Sure, BILL GATES was at the Governor's Tech Summit. But now Colorado has really made the big time. COURTNEY PULITZER came to town.

For those of you who aren't in the know, Pulitzer has made a name for herself by throwing cocktail parties for the cyber set. She started in New York's Silicon Alley and has branched out to other tech cities around the country. According to an April Business Week article about her, she "puts the zing in cyber society."

"I had been hearing about how great things were in Denver for so long that I knew I wanted to go and have an event there," said Pulitzer. "I was just waiting for the right time and right sponsor to help bring it all together. After MSHOW.com sponsored a 'Cocktails with Courtney' in Austin, and since it has offices in Denver, it was a natural fit to work together."

BOB OGDON, chairman, CEO and founder of MSHOW.com, said the networking aspect of Pulitzer's events appealed to him. "Denver is at the crossroads for communications, and that is what makes it exciting for MSHOW.com to reach out, share ideas and get in touch with the Front Range 'cyber-community'."

MSHOW.com facilitates interactive conferencing via the Internet. It runs approximately 30 to 50 shows a day for clients who pay between 60 cents and $1.10 per minute per user, based upon the technology used. While there are other net conferencing companies in the market, MSHOW.com touts its ease of use and flexibility. Noted BOB BIRD, VP of marketing, "To use MSHOW.com, presenters and audience members need only a PC, a standard Internet browser or a telephone. There are no setup fees, no presentation conversion fees, no hardware or software to buy, no minimum monthly fees, no cancellation fees, no lobby fees and no minimum per show fees."

Headquartered in Highlands Ranch, MSHOW.com has 180 employees and additional offices in Austin; Chicago; and Reading: UK. Clients include CHARLES SCHWAB, CABLE AND WIRELESS, COLUMBIA/HCA, MCGRAW-HILL, KLM...
