LOS ANGELES — Internet payment service provider CommerceGate has signed on as a seminar sponsor of the highly anticipated XBIZ Summer ’08 Forum, to beheld July 9-11 at the world-famous 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 work with CommerceGate once again, and looks forward to a new lineup of workshops and session designed to offer higher value to a broader 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.

And 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 industry a trade show with true business value.

Complimentary entry not only includes access to these hard-hitting 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.
