CommerceGate Signs On as Seminar Sponsor of XSF '08

LOS ANGELES — Internet payment service provider CommerceGate has signed on as a seminar sponsor of the XBIZ Summer '08 Forum, to be held July 9-11 at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.

CommerceGate CEO Bjorn Skarlen said that the company is excited to be once again involved in the Summer Forum and support the show's lineup of exclusive seminars and workshops.

"We know the importance for webmasters to develop their skills, and are always happy to play a part in the education and growth of the industry overall," Skarlen said. "The European market is growing exponentially, and it is always best to remind webmasters that the industry's global reach is constantly expanding."

XBIZ Director of Sales Kristen Kaye is elated to continue to work with CommerceGate, and looks forward to a new lineup of workshops and sessions designed to offer value to a broad range of attendees.

"Bjorn and his team are such a pleasure to work with, and having their brand supporting the Summer Forum's educational lineup for another year will undoubtedly help make it stronger," Kaye said.

Now that attendance to the XBIZ Summer Forum is free to the first 1,000 attendees, the show's seminar schedule will include smaller, targeted sessions. XBIZ's ultimate goal is to offer the whole industry a trade show with true business value.

Admission to the Forum not only includes access to these specialized seminars and workshops, but also the original Speed Networking events made famous at XBIZ Hollywood '08, lunches and happy hours, exclusive parties and much more.

Registration fees will be credited back to those who already have registered.

Register now at XBIZSummerForum.com. To reserve your room at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, call (800) 473-7625 and use group code XBIG08A to receive the special Summer Forum room rate.

Sponsorship and branding opportunities are still available. For details, email Kristen Kaye at sales@xbiz.com, or call (310) 820-0228 ext. 702.
