureau that wants to increase its share of the state and regional association market should make plans now to advertise in our February issue.�

In addition to the full-color editorial coverage of Nevada, Utah, Minnesota, Wisconsin and North Carolina, the February issue of Association News will feature the semi-annual Speakers Directory and a special advertorial section, the CVB Spotlight. The February issue will also be distributed at the ASAE Great Ideas Conference in Phoenix.

The readers of Association News generate more than 59 million hotel room nights annually and use cities and hotels of all sizes for their meetings. State and regional associations are also the best source of group drive-market business. The space reservation deadline for the February issue of Association News is January 3, 2005.

Association News is published by Schneider Publishing Company, Inc., the Los Angeles-based company that also publishes SportsTravel Magazine and organizes TEAMS: Travel, Events and Management in Sports, the annual conference and trade show for the sports event industry.
