Performance Marketing in New York
This month
+Linkdex will be taking in another digital conference (or two) in New York City for the Performance Marketing industry. The timing of them both suggests more than a little tension in the air as Europe's leading affiliate conference organisers take their new offering across the pond. It seems that Affiliate Summit must have felt a bit threatened with another organiser running an event in their space and on 'their turf'!
Matt Wood of Existem announced the first
Performance Marketing Insights event
In reponse, Shawn Collins announced a spookily similar sounding event - it could be seen as a 'spoiler' intended specifically to confuse attendees. Adopting an almost identical title could have been seen as a brand infringement, and in another industry with a more litigious victim could have led to a dispute. As is, the obvious spoiling technique will be viewed in a number of lights depending on viewpoint, but does not reflect well on the Affiliate Summit organisers at all.
Obviously the USA is a great deal larger and arguably there is plenty of space for two events in a similar sector to get along fine. So what do the two promise to offer:
This is a simple format one day event for a maximum of 200 people, going back to their roots in the Baruch College in New York. The format will be a series of 20 minute slots including:
- Emancipate Yourself from Mental Slavery
- Build a Better Program: Segmentation, Attribution and Motivation
- Mobile Affiliate Marketing Insights
- Social Media Buying Campaign Tricks
- Do Not Track vs. Affiliate Marketing
- The Mobile and Social Engagement Story
- Should Last Clicks Still Rule?
- Behavior Driven Gamification in Performance Marketing
- Rapid Media Buying at Massive Scale
- How Affiliate Marketing Helps Brand Exposure
The full agenda is on the PMS page of the
Affiliate Summit site
Tickets are priced at
$199

Given the disparity and the relative agendas, it is easy to see that the Affiliate Summit event has been put together quickly as a response rather than as the claims set out in the ASW handbook.
Interestingly with just over a week to go, its the Existem event winning out in Google from both .co. and .co.uk, so its not just a location anomaly:
PMI is also showing in a G+ entry and Performance Horizon link on page one.
It will be very interesting to see how this all pans out - especially as Missy Ward announced she was planning a trip to London via social networks - and though I'm not the most prolific writer (note the infrequency of posts!) I'll come back and share my thoughts on them both.
See you in New York!

Loving the way that your name appears first in the search result for PMI :-)
