Now that we’re halfway through the start of Q2, and with ASE24 on the horizon next quarter, we wanted to take a look back at ASW24. As the biggest affiliate marketing event in the world, this past January, thousands flocked to Vegas to grow, get inspired, and network with like-minded individuals. It’s a conference like no other and was filled with amazing content from industry experts to help you thrive.

A standout highlight that we wanted to share from this past conference was the ASW24 Keynote Panel; a dynamic discussion spanning the significance of partnerships, technology, and marketing expertise. Led by industry leaders from impact.com, CJ, Awin, Partnerize, and Rakuten and moderated by our own Sarah Bundy, this insightful session offers a wealth of knowledge from a powerhouse lineup of female executives.
