Come along with IA on the 23rd for an enlightening day as you experience first hand Mark Publicovers own techniques for success. Mark will talk about building JumpSport, Inc. from his original concept to today’s company of successful products. You may want to visit Mark's web site at http//www.jumpsport.com then arrive at the meeting prepared for an education in innovation.

Mark Publicover is a fourth-generation inventor and entrepreneur. His early business
experience included founding American Builders & Craftsman Inc., a successful
professional homebuilding and commercial construction firm. As an innovator,
Publicover has numerous pending patents ranging from low tech consumer products to
high tech distribution and E-commerce systems.

After seeing his own children and friends fall off trampolines, Publicover invented a
safety enclosure system that easily installs on nearly all round, backyard
trampolines. Perceiving a larger need for this product, he investigated the backyard
trampoline market and was astounded to discover that over 500,000 new trampolines
are sold to homeowners in the U.S. each year, adding to the nearly 3 million already
in use. Further research showed that each year there are nearly 100,000
trampoline-related injuries, and that 60% to 80% of them could be prevented by the
use of safety enclosures.

In February 1997 Publicover founded JumpSport, Inc., to develop and market the
JumpCourt™ trampoline and safety enclosure along with a line of fitness and game
accessories. Publicover's products quickly captured the attention of major retailers
and the industry. The JumpCourt™ enclosure was voted among the top five sporting
goods products for 1998 and is currently being sold at Sears, Costco, BJ's Wholesale,
Fred Meyers, along with many specialty and discount retailers both foreign and
domestic.*

As the CEO and President of JumpSport, Publicover has successfully attracted funding
from the Silicon Valley Band of Angels, orchestrated an effective brand-building and
national advertising campaign to generate consumer demand and build retail
distribution, established manufacturing sources in Asia, spearheaded R&D efforts that
have improved and expanded JumpSport's product line, leveraged its current retail
channels, and won strong patent protection for the JumpCourt, giving JumpSport
significant cost and distribution advantages over the competition.

Mr. Publicover majored in Economics at the University of California at Davis,
and lives in Saratoga, California.
