The PeSA Internet Conference Continues To Gain Momentum

Professional eBay & eCommerce Sellers Internet Conference Now in Fifth Year

Featuring over 30 international and local speakers, across four streams, there are insights for both expert and novice sellers alike. There will be over 600 delegates at PeSA Summit 2011, so there will be unbeatable networking opportunities. The exhibition runs for the entire two days, so you can meet vendors to help you grow your business.

The PeSA Internet Conference continues to gain momentum, with 2011 being the fifth year of the event. Registrations are growing strongly, with over 350 delegates already registered to attend the event at the Gold Coast Convention Centre on the 21-22 July 2011. The Conference is expected to attract 600 existing and budding online retailers from around Australia.

“I was inspired to bring PeSA to Australia in 2007 by the amazing events that I attended in the USA,” says PeSA Australia founder Phil Leahy. “There just wasn’t an annual internet marketing conference that serviced smaller sellers in Australia, who are really at the coalface of online retailing in Australia. Thirty percent of our online retailers turnover under $70,000 but another 18% turn over more than a million. So PeSA Internet Conference has marketing seminars for everyone.”

“This year we’re excited to bring out first time presenter Channel Advisor CEO Scot Wingo, whose company handles almost 3 billion in sales on behalf of its customers. We’re also proud to bring back conference favourites, like social media guru John Lawson, who a previous delegate told me inspired her to set up a Facebook page (with over 26,000 “likes”) that she credits with tripling her sales,” says Leahy.

The PeSA Internet Conference has been developed with the small-medium sized online retailer in mind. As such, the registration prices have been kept extremely low ($399 for the 2 day conference), with the marketing conference largely funded by exhibitors.
