Don't want to hate but it has given 0 value to me. It has been a one big pitch fest. Honestly, Vortex's 40-day tutorial is 1000x more valuable.

I was personally shocked when watching one of the FB guys.

The moment when he had shown how well organized are his camps, and to what level he can drill down each little piece of each lander and compare how it performs.

Just WOW. (link: https://www.adworld.online/app/talk/171)

Besides that - I saw one talk that was literally just a guy trying to boost his email list by giving away the "Book" he wrote.

Rest - can't tell, got plenty of not-watched talks that I want to catch up in the following days

I didnt have a chance yet to watch all of them, basically I screened some, watched some in full, some are yet on my want-to-watch list It's a lot of speeches so it's definitely gonna take some time.

To sum it up, as with any conference, online or real... there have been some lower value speeches, some good ones and some excellent ones. I liked those about influencer marketing a lot, for example. As I don't do any podcasting, I personally didn't find much value in those talks ... I'd say you just have to find the ones that relate to your business specifically.

I have 2 questions for you:
- what were you waiting for? If it was step-by-step campaigns, then that was probably the wrong event. There was an event earlier this year, during which twinaxe detailed push strategies for one hour, that was much more suitable for beginners.
- did you have a theme you wanted to focus on? I understand that if you watched the full 3 days, you may have had that feeling. At the beginning, I asked their support if they had presentations in PDF. They sent a folder with all presentations. I was able to skim through all presentations and eliminate around 50%. Then I eliminated ecom / podcasting / influencers / SEO / amazon / agencies, and I was left with around 10-15 conf.

I found some interesting one like
- Kris Sugatan - How to Build a High-Performance Team With Less than 1% Turnover Rate
- Justin Brooke - How To Generate 10,000 Leads a Day With Google Ads
- Natasha Takahashi - Generate Immediate ROI with a Chatbot

Worst for me was Daniel Hernandez - Leveraging AI to Uncover Your Companies' Weaknesses. Pure corporate BS without any value.

My 2 cents for future editions:
- avoid .KEY as the format to download the presentations. Some villains like me still use Windows, and it is a pain in the ass to have to convert each presentation from KEY to PDF. Hopefully the support was reactive in sending all PDFs.
- have a video player that allows x2 speed when watching recorded. It was avaible at the begining, but I guess you had to change platform during day 1.

Going through the presentations while I'm working.

Not so much true "affiliate" content IMHO, but then it's called "Adworld" and not "Affiliate World", so I get it, the focus is on much broader audience than affiliates.

There are definitely some good ones and even if there is only 1 takeaway from those 100 of speeches, it's worth it.

Some I liked so far (though it's all about what are you looking for):
- Amazon Secrets for 2021: Traffic, Attribution and Ranking Techniques by Zack Franklin
- The First 60 Days: Accelerating from 0 to 100 in Affiliate SEO by Matt Diggity
- Re-energize your SEO: Top Hacks for Competitive Advantages and Cost Reduction by Craig Campbell
- Master the Core Principles for Designing a Desirable Business that’s worth 5-10X at Sale by Jason Akatiff
- Save Your Money: The Proven Code For Paying Zero Tax on Your Affiliate Business by Umar Afzal
- Hotseat: Neil Patel’s Advanced SEO Hacks for 2021 by Neil Patel

Though some speakers are repeating themselves, telling the same story every year, especially if you've been listening to them for some time ... and then there are those "superstars" whose goal is to presell you into their courses, books and whatever ... but you still can find some nuggets here and there.

Keep posting the good ones, I still believe there are some hidden nuggets!

If It would be live, where mistakes are made live, it'd be way more fun IMO.

But when its a recording that you can watch on demand, it loses the 'conference' flair.

Can't wait for covid shit to end, and affiliate world to return, the only conf I go to each year!

@jeremie @erikgyepes

I do agree with some points. It did have value for some people but not for me. From my own perspective, I am learning paid pop ads but there was nothing related to that. So everything is just out of scope with what I am doing right now and it would cause a shiny object syndrome. The first column was mostly SEO speeches, the second column - amazon FBA speeches, the third - influencer marketing speeches. Not so much paid advertising. Except from some Facebook and Google advertising.
