eBay Chatter - eBay Live in Chicago will be last for two years

It is THE national convention for all levels of eBay users. There are programs for Powersellers, Education Specialists, Trading Assistant, casual sellers, casual buyers, or anyone in between.

Just before the conference is the software developers conference. These folks are usually writing programs for eBay users.

Besides the workshops, there is a trade fair, eBay merchandise, award programs, banquets, breakfasts and a grand finale with entertainment.
