Don't miss the performance-based marketing industry event of the year! For more than ten years, the LinkShare Symposium has brought together hundreds of leading executives from the world's most innovative ecommerce companies for a day of learning, exchanging of ideas, and networking.
 
The LinkShare Symposium conference will take place on Tuesday, June 24 at Chelsea Piers. James Surowiecki, author of The Wisdom of Crowds, will deliver the morning keynote address. The afternoon keynote will be given by E. Kinney Zalesne, co-author with Mark Penn of Microtrends: The Small Forces Behind Tomorrow's Big Changes.

In addition to the keynotes, Patti Freeman Evans, Research Director at JupiterResearch, will be this year’s TrendWatch 2008 speaker. Patti will unveil the results of a new survey sponsored by LinkShare that looks at the changing habits of online shoppers and the effectiveness of the wide variety of marketing services.

Throughout the day, LinkShare advertisers and publishers will have extensive opportunities to interact and collaborate on their performance marketing initiatives during activities like the LinkShare DealMaker. Click here to see the 2008 DealMaker Hosts.
