Apartment Internet Marketing Conference Acquired by Joshua Tree Internet Media

Industry’s Premiere Internet Conference Expected to Grow Under New Ownership of Steve Lefkovits

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Oct. 17 /PRNewswire/ — Realty DataTrust, the makers of VaultWare, announced today that the Apartment Internet Marketing (AIM) Conference has been sold to Steve Lefkovits’ Joshua Tree Internet Media firm. The AIM Conference, which will be held next spring, is the only industry educational conference that focuses exclusively on the intersection of marketing strategies and Internet-powered leasing tools. AIM’s focus is educating multifamily portfolio operators about tools and strategies to maximize the growth of their businesses using marketing- and leasing-related technology. Since its founding in 2005 the AIM Conference has been the leading online marketing event for the multifamily industry, educating leaders and top decision-makers on the newest developments and techniques through its interactive programs and speakers.

Mike Mueller, CEO of Realty DataTrust, said, “Selling the conference to Steve was a natural choice because we share the goals of educating the apartment industry on how to leverage the Internet. That mutual passion will ensure that the conference retains the unique qualities that have made it a stand-out event in the multifamily industry.” Realty Data Trust conceived and produced the innovative conference in its first two years as an invitation- only event for its customers and partners. Realty DataTrust continues its support of the conference as a Founding Sponsor.

Steve Lefkovits, owner of Joshua Tree Consulting and CEO of Joshua Tree Internet Media, LLC said “Since 1998, Mike and I have held a common vision of the importance of technology and the Internet to the future of the apartment business. I am delighted to be able to extend our shared view and assist the industry we love by producing this educational event for a broader pool of top decision-makers.” Joshua Tree Internet Media, LLC (a new subsidiary of Joshua Tree Consulting) will expand this event and open it to all multifamily marketing, operations and technology executives at its next meeting at the Marriott McDowell Mountain in Scottsdale, Arizona, April 23-25, 2008.
