Potomac Officers Club and ExecutiveBiz Form Promotions Organization and Produce Regional Event Calendar
Event2View’s Monthly Networking Calendar and Web Site Help Manage Regional Business Executives’ Networking Schedule

Vienna, Va., (February 21, 2006) – The Potomac Officers Club (POC), Greater Washington's leading business organization for C-level executives, and ExecutiveBiz (EB) announce the production of a new Greater Washington regional business event calendar. These two premier business organizations have teamed up to develop a promotions organization producing the calendar: Event2View (E2V).

E2V, jointly created by POC, EB, Siddall Advertising and The Push Group, produces a centralized Greater Washington business event calendar and Web site comprised of the area's upcoming events. Greater Washington's business-friendly events, from business seminars to philanthropic endeavors to major league sporting events, are included in a monthly calendar that is distributed to regional C-level executives to support and organize the executive lifestyle. Founded last month, the calendar is already generating buzz, with more than 5,000 subscribers to date, and circulation is planned to grow to 20,000+ within six months.

"My co-founders and I realized there was a need within the executive community for a central repository of local events to allow the busy high-level executive to schedule his or her time for the upcoming month," said Jim Garrettson, president and co-founder of POC and ExecutiveBiz. "Our charter has always been to represent the business executive, and this all-in-one networking tool is the latest mechanism to facilitate that mission."

"E2V also creates a new type of sponsorship opportunity for leading companies tired of the old methods," said Scott Stephens, chief marketing officer and managing director of Siddall Advertising. "We believe that over the course of the year, event organizers of E2V-covered events will find attendance numbers increasing. Our product will help shape networking in the local business community and bring balance to executives' schedules."

"This attractive calendar has all the information that a socially engaged business person needs in today's environment," said Danny Taglienti, president and chief executive officer of The Push Group. "So far, the response and reception has been very positive."

Free subscriptions to the print calendar are available for a limited time to qualified individuals within the business management community. E2V's print product is mailed out every month for one year. The online component, in continued development, will feature an enhanced calendar updated regularly with interactive features. To check subscription qualification requirements and for more information, interested executives can visit www.events2view.com.

About ExecutiveBiz

ExecutiveBiz is a weekly digital magazine that covers the Greater Washington, DC business community. ExecutiveBiz was launched in 2002 as the official newsletter of the Potomac Officers Club, Greater Washington's leading business organization for C-level executives. With the dramatic cuts in corporate training budgets and need for straight talking business events, ExecutiveBiz launched an events division to provide peer-to-peer community building and "executive-only" opportunities to network.
