A "Exhibitor Committee" was formed by a general vote of the exhibitors in June 2001 at the Replitech exhibition in Geneva. It consisted of 10 members: 5 members elected from the OMMA Association and 5 members elected from the ARIES group. It represented a balance of large and small exhibitors.

On November 9th of 2001, the members of the Exhibitor Committee formed the MEDIA-TECH Association to execute the wishes of the exhibitors of the Media and IT industries. The goal was to create a great tradeshow, a future media conference and to resolve other current needs of the industry.
