If you’re an etailer, this is one conference you don’t want to miss.”

In addition to its educational seminars, the IMA will have a hospitality suite open from 6 pm on March 1st, 2nd and 3rd; an excellent opportunity to network with and learn from other ecommerce merchants and experts in the field.
