The Brand Panel, moderated by Jeremy Britto of Avantlink, with Ryan Repp of Reputation Marketing and Tim Brandt of Murray Road Agency, will focus on how brands can build smarter affiliate programs, choose the right partners and platforms, use transaction data more effectively and decide where AI fits into the conversion equation. Together, these sessions offer practical insight, strategic direction and valuable networking that make POMA an ideal place for creators and brands to connect, learn and build partnerships that drive growth.
