Cognigen's  Agents Meet for Advanced Online Marketing  Training and Introduction
of New Products and Services

Mountlake  Terrace,  Washington,  July 22  /PRNewswire-First  Call/ --  Cognigen
Networks,   Inc.   (OTC   Bulletin   Board:   CGNW-  news),   the  Seattle  area
Internet-enabled  marketer of communications services and certificated reseller,
recently concluded an outstandingly successful sales seminar and training event.
Independent  agents from across the country gathered in Seattle for the two days
of advanced  instruction in online marketing  techniques and introduction of new
products and services. Among the vendors participating at the sales seminar were
PowerNet Global,  Telarus/Shop4T1,  International  Telcom, OPEX  Communications,
Packet8, Inphonic, VMC Dish and Trinsic.

Thomas S. Smith,  president and CEO of Cognigen,  stated "This  particular event
was an  overwhelming  success for the Company,  because it was geared toward the
professional  salesperson.  Often direct sales and Internet marketing  companies
like ours stage rallies,  jamborees and  motivational  summits that generally do
not benefit the  professional  sales agent.  What we accomplished in Seattle was
quite  different.  We armed our sales force with real world sales  knowledge and
marketing  techniques  that  others pay  thousands  of dollars  for at  advanced
educational  institutions.  A highly  qualified and superbly  competent  faculty
composed  our  national  trainers  and sales  executives  representing  our most
prominent  vendors taught and dialoged with our most  experienced and successful
agents."

Robert Probst,  Cognigen's manager for sales and marketing,  who coordinated the
event,  commented,  "As I met  privately  with  many  of our top  agents,  I was
thrilled  to see their  enthusiasm  for the  direction  in which our  Company is
headed. The soon to be announced  diversification to an online shopping mall and
travel services creates  significant new avenues to pursue and the potential for
tremendous  income streams.  This optimism was further  confirmed at our banquet
and awards  presentation,  when Cognigen's president and CEO presented Mr. Shawn
Vinik with a  commissions  check in excess of $105,000,  making this 25 year old
sales rep the first  Cognigen  agent to surpass  $100,000  in monthly  earnings.
Cognigen is attracting  quality master agents like Mr. Vinik in droves,  largely
due to the high commissions we offer, and our wide range of product offerings"
