Ontario, Canada - (The Hosting News) - June 7, 2007 - As web hosting industry professionals prepare for HostingCon 2007, scheduled to take place from July 23 to 25, at Chicago's Navy Pier, resource publication, Web Host Industry Review, has announced that it will sponsor a Networking Lounge.

Located in the Exhibit hall, the 30-foot by 70-foot space will provide attendees with a comfortable environment for networking during the exhibition part of the show. By providing an informal space for meeting, the Networking Lounge Sponsored by theWHIR is helping to fulfill one of the informal objectives of attending such a show -- the making of connections and forming of businesses relationships with other attendees.

Stephen Mayhew, publisher at the Web Host Industry Review remarked, ''We're very excited to be sponsoring the Networking Lounge at this year's HostingCon event. We feel that through our network of Web sites and our print magazine we provide web hosting providers with a useful and specific tool that can help their businesses, something that isn't inherently communicated by a booth at a trade show. The Networking Lounge itself is a useful business tool, and we feel that sponsoring it is a very exciting way to represent theWHIR at the show.''

The lounge will be open during exhibit floor hours, from 10:30 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday July 24 and from 10:30 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday July 25. Refreshments will be available, and WHIR staff will be on hand to interact with conference attendees.

George A. Roberts IV, President and CEO of Interjuncture and Executive Director of HostingCon added, ''We are pleased to have the Web Host Industry Review, a key media partner of HostingCon, involved in sponsoring the Networking Lounge. The lounge helps to facilitate the important networking element of the event, and we're excited to have one of the Web hosting industry's most respected publications involved in its execution.''

The July issue of the Web Host Industry Review print magazine, focused on maximizing customer relationships, will be available for free at HostingCon 2007.
