Opening up the conversation: Guidelines and standards for the industry, are we going far enough?
This industry is going from strength to strength, but with growth comes challenges. Moderated by Awin’s Kevin Edwards, and welcoming James Little, Group Commercial Director, TopCashback and Nickesh Patel, Ad Tech and Standards Manager, IAB UK, this panel will be asking the difficult questions, and focusing on whether the guidelines and standards are more carrot than stick, and whether they are going far enough to discourage ‘bad practice.’

Following his keynote, Adam Ross will join Hanan Maayan, CEO, Trackonomics, Simon Bird, CEO, RevLifter and Ashley Spiker, Director of Partnerships, Refersion for a candid discussion as they evaluate that state of the affiliate marketing ecosystem.
