PUBLIC OFFERINGS
This session will review the many regulatory and legislative
issues involved in the development of Internet public
offerings. In particular, how and why the regulatory bodies
of the NASD, NASDAQ and the SEC are making a
commitment to the Internet as a vehicle that serves the
investor. Proper surveillance procedures have been created and
executed to protect all parties. Internet initiatives have been
developed to bridge the market side and regulatory side of
these complex issues.

9:30 INTERNET TRADING MARKET PROJECTIONS
Internet trading is an emerging market wave that is poised for
explosive growth. More than 60 million investors have
brokerage accounts. The media reports that Internet brokerage
accounts will jump from 1.5 million today to 9.3 million by
the year 2001; Every bank will use the Internet to attract
customers and deliver services in the next five years and
electronic commerce will grow to $600 billion annually
within the next 10 years. Visionaries believe that one of the
most profound effects of these phenomena's will be to
changehow small businesses get capitalized. They predict that
small business public offerings will become routine for
nano-cap companies.
This session will present a strategic overview of the
emergence of internet capabilities that make it possible for
investors to invest in and trade nano-cap company stocks.

perform all of the necessary functions to prepare and market a
DPO and/or an Internet DPO. A case study will be shared of a

and ensure success including:
Marketing through an investor relations firm

1:00 OVERCOMING THE PITFALLS AND
CHALLENGES OF GOING PUBLIC
The advantages of "going public" appear straight forward. The
company accesses the capital it needs to expand or refine its
product. (In a purely coincidental occurrence, the current
shareholder [including investment bankers, SEC lawyers and
stock brokers] get rich.)
There are numerous challenges in conquering the process of
"going public" including:
There are problems with the lawyers, accountants
and the bankers and they are on YOUR SIDE
There are pounds of paper forms which must be
submitted to every group, not to mention the SEC.
However, an approved offering does not make a
successful offering. It still must be marketed,
either by stock brokers OR MAYBE directly over
the Internet. And not just to the U.S., but to the
entire world.
That may be the wave of the future. Direct access to
securities and their offering companies over the
Internet.
Michael J. Waddell, President
PROMARKETING, INC.
Developer of the (http://www.freemarket.org) selected by
PC Novice Guide to the Web as one of the Internet "Greatest
Sites"
2:00 IPONET: SELLING & ADVERTISING IPO'S ON THE
INTERNET: THE CREATION OF THE FIRST
PERMANENT SYNDICATE
IPOnet is currently the only site on the Internet with
clearance from the SEC to advertise and sell new security
offerings online.
IPOnet intends to have multiple Broker/Dealers listed on it's
site.
This will create the first permanent syndicate of
Broker/Dealers.
These Broker/Dealers will act as selected dealers for each
others offerings and act as underwriters of their own
offerings.
This session will examine the following topics:
Why the broker can not be eliminated from the
offerings
What really happens when an IPO is put on the
Internet
Why DPO's will never be a major threat to brokers
Why a permanent syndicate will foster the creation
of new offerings

3:30 THE IMPORTANCE OF TRADITIONAL
EXCHANGES AS A SECONDARY MARKET
Taking your company public via the Internet, rather than the
traditional exchange, has become a very viable alternative for
small business owners. However, unless the offering is
backed by a complete marketing plan, it is unlikely that the
offering will reap huge financial rewards and achieve success.
Incorporating a traditional exchange as a secondary market
into the plan can solidify, stabilize and extend the offering
beyond the Internet marketplace and create longevity and
security and financial return on your offering. This session
will explore secondary markets and how traditional
exchanges are advocating the collaborative efforts of
traditional and web offerings.
