Top RESX Clients Discuss Indistry Trends, Strategy, and Product Innovation at Second Annual User Summit
TRX Recognizes Several Travel Management Companies and Corporations for Outstanding Online Travel Programs
ATLANTA, 13 March 2008 — TRX, Inc. (NASDAQ: TRXI), a global technology company that develops and hosts software applications to process data records and automate manual processes, announced the successful completion of the second annual RESX100 Summit. RESX is a leading online booking tool allowing corporate travelers to create policy-compliant and on-budget travel reservations via a hosted Web interface.

Hosted by RESX Technologies, TRX's RESX service delivery team, the two-day Summit brought together top travel management companies and corporations using RESX as well as a host of integration and alliance partners.

The Summit featured a keynote address by TRX President and CEO Trip Davis, a best practices panel discussion on integrating travel booking and expense management, a review of RESX's 3rd party integration strategy, detailed discussion on future product development plans, and a review of upcoming marketing initiatives. The event also featured an alliance and integration partner exposition where nearly a dozen vendors showcased their integrated RESX offerings.

"Attendance was more than double our inaugural Summit, and the positive attendee feedback indicated the Summit and the expo were an overwhelming success", said Shane Hammond, President, RESX Technologies.

"Attending the RESX00 Summit was an eye opening experience. Currently, we primarily interface with our travel management company when it comes to online booking; hearing directly from RESX as the technology provider gave me a broader understanding of the RESX offerings", said Roger DeGroot, Director, Business Services, Grainger, Inc.

RESX Technologies also recognized TMCs and corporations for growing their RESX online program, supporting product innovation and building solid relationships during the awards dinner ceremony.

"While our strategy calls for us to support and distribute multiple products, RESX Technologies has proven time and time again to be an outstanding partner. They are true innovation leaders, who deliver a high level of customer support, allowing us to focus on servicing the needs of our clients", said Kevin O'Malley, EVP and CFO, Travel and Transport. "Being recognized for the success of our RESX program is a testament to our great working relationship".
