MAC is required. “Since 2017, this conference continues to set the bar high for other conferences,” he says, who has attended the MAC. That's true. MAC attracts thousands of market professionals each year. They are willing to travel to all corners of the world (MAC has many of them) to network, get the latest knowledge, and relax at big parties.
In 2024, MAC will be held in Yerevan on May 30-31. From this material you will learn why to attend such events, what happens at the conference itself, how to get the most benefit from it, the price of tickets and which one is suitable for you.
Consider why you need to attend a conference in the first place.
It's no secret that at conferences you can relax and chat with friends in business and spirit, find partners and learn the latest news from the world of affiliate market. However, he also has three less obvious reasons why attending conferences will be even more convenient.
1. Conference attendees have answers you'll never find on the internet. For example, when a webmaster enters a new field, the logical thing to do is to start looking for information about it. Materials on the Internet rarely show him even a tenth of what he encounters in the real world. And at conferences, you'll meet experts who can provide effective ways to solve your problems. You can also get the contact information of someone you can contact later.
2. Build and upgrade your team. Conferences are a great place to find teams and partners. Here you will find both professionals with over 10 years of experience and beginners who are just starting their career. You can find and invite experts to your team, help you with upgrades, and give you helpful advice.
3. Find your growth points. Speakers often include case studies in their reports that detail their journey from start-up to profitability. If you listen carefully to the report, you'll know which directions you can take to benefit, which directions are dead ends, and what else you have to learn. The advantage is that you don't have to take any risks. The other person will tell you about their path and failures, so you can learn from them.
What awaits at MAC'24
This year's MAC will have over 2500 attendees and 30 reports from international speakers such as KJ ROCKER, VAN OAKES, Galina Bakusheva and Alexander Flint will take to the stage. At the exhibition he will be attended by more than 100 companies, partners and advertisers.
The main part of the conference, including exhibits and presentations, will take place on May 30th and 31st, but you can also extend the conference and attend pre- and after-parties. Here's a quick explanation of what to expect at each stage.
The main networking event begins the day before MAC. The traditional Preparty will be held on May 29th at 20:00. Participants particularly appreciated this part. Because at the pre-party you can meet the right people before anyone else, get the most favorable conditions for cooperation and receive exclusive information. Personal contact always plays a big role.
If you're attending a conference for the first time, you'll need to come to Preparty. This step may be the most helpful.
The big advantage is that you can register for the conference in advance and don't have to wait in line.
main part
On May 30th and 31st, you will be able to hear reports from top speakers at the conference itself. The organizers have personally selected everyone and everything here is at the highest level. It has probably been the only conference in the CIS in recent years with international speakers.

How can you make your conference as meaningful as possible?
I have created a small memo to help make the conference as meaningful as possible. It helps you meet the right people, collect contacts, introduce yourself to potential partners and team members, and of course get noticed at conferences.
1. It's a work meeting, so you can relax at the hotel. It is important to be mentally prepared for productive networking and acquiring new knowledge.
2. Develop goals for the conference. For example, assemble a team, find a partner, find an answer to a question, etc.
3. Research all interested participants in advance and create a short route. Therefore, it is very important to attend events such as Preparation to have more information and time for networking.
4. Correct collection of contact information. Probably many people have encountered the fact that after a conference there are hundreds of new chats on the phone, each with a sticker. You're lucky if you remember at least half of it. To avoid such situations, write a short summary about yourself and the person you met in the conversation and take a photo with them.
5. Create an electronic business card, for example using a QR code, describing your professional experience. Such business cards can also be sent in chat.
6. Ignoring the parties is not recommended. There are a lot of events at MAC, and in addition to the prep and after-parties, there are also plenty of parties from sponsors during the day. As practice shows, beneficial partnerships are often concluded in the relaxed atmosphere of a party.
conclusion
Conferences are worth attending, not only to talk about yourself and find affiliate programs and advertisers, but also to take a fresh look at your work and the industry you're used to and reboot. Affiliate marketing jobs rely on connections as well as statistics.
MAC is an event where you can not only conclude many beneficial partnerships, but also have a lot of fun. Early ticket buyers will also receive a huge discount of up to 25%. Tickets can be purchased from the MAC website.
