All Hands on Deck! ICE, Inc. and Levitin Group to Host Industry Leaders on the High Seas

PHOENIX (January 9, 2006) – On January 22nd, top timeshare and cruise executives from all over the world will board Windstar Cruise Line's magnificent 154-cabin Wind Surf and set sail on "The Powers at Sea – Leadership and Business Development Summit." An international gathering of participants from North America, Mexico, Europe and Africa will spend a week cruising the Caribbean for the sold-out VIP event. This "conference at sea" combines the elements of an executive educational retreat, working symposium, dynamic seminars and workshops and industry networking with island hopping and sailing on the turquoise waters of the Caribbean. In conjunction with the event, Levitin Group will host their popular workshop "SHOWTIME," an interactive management event focusing on the art and methodology of effective sales and leadership training.

Since tickets for the conference went on sale months ago, interest in the unique event has been extremely high and "The Powers at Sea" sold out faster than either ICE or Levitin Group expected. Marcia Rowley, co-founder and Executive Vice President of ICE, noted that expectations were high in view of the success of last year's event, but still were exceeded by industry reaction.

"This is an extremely rare opportunity for industry leaders to get away from all distractions and really focus on the business at hand," noted Rowley. "In addition, the one-of-a-kind environment lets them interact one-on-one on both professional and personal levels."

"Leaders in our industry were immediately enthralled with the concept of combining business education with pleasure aboard a first class luxury ship while visiting exotic ports of call," said Shari Levitin Katz, CEO and President of Levitin Group. "We knew the conference would be well received, but even we were surprised at just how much excitement was generated over the last few months."

"Co-hosting this event with an ally like ICE is a thrill and an honor," Ms. Katz continued. "'The Powers at Sea' will be one of the high points of our year; I know it will also be for everyone on board."
