What has been rumored for months (eBay & Beyond had unofficial confirmation about a month ago) has finally been confirmed by Lorrie Norrington today in a post on the eBay Announcement Board.
Ms. Norrington states in the release that “In 2009 we are focusing our energy on smaller venues to facilitate more face-to-face interactions with our customers and community. While I can’t yet name all of the places we’ll be visiting in 2009, I can say that we intend to spend more quality time with more of you in 2009 than we have in recent memory.”
While this has been rumored for some time, and logically it makes sense from a business point of view, many loyal eBayLive attendees will certainly be disappointed. One rumor we have heard is that there may be several smaller events placed strategically around the country (world) to allow easier access by more users.
Though past eBayLive events have attracted as many as 10,000 community members this number is just a fraction of the total active registered users which according to eBay is above 80,000,000 worldwide.
We will be broadcasting live a total of 12 hours from this years eBayLive in Chicago, so if you can’t attend, you can hear all the latest news right here on www.basicstobusiness.com.
