PHILADELPHIA, PA, July 28, 2008 - The Exhibit Designers and Producers Association (EDPA) announced today that it has reached an agreement with Red 7 Media for the management of EDPA and the Exhibit Designers and Producers Association Foundation (EDPAF). During the month of August, EDPA and EDPAF management responsibilities will be transitioned from the Kellen Company to Red 7 Media.

With the leadership of EDPA's Board of Directors and active participation of its membership, Red 7 Media will assume responsibility for EDPA and EDPAF operations and related education, programming, member advocacy and events. "We are thrilled to be associated with Red 7 Media. EDPA's relationship with Red 7 will dramatically enhance member services and broaden our participation in the dynamic world of event marketing," said MaryBeth Gieser, President, EDPA.

Management of EDPA, the EDPA Foundation and Red 7 Media's Event Marketing Institute will fall under a newly created Membership Development Group, which will focus on creating and managing member-based businesses and organizations.

"We are very excited to assume the management of the EDPA and the EDPA Foundation," commented Red 7 Media President and CEO Kerry Smith. "This relationship fits with our strategy to expand the scope of our business beyond media by leveraging our marketing, content, media and management resources to create, grow and serve strong business communities."

As part of the agreement, Red 7 Media will provide marketing, content, interactive, sales and event management resources to help EDPA grow membership, enhance the organizations products and services, and build value for members.

EDPA and EDPAF headquarters will be relocated to the offices of Red 7 Media, 10 Norden Place, Norwalk, CT, 06855. Red 7 Media's Managing Director of Corporate Strategy Michael Westcott will serve as EDPA's interim Managing Director while company searches for a leader to run the new division.
