Largest Annual Gathering of Internet Leaders and Innovators to Include Event Hosted by Wix.com

    NEW YORK, NY, May 23, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- An eclectic mix of web and digital community members will attend Internet Week NY, for a week of networking events, seminars, workshops and presentations. This is the conference's third year, and an estimated 20,000 industry leaders, entrepreneurs and creative thinkers will attend a series of inspirational events - sponsored by industry greats such as Yahoo!, Pepsi, the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB), and countless others - where they'll meet each other, exchange ideas and celebrate the positive effect of online media on commerce. Start-up Wix.com is hosting one such event, dubbed "Digital Creatives", a loft party where web-industry creative-types will unite for an evening of entertainment and networking.

Thanks to Wix, a typical online consumer can now make a website that is entirely capable of building and sustaining a strong online presence. A favorite among small business owners, entrepreneurs, artists, photographers and musicians, Wix's software has burst open financial and technical barriers that once prevented the average Internet user from designing a website. The website builder uses a graphic-based drag-and-drop editorial process, for the quick and easy customization of professionally-designed web templates, or built-from-scratch websites.

Part of what makes Internet Week such an inspirational success, is the "open opportunity" of ideas and information exchange it provides; the organizations hosting events at Internet Week 2010 run the gamut from innovative start-ups to established industry giants. Wix's mission statement, to make website creation a process easy enough for anyone to do, beautifully reflects this open-doors concept. Thus the company emerges as a shining beacon of exciting economic opportunities that the web industry offers.

"Digital Creatives" will mark Wix's debut onto the vibrant New York media and entertainment scene. The event will be held the evening of Wednesday, June 9th at 7:00pm, at Wix's New York office, located at 10 West 18th Street, 7th floor. The stylish loft-party will include DJ entertainment, live demonstrations of Wix, cool company giveaways, and an inspiring mix of industry leaders and creative minds alike. Graphic designers, artists, marketing professionals, stylists, photographers, and others in creative fields are expected to take advantage of this incredible networking opportunity.

Keeping in line with the "open opportunity" theme of Internet Week and Wix.com, all who wish to attend may do so. All that is required is an RSVP through Wix's Digital Creatives flyer- which itself is an example of a free website built with Wix.

Wix is backed by investors Mangrove Capital Partners, Bessemer Venture Partners and Benchmark Capital. In addition to its New York headquarters, Wix.com has offices in Tel Aviv. The company was founded in 2006.
