Estimated Time of Arrival: April
The Electronic Transactions Association will mark its 20th anniversary in 2010, the trade group announced today. While the milestone will be celebrated in a variety of ways throughout the year, the anniversary will be the centerpiece of ETA’s 2010 Annual Meeting & Expo, April 13-15, in Las Vegas, NV.
“ETA has played a very important role in the payments industry over the past twenty years,” noted Carla Balakgie, ETA’s Chief Executive Officer. “We’ll be celebrating that role and honoring those who founded the organization as well as those who have contributed in so many ways during the past two decades. But at the same time, we will be calling attention to the challenges ahead and the opportunity for ETA and its members to drive the industry forward.”
The high-point of the anniversary celebration will come during ETA’s annual meeting, where many special events and activities are being planned to mark the occasion. “ETA’s Annual Meeting & Expo is the perfect place mark ETA’s twentieth year,” Balakgie says. “Everyone, from the industry’s pioneers to today’s leaders, will be on hand, and our goal is to make this the most exciting event we’ve ever organized. Anyone who is now part of ETA, who has been, or would like to get involved, should make plans now to join us in
Las Vegas.”
Additional activities and events related to ETA’s anniversary and to the Annual Meeting & Expo will be unveiled throughout the year, including special content in ETA’s magazine, Transaction Trends, and electronic publications.
Registration for ETA’s Annual Meeting & Expo will open in early December.
