ThinkTank APAC Network Awards

“I thought it was well worth my time to come up to Sydney for the day. The best thing for me was meeting a lot of affiliate managers face to face, lots of people who I have have worked with for many years, who I have never met in person.”

“There is nothing like a real-life connection with our colleagues - so that was one positive. The other positive was that I got to meet some new people as well, new publishers and new brands.”

“Great event hosted by Commission Factory, with some of the most relevant insights in the marketing and affiliate landscape. Great networking event to visit and meet new potential partners. I would advise any brand, tech vendor or agency to attend.”
