“We are thrilled to bring together industry leaders from across the partnership economy to dive into how brands, publishers, agencies, and channel partners can thrive in this rapidly growing industry”

The partnership economy has grown rapidly, with spending on influencer marketing in the U.S. expected to rise to more than $4 billion this year, and partnerships contributing an average of 28% of overall company revenue for high-maturity companies, according to Forrester. With this in mind, now is a pivotal moment for brands to look toward partnerships to stay ahead of competitors.

“We are thrilled to bring together industry leaders from across the partnership economy to dive into how brands, publishers, agencies, and channel partners can thrive in this rapidly growing industry,” said Cristy Ebert Garcia, Chief Marketing Officer at impact.com. “Partnerships are now the main driver of growth for many businesses and iPX offers a great opportunity to learn more about the partnership ecosystem and hear best practices directly from those leading the way. We’ll offer strategic guidance not only on how to get involved, but how to get the most from this channel to excel through diverse partnerships.”

iPX will explore the future of brand and creator partnerships, with discussions led by some of the world’s leading influencers like Chloe Wen, and top business leaders in the industry, from BuzzFeed, Consumer Reports, Foot Locker, Parker Clay, MyRegistry.com, and many more.
