BROOKLYN, NY (February 9, 2009) — One of the most respected trade associations in the organic products industry is none other than the Organic Trade Association (OTA). A proud member of the International Federation of Organic Agricultural Movements, OTA is one of the only membership-based trade associations solely focused on fostering and supporting organic businesses in North America. Dedicated to advancing organic standards and promoting the market to a larger demographic, the OTA offers great business solutions to small businesses seeking a larger audience. In fact, sixty percent of the OTA's members are small businesses.

One of the best ways OTA enables member businesses to reach consumers and develop business partner relationships is by giving them the opportunity to exhibit their wares at the annual OTA "All Things Organic" Conference and Trade Show. While it's not mandatory that all exhibiting businesses are members of OTA, the members-only reduced exhibitor fees ($30/square foot and $150/corner space) is worth the membership alone.

The OTA All Things Organic conference offers a terrific opportunity for web entrepreneurs who are seeking to become more familiar with the organic products sector and make some valuable business connections at the same time. All of the businesses in attendance have websites that might very well have affiliate programs even. And let's not forget the thousands of free samples waiting to be tasted!

This years combined conference and trade show is scheduled for June 16-18, 2009 at Lakeside Center, McCormick Place in one of the greenest and certainly windiest cities in the U.S. - Chicago. Prospective exhibitors can secure a space today by making a 50% deposit of the exhibitor space cost.

In addition to reduced exhibitor fees, OTA members will receive OTA's bi-monthly news flash and quarterly publication, "The Organic Report", a listing in the Organic Pages Online, discounted advertising rates, free use of the OTA logo and opportunities to participate in special public relations events and OTA policy events. All exhibitors attending the conference will receive a free press release and web link on the All Things Organic website, as well as a company name sign and listing in the All Things Organic show program.
