eCommerce Merchants Trade Association

eCommerce Merchants Trade Association (ECMTA) recently announced it has begun establishing local chapters of its international trade association of internet marketers. ECMTA brings it’s members information and education regarding all aspects and venues of internet marketing. 

The first local chapter was established in Atlanta with John “ColderIce” Lawson, CEO of 3RDPoweroutlet.com, as President. The local chapters are being organized on Meetup.com and the Atlanta Meetup can be found at http://www.meetup.com/eCommerce-Merchants-Atlanta-Chapter/. The initial meeting of the Atlanta group is scheduled for Janaury 12th, with SEO/SEM expert Charles Lumpkin as the featured speaker.

Brandon Dupsky Managing Director of ECMTA also announced the creation of local chapters in Chicago IL, Dallas TX, and San Francisco CA.

The Chicago Chapter is hosted by yours truly and our first Meetup is scheduled for January 19th and the the Meetup page can be found here: http://www.meetup.com/eCommerce-Merchants-Chicago-Chapter/. Our featured speaker will be David Simon of Weltman and Bernfield LLC, on the topic of structuring your ecommerce business and tax implications.

The Dallas chapter is hosted by Melinda Jackson and their Meetup page can be found here: http://www.meetup.com/eCommerce-Merchants-Dallas-Fort-Worth-Chapter/. Their first Meetup is scheduled for Janaury, 2010 with thedate, location and topic to be announced.

The San Francisco chapter has scheduled their first meeting for late January and their Meetup page is located here: http://www.meetup.com/eCommerce-Merchants-San-Francisco-Chapter/.

Dupsky also stated during an interview Wednesday evening on The River The Ranch and The Bay podcast that several more local chapters were in the planning stages in major cities around the US and Canada.

By establishing local chapters, ECMTA will be able to bring their educational resources to thousands more potential members. This will benefit internet marketers by allowing them access to information and education that normally would be reserved for bigger conferences, the cost and location of which sometimes restrict the ability of members to attend.

ECMTA is also sponsoring eCommerce Summit 2010 in Las Vegas, NV April 13-15 2010. Dupsky promises this year’s event will be the best ever, with noted experts in many aspects of internet marketing!

Personally speaking, I look forward to the opportunity to help inform, educate and most importantly learn from the members of our Chicago chapter!
