THE AMBERWATCH FOUNDATION ANNOUNCES PARTNERSHIP WITH ITN INTERNATIONAL

Leading Technology Company Will Offer Support for AmberWatch Mobile
through Interactive System at Top Trade Shows throughout US


ORANGE COUNTY, Calif. (March 10, 2008) – The AmberWatch Foundation (AWF) has partnered with trade show management and technology industry leader ITN International to showcase AmberWatch Mobile, a new innovative cellular GPS system keeping individuals and families safe. Through ITN International's InterACT™ system, attendees at top trade shows across the country will have the opportunity to request information about AmberWatch Mobile, the nation's first two-way universal GPS locator system, right from the trade show floor.

AmberWatch Mobile, the first cellular GPS locator system to empower the individual, is a universal system provided as a package to a current cell phone plan. The AmberWatch mobile program can be activated by an individual when in danger and provides alerts and tracking capabilities to the individual's emergency contacts. A portion of the proceeds of each AmberWatch Mobile plan is donated directly to the AmberWatch Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to educating children on how to stay safe.

ITN International's InterACT system uses specially programmed smart phones as a tool for people to engage directly with the AmberWatch Foundation during any event, from any location. Interested parties can use the InterACT smart phones to request additional information on becoming a corporate partner in the AmberWatch Mobile Initiative and to learn more about AmberWatch Mobile as a concerned parent. ITN International will provide the programmed InterACT smart phones at the ITN International exhibitor booth for The Exhibitor Show in Las Vegas and at approximately 100 other trade shows and corporate events throughout the upcoming year.

"We are thrilled about the partnership between ITN International and AmberWatch Mobile," said Keith Jarrett, Founder and Chairman of the AmberWatch Foundation. "ITN International is an industry leader in connecting people at trade shows and corporate events and AmberWatch Mobile is dedicated to the protection of individuals through technology and communication. Through the InterACT program, we hope to reach out to individuals at corporate events across the country and educate them on this new safety application."

Said Ivan Lazarev, President of ITN International, "AmberWatch Mobile is taking personal safety to a new level. Through our corporate commitment to future generations and our cutting edge InterACT system, we hope to provide individuals and corporations alike with instant information and accessibility to the AmberWatch Mobile program."

"The Exhibitor Show is proud to act as the forum for the introduction of the AmberWatch Mobile and ITN International partnership," said The Exhibitor Show organizer Carol Fojtik, Senior Vice President of Hall-Erickson, Inc. "The Exhibitor Show offers an excellent opportunity to introduce AmberWatch Mobile through the InterACT system to an audience of top corporate influencers from across the nation."

The partnership between AmberWatch Mobile and ITN International will begin at The Exhibitor Show, the leading exhibition for the tradeshow industry. The Exhibitor Show is a three day event offering education sessions and networking opportunities for thousands of managers from some of the nation's largest companies and exhibition events.
