PHILADELPHIA and CHIPPENHAM, England, January 22 /PRNewswire/ --

ikordo, the free online meeting planner that organizes and schedules
meetings, will be a gold sponsor at the DEMO 08 conference, to be held from
January 28th - 30th 2008 in Palm Desert, CA at the JW Marriott Resort and
Spa. DEMO is the premier launch venue for new products, technologies and
companies. As a young technology company in the Web 2.0 arena, ikordo
selected DEMO as a key venue to showcase its online scheduling service.
Delegates at the conference will have the opportunity to schedule their
onsite or follow up meetings by visiting the ikordo meeting pod in the
Sponsor Networking Lounge.

"As the collaborative workspace evolves and new and emerging technologies
make effective team collaboration more of a reality, ikordo strives to
perfect the task of scheduling meetings, which is extremely important to the
flow of productivity in a department or organization," said Jim Cook, CEO at
ikordo. "Individuals and organizations feel the pain of scheduling on a daily
basis. Shared calendars and server-based calendar and scheduling systems are
hindered by cross-organizational limits as well as the inevitable reality
that organizing a meeting is a human process. Our goal for ikordo is to make
people's lives easier by attacking the problem of scheduling from a totally
different approach that doesn't require different working behaviors," added
Jim.

Meeting organizers simply provide ikordo with details of their meeting,
together with a window of time in which the meeting must be held. ikordo then
acts like a virtual assistant by sending out email invites and by
interpreting plain English responses via natural language technology,
building up a picture of each person's availability. It then negotiates with
each attendee until a meeting time is agreed. ikordo's approach is unique in
that work habits do not have to change, and attendees are not forced to
log-in, visit a Web site or register for the service.

"We are excited about the opportunity to sponsor DEMO and to allow
attendees to get a first hand look at ikordo by trying it out at our meeting
pod," concluded Jim.

About ikordo

ikordo was conceived by IT industry entrepreneur Jim Cook. Jim recognized
that meetings are an essential part of modern business life, but that
arranging them is increasingly becoming an arduous task, sometimes taking
hours and ultimately hindering productivity.

The process of negotiation to find a time and date that fits with
everyone's schedule requires meticulous planning and, more often than not,
the power of persuasion. ikordo was developed to make scheduling and
organizing meetings simpler to allow teams to focus on productivity. ikordo
does not require software downloads or shared calendars. It uses Natural
Language technology to communicate and negotiate with attendees via email in
plain English to find a convenient time.

ikordo is owned and operated by Volutio Ltd. Volutio is a privately held
company based in Chippenham, UK and is funded by UK based investors, Eden
Ventures.
