Press Release Summary = Washington, DC & New York, NY - January 9, 2007 -
MultiLingualPros.com announces the world's premier Global Diversity Career Expo &
Multilingual Job Fair taking place from April 15 to 17, 2007 in the
Washington-Baltimore-Northern Virginia National Capital Region.
Venue: The Baltimore Convention Center, One West Pratt Street, Baltimore, Maryland
21201.

Press Release Body = According to Mohamed Ly, Founder and Executive Director of
MultiLingualPros.com and A2ZLI.com, "one only needs to take a glance at today's
workforces and marketplaces, and their diverse and ever-evolving composition to
discern the inevitable trend: the increasing and imperative need to have human
resources strategically prepared to bridge people and organizations beyond language,
cultural and international barriers. With the war for talent long gone global, if
diversity was ever on one's agenda, it now must have a specific raison d\'être to
survive criticism; beyond the right thing to do, it must directly tie to the
bottom-line for businesses in order to remain a lasting priority. The purpose of
MultiLingualPros.com is to literally translate diversity into global capability,
thus earning a tremendous competitive advantage to organizations increasingly facing
reach-out and access challenges when taking on emerging and locally diverse or
global marketplaces".

It is in this spirit that over 600 world-class employers are expected to come
together during this unprecedented Global Diversity & Multilingual Recruiting event
and take advantage of the opportunity to meet over 10,000 multilingual,
multicultural and international career-seeking professionals of all levels, from
various industries and specialties; including finance, marketing, retail,
healthcare, pharmaceutical, communication, Information technology, Engineering,
hospitality, linguistics, international relations/business, and much more. Over 330
languages will be represented - from the most commonly encountered ones, such as
Spanish, Chinese, German, French, Japanese, Arabic and sign languages, to the
hardest-to-find such as Burmese, Laotian, Khmer, Somali and more.

This unique gathering is highly anticipated by businesses, government, non-profit
and international agencies as well as multilingual and cross-culturally competent
professionals, nationwide. It is designed to simplify the challenging recruiting
process for employers to successfully engage, attract and hire top diversity and
international talent. It is also intended to unearth often unsuspected and huge
employment opportunities for job seekers capable and desirous of leveraging their
foreign language proficiency and cross-cultural competencies at work for greater
success in their careers.

"The April 2007 edition of MultiLingualPros.com Global Diversity Career Expo &
Multilingual Job Fair is the largest and most comprehensive of its kind ever
produced. This is a unique opportunity for employers who are serious about diversity
as a business strategy with real applications in the workplace and tangible ROI to
engage and acquire top-notch candidates and win the global war for talent" Said Ly.
"And in the process, it also allows over 10,000 foreign language-proficient and
cross-culturally competent job-seekers-from achieved professionals and executives to
international and local students/recent graduates in the U.S., Canada and beyond-to
meet with no less than 600 prestigious multinationals, government agencies, NGO, and
other U.S. organizations for great employment opportunities".

Global and diversity-focused employers will directly interact with career-minded

competent, and seeking to fully exploit their skills at work, in various
