Forum Agenda 10:00

Welcome from Chairperson Lee-Ann Johnstone, CEO & Founder, AffiliateINSIDER

10:15 – 11:00

What is an Affiliate now anyway?

We deep dive the affiliate landscape as it stands and understand how the traffic ecosystem is currently being split. The rise of M&A and publisher networks as well as media conglomerates working in the affiliate channel changes the way digital marketers plan their acquisition strategy. Affiliates are becoming more diverse and complex it’s not just about acquisition but also conversion and retention opportunities that they present as businesses as well as how they regulate and become socially responsible too. We discuss how the affiliate model will develop and what opportunities are arising for collaboration on a deeper level.
