Welcome,

This has been a magnificent year for the Internet Marketing Association and our industry a whole. Many of the top brands that power the digital marketing arena have grown in value - mainly due to the continued convergence of other mediums to digital. As advancements continue to happen, it is the IMA that has stood first in line to educate and engage our members around those advancements.

We have groups now formed around the world, from Seattle to Jakarta, a Women Leader's initiative, Merit Program and one of the world's largest conferences dedicated to the space. IMPACT15 was above all our best conference, showcasing top/end digital marketers, brands and networking professionals from around the world.

In 2016, we will be launching 4 conferences in Cayman Islands, Bahrain, Park City and of course, Las Vegas!

Thank you for your continued support, passion and time as a member of the IMA. Our best days are yet to come and we are here to serve you with any idea, challenge or opportunity you have for us.

Happy Holidays to you and your family!

Sincerely,

Sinan Kanatsiz, CIM
