Drake PictureTalk becomes Technology Sponsor for Al Gore's Australian Visit.


SAN RAMON, CA., September 1, 2007 - Drake PictureTalk has been confirmed as the official technology partner for An Audience with Al Gore Global Business Forum in Sydney on Friday 14th September 2007 and Melbourne on Friday 21st September 2007. Al Gore will address business about the future on energy, how business can think green and how climate change will affect a company's economic strategy for the 21st Century.


Drake PictureTalk is a breakthrough web conferencing technology that eliminates the need for business travel allowing companies to communicate and collaborate faster, easier, and more cost effectively than ever before, which means business can drastically reduce their carbon footprint while becoming more productive.


Drake PictureTalk reduces travel costs, increases productivity, reduces time-to-market, allows for rapid 'real time' visual collaboration, joint web surfing, web seminars, and provides ironclad security and exceptional scalability. In short, it allows companies to meet, train, collaborate and educate without having to leave their office.


In an age where reducing the corporate carbon footprint is paramount, Drake International believes this technology is the way of the future for business and is set to transform the conventional business meeting landscape forever. "When you consider that Aviation emissions are estimated to have about three times the climate change impact of carbon emissions alone due to chemical reactions at altitude, the development and implementation of this technology has never been more important. It offers business a cost and carbon reduction solution to the issue." - Bill Pollock Global Chairman Drake International.


Drake PictureTalk will have an exhibition stand at the Sydney and Melbourne event and will offer guests consultations on how to set up and use the technology. Guests can also calculate their carbon emissions based on business travel per year.
