Creating Connections at CJU17

There is less than a month to CJU17 and the weather isn't the only thing heating up here in sunny Santa Barbara! 

For the last 18 years CJ Affiliate has brought advertisers and publishers from around the world to connect face to face at the annual networking event CJ University (more commonly referred to as CJU). Not only does this three-day event take place right across the street from a beautiful white sandy beach, but it offers endless network opportunities for attendees. In addition to their other networking events, this year CJU17 will feature some new ways to connect:

CJU Connect

This year we are starting the conference on Monday to highlight this brand new event. CJU Connect is where attendees can register and pick up their badge and swag, then go directly into meeting new partners. Located outdoors in the Plaza del Sol, this event provides a fun, casual atmosphere for advertisers, publishers, and agencies to connect. 

New to CJU?

First time attending CJU? Not to worry, we've expanded opportunities for new attendees to get the most out of this event. Also on day one of the event is a session for all newcomers: How to Navigate Your First CJU. This session will teach you everything you know to take full advantage of the next three days of the event. Looking to connect with other new comers? We've also arranged two New to CJU Happy Hours. These no host events allow you to connect with other CJU first timers, whether advertiser, publisher, or agency. 

Classic Networking Events

We also will continue to offer our other favorite networking events at CJU17: 

• Welcome Party - Sponsored by Sears and located right on the beach! 
• CJU Funk Zone - Sponsored by Honey at the Waterline on Santa Barbara's popular urban wine trail. 
• Cocktail Hour 1/2 - Sponsored by Home Depot on the front lawn of The Fess Parker
• After Party - Sponsored by HomeAway at Tonic Nightclub in downtown Santa Barbara. 

And that doesn't even include all of our educational sessions and hands-on learning opportunities. It's no wonder year after year CJU is hailed the industry's favorite affiliate marketing event. See you in September!
