FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

GENESYS CONFERENCING TO BE LISTED
ON EURONEXT SBF120 INDEX
Montpellier, France--July 16, 2001--Genesys Conferencing (Euronext: 3955 and
Nasdaq: GNSY), the world's leading conferencing specialist, today announced it
will be added to the SBF120 index--one of the Euronext's indices--as of August
8, 2001.
The SBF120 is a diversified sample of French stocks. It is considered an ideal
reference for indexed funds, and for measuring asset-management performance in
French equities. Components are the market's most active, continuously traded
stocks. The index is comprised of the top 120 publicly traded companies in terms
of market capitalization and stock liquidity. Genesys has been included in the
SBF250, which features similar criteria for the top 250 publicly traded French
equities, since February 2001.
Genesys Conferencing's addition to the SBF120 occurs less than three years after
the company's initial public offering on October 1, 1998. Genesys Conferencing's
ability to meet the necessary criteria so quickly reflects the company's
strategy of strong, dynamic growth and profitability through internal
development, such as enriched product offerings, growing client base,
international expansion, and external growth through 14 acquisitions over the
past three years.
The recent acquisition of Bedford, Mass.-based Vialog Corporation on April 26,
2001, vaulted Genesys Conferencing to the No.1 U.S. conferencing specialist and
strengthened its dominant position worldwide. With the acquisition, Genesys
doubled its size and is now the market leader in each of its three major
strategic area: North America, Europe (No. 1 since 1997) and Asia-Pacific (No. 1
since 1998).
About Genesys Conferencing:
Founded in 1986, Genesys Conferencing is the world's leading conferencing
specialist: audio conferencing, data conferencing, video conferencing and
webstreaming. Working in a rapidly growing market and enjoying unique worldwide

Pacific and North America. Genesys Conferencing is listed on the Nouveau Marche
