eBay said its annual user conference being held in Las Vegas on June 13 through 15 is sold out with a record of "nearly 15,000 attendees." eBay Live 2006 is the company's fifth annual conference bringing together buyers and sellers with eBay staff and third-party vendors.
eBay said this year's event will include 173 classes, panels and forums that provide strategies and advice on using eBay. eBay Live classes are geared towards the full range of experience levels, from those who have never bought or sold on the site to people who run full-time businesses selling on eBay. This year's event will also host over 130 exhibitors who set up stalls in the "Solutions Center" exhibit hall.
Last year's conference was held in San Jose, California where 11,600 eBay members attended the event. eBay is holding its annual Developers Conference immediately preceding the eBay Live conference.
