New Association Aims for Stronger, More Collaborative, Global Digital Community
RICHMOND, Va., Sept. 8 -- The International Association of Internet Professionals (IAIP) announced today that its website, http://www.internetprofessionals.org, has moved beyond the beta testing stage and is now ready to become the leading global digital resource for networking, collaboration, career development and trends in web, mobile and emerging technologies.
"This site is the culmination of years of work and a place we hope will become the central hub of the digital community," says Jonathan Sackett, chairman and founder of the organization. "It provides the forum for professionals across the world to shake hands, collaborate, and create positive change in the industry."
The goal of the IAIP is to provide an international online community that connects internet professionals across the globe, breaking down the barriers of borders and translation. The site will foster the sharing of best practices, allow members to contribute content, and strive to lead the industry through the digital age using an open source model.
"The IAIP is more than a new website," continues Sackett. "We believe that all digital initiatives -- web, mobile apps, experiential, social, etc. -- are moving in similar directions - but, independently. These initiatives need to work differently. They can and should work in concert with one another. Imagine having access to thousands of digital professionals across the globe. Not only can members network with each other, they can glean knowledge and share experiences in real-time."
During the beta phase of the site launch, the IAIP received registrations from people in more than seventy different countries. Membership is free and open to all digital professionals and others who have an interest in the industry.
While the website will continuously evolve over time, the initial launch will grant members access to a community forum that allows them to network and to explore new ideas in marketing, advertising and technology. Soon, the site will evolve to include real-time translation capabilities, a comprehensive industry event calendar and an international job board.
The IAIP is currently looking for content contributors, association partners and sponsors. If interested, please contact info@internetprofessionals.org.
