The Hoplite Association has agreed to be published here as a contact for prospective Persian empire reenactors. They're based in the UK; mainland European applicants are welcome but must commit to attending at least one UK-based event per year. They also offer a "try before you buy" membership if you want to start by joining for just a specific event. I spent most of my time at Marathon 2011 in the HA's company; they provided the lead Persian reenactors there.

Who's near you?
The following reenactment groups have agreed to be published here as contacts for prospective Persian empire reenactors. More groups will be posted as I'm able to get in contact with them. If you know of one that's not listed here, there's rarely any harm in asking them if they'll take you on.
Ancient Hoplitikon
Melbourne, Australia
http://www.ancienthoplitikon.com/index.html
Hoplologia
Toronto, Canada
http://hoplologia.org/
Hoplologia has members across eastern North America. It's led by Christian Cameron, one of the chief organizers of Marathon 2011, and is the parent group of Taxeis Plataia.
Koryvantes
Athens, Greece
http://www.koryvantes.org/koryvantes/
Spartiatikes Mores
Athens, Greece
http://www.spartasmores.gr/
This group is preparing to change its name (to Leonidas) and website. New contact information as soon as I get it.
Last but not least:
Amphictyonia
Worldwide
http://www.amphictyonia.org/
The umbrella group formed by participants of Marathon 2011, Amphictyonia exists to provide unified planning and representation when multiple groups come together to stage major events. Additional links to groups around the world may be found here.

myArmoury.com

Sword Forum International
http://www.swordforum.com/forums/
Two great sites for the discussion of arms and armor.
Roman Army Talk
http://romanarmytalk.com/rat/index.html
While the main site is focused on Rome, RAT is one of the big Internet hubs for reenactors of all ancient periods.
Hellenic Armors
http://www.hellenicarmors.gr/
The exclusive armorer for Koryvantes (above). Greek-style armor is appropriate for Iranians at least some of the time, and of course Ionians and Greek mercenaries in Persian service.
Next up: Belts.
