The Chamber of Digital Commerce (CDC) has launched its newly updated website, which includes an automated online membership portal, as well as the announcement of the advisory board and prominent member companies. Among these member companies is MecklerMedia, one of the leading producers of global trade shows featuring Bitcoin, 3D printing, and robotics. MecklerMedia has multiple global events on various topics coming up in the following months. Through the new portal and ease of membership, the CDC hopes to increase the ease of membership as well as expand the reach of the organization to cover more ground within the digital currency sector.

Members of the CDC will be able to work directly with policy makers to influence the direction of future Bitcoin and digital currency regulation. The CDC is actively involved in shaping things like BitLicense, and other regulatory policy to create an environment that leads to healthy growth within the sector rather than stifling it.
