AffCon 2010 Denver puts the tax legislation debate front and center June 22
Fort Lauderdale, FL (PRWEB) May 26, 2010 -- Imagine life without Amazon.com. Think about it. It is an increasing reality looming for residents in states considering the passage of anti-affiliate marketing tax legislation. Amazon and companies like it that do business on the internet may find themselves with the unfortunate choice of logging off on residents who may prefer spending their money online. The so-called Amazon Tax was passed by New York State in 2008 and similar bills are being considered in other states.
The topic will be front and center at AffCon 2010 - Denver when the affiliate marketing convention hits town June 21-23. Founded on the belief that education should be free, AffCon 2010 - Denver will offer free seminars, workshops and networking opportunities presented by the finest minds in the industry.
Some of those minds will be tacking the tax legislation debate in the June 22 session “The Affiliate Tax: How Colorado Mobilized its Fight.” One of the panelists, Colorado State Representative John "Jack" Pommer is sponsoring a state bill of his own. Joining him for the session will be Jeannine Crooks, Affiliate Manager, Scudder Phillips, LLC; David Asseoff, President and CEO, Adperio and Peter Bordes, CEO, Media Trust.
Colorado state bill HB 1193 was introduced in January in an attempt to establish responsibility for the collection of sales tax for out-of-state retailers that use Colorado-based affiliate relationships as a method of advertising. Pommer, who is also Chair of the Appropriations Committee, is co-sponsoring the bill with Senator Rollie Heath.
“This issue affects everyone in the affiliate marketing space. It impacts our livelihood and future existence. It’s a topic AffCon2010 - Denver must tackle so our affiliates can advocate for their jobs,” said Daron Babin, co-founder and CEO of WebmasterRadio.FM and AffCon2010.
The tax legislation is just one of many tough topics AffCon2010 is wrestling to the ground over the two-day convention. “Let’s Clean it Up!” – a session preceding the affiliate tax session - features a Town Hall-style format in which panelists will discuss current industry perception, reputation management for affiliate marketers and challenges facing professionals in the space seeking to maintain high-quality business practices. Matt Frary, CEO, Smarter Chaos will moderate the session with panelists Charles Mui, CEO, Magnate Marketing and Lori Weiman, CEO, The Search Monitor.
