LinkShare Symposium West 2009: Event Wrap Up
San Francisco, California | January 21-22, 2009
The E-commerce revolution was in high gear when over 325 managers and executives from the world's leading and emerging e-commerce companies attended LinkShare Symposium West 2009 at the iconic Palace Hotel in San Francisco. A combination of networking and learning, LinkShare Symposium West enabled advertisers and publishers to discover new revenue opportunities, strengthen current partnerships, and obtain key insights into online consumer behavior in today's challenging economy.
A welcome reception kicked things off on Wednesday evening in the Garden Court of the historic Palace Hotel. Attendees arrived early and stayed late as they enjoyed hors d'oeuvres, delicious food and the open bar. It was the perfect start and venue to help Advertisers and Publishers kick-start their networking activities.
Thursday morning's events began with opening remarks from Yaz Iida, Co-President of LinkShare. Yaz announced how Advertisers and Publishers new to LinkShare Symposium - or "Golden Newbies" - could be identified by blinking lights on their badges. This novel approach to networking helped Advertisers and Publishers seek out new partnerships as they filled their schedules with impromptu meetings throughout the day.
