CNET Networks acquired New York-based EDventure Holdings in a cash and stock transaction. EDventure is known as an independent authority on technology issues through its Release 1.0 publications and
PC Forum executive conferences. Under the leadership of Esther Dyson and Daphne Kis, both of whom will join CNET Networks, EDventure has built successful fee-based content brands, including Release
1.0, an influential monthly technology report, and PC (Platforms for Communication) Forum, the annual technology conference for Information Technology (IT) executives, entrepreneurs and investors.
CNET Networks plans to leverage its audience reach and global infrastructure to expand and enhance EDventure's successful fee-based Release 1.0 newsletter and PC Forum event businesses.
