14 December 2009 - 11:45PM
Marketwired Canada
AGORACOM, a leading online financial community focusing on the small-cap and
mid-cap markets, today announced that 17,792 investors from 77 countries
participated in the inaugural AGORACOM Online Gold & Commodities Conference,
smashing the initial goal of 5,000 investors from 50 countries. The conference,
which was open to commodities investors around the world, featured online
presentations from 28 public companies, 7 keynote speakers and 2 workshop
speakers that included online Q&A sessions.
AGORACOM Founder, George Tsiolis, stated "I am happy to say that we clearly
underestimated the pent-up demand of resource investors from around the world to
participate in an online conference, though I am not surprised. We started out
with the belief that borderless, online conferences were the logical next step
if the industry was going to reach out to new, bigger audiences and investors
have clearly responded. They want great information and convenient access
without having to travel, spend money and take valuable time away from their
lives. We now have every intention to continue delivering on that demand for
years to come."

coming in directly from the likes of Australia, Germany, Tennessee and the
Canadian Rockies, as well as, through other online investor communities such as
StockTwits.com that picked up on the conference and notified its massive
audience. Only an online conference can go viral so broadly, quickly and
unexpectedly, which is a significant advantage to traditional conferences."
