MADISON, WI — Sonic Foundry (R), Inc. (NASDAQ: SOFO), a leader in automated webcasting and visual content management solutions, today announced it will open the NASDAQ Stock Market on Wednesday, March 7th at 9:30 a.m. EST. The event will highlight the Company’s new and advanced multi-modal search capabilities for online video and web presentations by Sonic Foundry’s CEO, Rimas Buinevicius.

As a result, this process yields more contextually relevant search results for rich media content, thereby allowing information and knowledge to be found more rapidly.

Mr. Buinevicius, members of the Company’s management team and friends will be on hand to participate in the NASDAQ opening ceremonies.
