SEATTLE, WA, January 22, 2007 – Trumba Corporation, a developer of innovative event marketing technology, announced today that the Cotton Board has selected Trumba Connect to increase awareness of local and national events and communicate with cotton industry organizations. Trumba Connect enables organizations to effectively publish and promote events online and create an interactive, two-way communications vehicle between themselves and their customers.

It also allows visitors to have reminders sent via email, text message, or RSS feeds.

“The Cotton Board’s mission is to keep U.S. producers and importers of cotton informed on the innovative developments stemming from the Cotton Research & Promotion Program,” said Jay Tomasello, Director of Information Technology at the Cotton Board. “Trumba Connect makes it easier for us to deliver on this mission by enabling our users to find cotton industry event information in a more efficient and effective manner.”

Trumba Connect is helping them turn their event calendar into a communication vehicle to better connect and communicate with industry organizations,” said Jeremy Jaech, CEO of Trumba. “Cotton buyers, producers or growers who visit the Cotton Board’s web site can now easily find relevant event information throughout the year.”
