SANTA BARBARA, Calif. — 8/30/2006 — Not only is the newest innovation of do-it-yourself Web events from Citrix Online, a division of Citrix Systems, Inc.

Individuals, self-employed professionals and small businesses can directly buy and immediately use GoToWebinar on the Internet and remotely conduct real-time presentations or training events for up to 1,000 attendees per session.

GoToWebinar is the web conferencing next-generation solution that makes it easy to plan, present, and profit from web-based events. “The market’s enthusiastic response to our June announcement of GoToWebinar has been very exciting and interest continues to build as companies see the value of easy, affordable do-it-yourself Web events,” said Brett Caine, general manager of Citrix Online. “Our ‘simpler is better’ approach to collaboration allows individuals, and companies of all sizes to avoid the frustration of traditional Webinar services that are costly to purchase and difficult to use. GoToWebinar is reinventing the web seminar and online event markets by enabling even a one-person business to schedule and conduct webinars from a PC quickly and easily.” “For less than the cost of monthly mobile phone service, anyone can conduct online events and reach 1,000 people at a time for an all-inclusive fixed price,” Caine added.
