International Classified Media Association

You have a great opportunity to learn online from the experts!

ICMA

The International Classified Media Association is a professional international trade association, based in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, focusing specifically on classifieds in print, online and mobile. We have members in 25 countries around the world who benefit from the information-sharing and knowledge exchange at conferences and workshops that we organize, and via the newsletter and website during the year. ICMA offers an annual program of dedicated conferences, meetings, sharing best practice, benchmarking as well as quarterly newsletters to keep at the forefront of the ever changing industry trends and innovations.

ICMA General Meeting

When: May 13 – 16, 2009
Where: Tallinn, Estonia

The packed program will include a Keynote Address from Jacob Aqraou, the head of eBay Classifieds Group, an industry analysis from Martha Stone, Director of the WAN "Shaping the Future of the Newspaper" project and a presentation from Google on what trends they see happenings in classifieds and what they're doing about them. There will also be interactive workshops on mobile, Google Analytics and usability, a special session with the noted futurologist Magnus Lindqvist, and the "Sharing Best Practice" face-to-face benchmarking session (one of the most valuable formats around). Check out the latest program and the many opportunities for networking during the social events on our website.

Registration Investment
The non-member registration cost per delegate is EUR 1,399 (Early Bird EUR 1,199 if registering by April 3). This includes all open program sessions from May 13 - 16, all coffee-breaks, lunches, the Wednesday activity, the Welcome Reception and Dinner and the Thursday Medieval Feast.

Special discount for AFCP members
AFCP members enjoy a EUR 100 discount on the prices above, which is always welcome in these challenging times. You can register for the conference online via a secure server and you can claim their EUR 100 discount by entering the code AFCP in the "Other" field when asked how you heard about ICMA. Or, you can simply email Shay at the same time as registering, and she will make sure the discount is applied. This offer is available only to non-members whose company has not attended a General Meeting previously.

ICMA General Meetings provide opportunities for publishers to network, explore new technologies and create stronger business. Look for a detailed agenda and more information at the ICMA website under Events.
