Advice for Applying

Be mindful of the industry's agenda – don’t just push your own:
iGB Affiliate is an editorial led show. Every year our content team works hard to let companies know the topics our audience want. When submitting your paper, you should give careful thought to where it might fit with the conference agenda (categories are included on the submission form). The formation of the final agenda is very much a fluid process and changes week by week. The initial topics are therefore deliberately vague and all ideas that can be related to them will be considered and not all topics will make the final agenda themes.

It’s about thought leadership, insight, and access – not a sales soapbox:
Think about the type of insight you might be able to offer that the iGB Affiliate content team simply won’t get anywhere else. Bespoke research? Access to affiliate secrets? A heads up on key industry transformation? Successful entries have these considerations at their core – not the future sales pipeline of a particular product, service, or company. If they you to promote a new product, hold your pitch or demo on their stand, or enquire about renting one one of our stages for your own partner programme. 

Don’t offer a standard stance on a broad, much-discussed topic:
"Is this the death of SEO?" or "The Future of PPC on Google", for example won't get you anywhere. Do tell us something we don’t know. Take an unusual stance on a familiar topic, or choose a narrow topic.

Stand out from the crowd:
If you're running a 20 person company / have written a book / have raised €10m in funding / "do a lot for the industry" / speak at all the big shows, well then that’s a great achievement, but it doesn’t stand out. Tell us something unique. Don’t just rely on your personal reputation. Unless you're really, really (not-just gaming) famous, of course.

Credibility comes from research, data and case studies:
It is notoriously difficult to get affiliates to stand beside you, open all their traffic secrets, and present a recent project you have delivered. But that certainly shouldn’t stop you from asking! iGB Affiliate loves a good case study, especially if they demonstrate clear innovation or illustrate how a vendor is helping a affiliate transform its working practices. Likewise... get technical. Our audience want that.

Demonstrate your skills:
Include a five minute YouTube demo of you on top form. Surprisingly few people do this. It is a fiercely competitive process to speak at iGB Affiliate. There is more interest than there are slots available. It's on you to capture our attention (in the right way!)
