The annual conference and trade show attracts representatives from vendors, networks, online publishers, technology providers, digital agencies, traffic sources and other solution providers involved with the performance marketing industry. As of December, registrants hailed from 70 countries, with the most foreigners coming from the U.K., Israel and Germany, respectively. The summit is popular enough that slots are being sold on eBay and Craigslist, reports the event website.

One hundred industry movers and shakers are set to speak on a wide variety of topics ranging from “How to Become a Millionaire Blogger” to “Advertiser’s Crash Course in Influencer Marketing” to “Affiliate Niches: What’s Hot and What’s Not in 2017.” The three keynotes:

Dolan now oversees the paid search division for his Houston digital marketing firm PushFire.
