History

Multiwebcast began its operation under the name of E-MedHosting.com Inc; it


acquired its expertise in the continuing medical education domain (the name is
still legally used). One of their first product was CMEonHIV.com (launched in
2000), online CME presentations on HIV for healthcare professionals given by
international experts.

The company continued its expansion by launching on the same year


CMEonDiabetes.com, providing CME conferences given by international experts in
endocrinology, insulin resistance, prediabetes, metabolic syndrome and Type 2
diabetes.

The following years, the company launched a series of CME websites in the field of
Hemophilia, Transplantation, Sleep Disorders, Prostate Health, ADHD.

In 2003, the company was involved in the first major online education activity for
Canadian Physicians during the SARS breakout in Canada in 2003. Dr. Don Low, chief
microbiologist at Toronto's Mount Sinai hospital, was halfway through a
precautionary 10-day quarantine at his home when he gave a lecture that E-
MedHosting published and translated in French within 24h for the Canadian Medical
Association (CMA).

In 2004, the company launched the first website fully dedicated to the research on
C-reactive protein and the JUPITER trial, CRPhealth.com. Thanks to the involvement
of Dr. Paul Ridker and other renowned experts in the field, the website was
featured by many media online. Its General Public portal explain in non-scientific
vocabulary the implication of the CRP in detection of heart attack.

In 2005, the company launched a series of CME websites in Australia geared towards
Australian Specialists and General Practitioners.

In 2006, Multiwebcast announced its first long-term webcast services contract with
The European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL).

(Kenes, Eurocongress, KIT,...) and professional associations (EASL, EAES, EACS,
