Internet Marketing Association Announces Partnership with STATION To Provide Event Support Starting with IMPACT15 Live Stream on Sept. 24

SAN CLEMENTE, Calif., Sept. 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The Internet Marketing Association (IMA) has announced a partnership with STATION, a revolutionary mobile communications platform that turns any smartphone into a powerful local discovery and broadcasting tool, as its exclusive partner for event video, streaming, social and syndication. The service will be offered as part of the innovative social platform that enables users to create "stations" for streaming content.

In its initial engagement with IMA, STATION will produce the live stream from the association's IMPACT15 Conference main program of keynote presentations, panel discussions and breakout sessions on Wed., Sept. 23, 2015. The live stream can be viewed at http://impact15.org/impact15-live-stream/. An archive will be available for post-event viewing.

"Station is a disruptive concept that will transform the way people think about, access and interact with information about locations and events of interest to them," said IMA Chairman Sinan Kanatsiz. "We're very excited about bringing this resource to our members to provide details about and worldwide virtual access to selected IMA events throughout the year."

The free STATION mobile app enables users to search what's happening around them in real-time and share live or recorded audio and video, pictures and text, all linked to a specific location. The partnership with IMA brings a new dimension to the platform in an alliance with a global professional association and event streaming.

"The IMA represents an incredible community of technology innovators and leaders," noted Jake Jacoby, CEO of STATION. "This relationship offers a tremendous opportunity to further expand the organization's resource and reach, brining even more value to its members."

Held at CityCenter in Las Vegas under the theme of "Accelerating Innovation," IMPACT15 attendees can chose from an array of presentations by leading industry experts, topical panel discussions, in-depth breakout sessions, solutions provider exhibits, first-class entertainment and the annual IMPACT Awards celebration. And those unable to attend can view the presentations via the STATION stream.
