No need to pack a bag or board a plane to Santa Barbara—our highly-anticipated annual client conference, CJU, is combined with the comforts of home this year.
Our plan with the CJU20 Digital Series is to serve up education and hands-on learning (with a dash of fun!) so you can continue to learn, grow, and feel connected to your favorite community of marketers.
In Series 1 on September 9th, we touched base with CJ Affiliate CEO, Mayuresh Kshetramade, collected strategies for program resilience during COVID-19 with affiliate experts from Hotels.com, Walgreens, VoucherCodes, and NMPi, heard a convincing case for program diversification, and provided actionable tips for publishers looking to win new advertisers. If you missed it, don’t worry! We’ll be releasing all CJU20 Digital Series recordings at an upcoming date.
The crown jewel of Series 2? Don't miss our special session on diversity, equity, and inclusion in affiliate with leaders from across the digital ad industry. This engaging conversation will inspire you to initiate change within your own spheres of influence, whether in your organization, team, or personal life.
Here’s what we have on deck for #CJU20digital Series 2:
