Las Vegas. Dafra Sanou, who leads affiliate marketing for Global Core Products at Uber Technologies, and Kana Roberts, Affiliate Marketing Manager at Microsoft are to be keynote speakers at AM Days 2018, taking place May 16-17 in Las Vegas. Now in its seventh year, AM Days is the must attend event for brands serious about performance-based affiliate marketing.
Dafra will be presenting Affiliate Marketing: the Journey to the Light, focused on affiliate evolution: from a “channel” that no one understood, to an inherent part of the marketing mix at most organizations. Unveiling the “Black Box” to Drive Incrementality is the title of Kana’s presentation, exploring how affiliates can be optimized in the retailer’s favor by finding the strengths within the most challenging issues (attribution models, fraud/resellers, online to offline, etc.) and leveraging actionable data to power those decisions
Geno Prussakov, Founder & Chair of AM Days, observed “We’re delighted to have such leading practitioners of performance marketing as Dafra and Kana as keynotes in 2018. They’ll be touching on key topics we’re covering relevant to the performance marketing industry including brand/publisher relationship management, performance marketing analytics, prevention of violations and fraud, mobile performance marketing, the role of technology and affiliate networks, legislative issues and challenges, conversion optimization and more. “
In addition to hearing from brands such as Uber, Microsoft, Levi Strauss & Co., and Backcountry.com attendees will interact with a host of performance marketing industry veterans also speaking at AM Days, including Todd Crawford, VP Strategic Initiatives at Impact Radius; Greg Shepard, Chief Technology Officer, Pepperjam; Stephanie Robbins, President, Robbins Interactive; Chris Tradgett, Director, Publisher Discovery; Sarah Bundy, Founder & CEO, All Inclusive Marketing; Dan Sweeney, Group Vice President, Corporate Development, CJ Affiliate; Heather Ann Havenwood, CEO, Sexy Boss Inc.; Jeff Gable, VP, Client Services, Rakuten Marketing; Choots Humphries, Co-President, LinkConnector; Juntae DeLane, Founder, Digital Branding Institute and many more. The full agenda including all speakers is available here.
Geno Prussakov will also be conducting an interactive and practically-geared half-day workshop, one day prior to AM Days, Advertiser’s Crash Course in Affiliate Marketing. This walks through the entire process of researching, setting up, launching, managing, and building an affiliate marketing program for any business.
