Skimlinks Launches Content to Commerce Summit in NYCNEW YORK --(Business Wire)-- Skimlinks, the leading content monetization platform for digital publishers, will host the first annual Content to Commerce Summit on Tuesday, October 14, at the Openhouse Gallery in Soho New York. An invite-only event, Content to Commerce will bring together 200 publishing professionals from around the world. The summit will focus on how publishers can use commerce-related content to increase revenue and boost audience engagement. "Although publishers have historically written about products and brands, they haven't focused on the revenue and insight that comes from having commerce-related content as a core part of their overall strategy," said Alicia Navarro, Founder and CEO of Skimlinks. "However, publishers have become savvier about the role commerce-related content can play in their organization, and they have developed policies, strategies and sructures to make the most of it. Content to Commerce is an intimate event where publishers can share their experiences and learnings with a view to advancing the industry." Content to Commerce will showcase examples, strategies and lessons from publishing leaders who have applied commerce-driven content strategies at their own media outlets. Speakers include:
The agenda will cover content monetization, native commerce, mobile strategies and much more. Data scientists will also offer a unique perspective on how to measure affinity and intent using purchase data. The one-day event will close with a keynote address about the future of monetization and an after party for all attendees. Participants can expect to leave with practical knowledge that they can use to more effectively create and monetize commerce-related content. "We're invested in helping grow the digital publishing industry, and we want leaders to discover what their peers are doing to drive revenues and create compelling content," added Navarro. "Many participants are developing commerce-driven content strategies that balance editorial integrity with a viable business model. The future of publishing depends on continual innovation and shared learnings." Content to Commerce will be Skimlinks' first global conference and first event in New York, where the company is building a presence.
