SAN CARLOS, CALIFORNIA, September 18, 2000 -- ImaginOn, Inc.'s (NASDAQ: IMON) (www.imaginon.com) ImOn.comTV™ interactive Internet "television station in a box" will empower The Carmel Group next month when the leading research and conference producer utilizes the power of ImOn.comTV to produce its very first virtual conference in conjunction with its "Convergence 2000: The Five Burning Questions" technology forum.

The three-year old conference, which is being held October 2-3, 2000 at the Westin Hotel in Santa Clara, California, will feature keynote presentations by Jim Olson, President & CEO of Skystream Networks, Mitchell Kertzman, President & CEO of Liberate, Claude Leglise, Vice President & General Manager, Home Products Group, Intel, and Dr. Abe Peled, President & CEO of NDS. The event, which attracts attendees from virtually all areas of technology, will discuss issues involving multimedia, Webcasting and caching, broadband, satellite communications, digital broadcast, telephony, interactive and enhanced TV, as well as Internet appliances.

According to ImaginOn Vice President Abe Matar, ImaginOn has been selected by The Carmel Group to record up to nine hours of the seminars and keynote speaker presentations. The content will then be post-produced with ImaginOn's ImaginAuthor™ authoring tool to incorporate viewer directed video branching, content-sensitive searching, and Web link features. The finished interactive virtual conference will then be posted at www.Channel8tv.com. For low bandwidth connected parties, pre-recorded copies of a hybrid Web/ interactive CD will be available for sale from the Web site.

"It would be very difficult to produce a seminar on emerging technologies and not have it showcased with one of the biggest emerging technologies available today -- Web based interactive television," said Natalie McChesney, Conference Director, of The Carmel Group. We believe that interactive Internet television will play a major role in the future of our conference management program and ImOn.comTV provides us with a creative and cost-effective way to offer it to a worldwide audience that cannot attend all of our seminars."

According to ImaginOn's Matar, "ImOn.comTV makes the next revolution in conference management a practical, cost-effective reality today. The world’s first interactive "television station in a box," ImOn.comTV provides an ideal way for conference organizers to create a series of virtual conferences that reach a global audience of viewers. We are proud to be associated with The Carmel Group and this industry-leading seminar. A seminar that is directly focused on the companies and technologies that will lead the convergence of the millennium is the ideal seminar for ImOn.comTV."
