Weather in the low 80’s, chilled networking vibes and two days of exquisite networking with thought leaders in the affiliate and partnership industry. PI Live arrives in Miami on April 2-4 with a full roster of expert panellists, the US Partnerships Awards, and of course, Gen3 Marketing’s unique networking party, Paresh Connect. 

The three-day event has been a long time in the making for the team at Hello Partner, who began crafting the conference 18 months ago. Founder, Matthew Wood, is well versed in the intricacies of large-scale conferences, with the upcoming event being his 24th in the fast-paced world of affiliate marketing. Matthew says “We always work 12-18 months out. At Hello Partner, (formerly PerformanceIN) we are a small team of 20 specialists with conference producers, journalists and event specialists evolving and learning to help serve the community and industry we love.” 

Supported by every main network and Industry SaaS in the US, PI Live will be a place to connect, reconnect, and build profitable partnerships. Matthew adds “PI Live Miami is our first 2-and-a-half-day event that is dedicated to the retail side of the affiliate and partner marketing industry. We have designed the in-house curated agenda to give attendees ample time to mingle and network and have encouraged those peripheral events that make attending even more worthwhile.”

PI Live will represent the first affiliate conference Gen3 Marketing will attend as a unified singular agency, following the successful consolidation of all its acquired agencies. The Gen3 team attending Miami will consist of Nick D’Amico, Paresh Vadavia, and Lianne Heuvelink who will be taking part as a panellist on the session titled ‘The New Affiliate Marketing 101: How to Give Your Program A Spring Clean.’ Lianne shares “I’m thrilled to be joining industry friends and colleagues at PI Live Miami in a few weeks! As both a first-time attendee and first-time panellist, I’m looking forward to exchanging thoughts and discussing all aspects of affiliate marketing.”

Nick D’Amico, Vice President of Business Development at Gen3, is a seasoned attendee of US conferences, but the trip to Miami will be his first PI Live event. Nick explains “I have heard such positive things from my UK based counterparts regarding the scale and expertise of these events. PI Live will provide fantastic networking opportunities with contacts and potential partners, and of course, listening to Lianne speak on a panel will no doubt be a big highlight from the event.” 

Executive Vice President, Paresh Vadavia needs no introduction to US conferences. Having built a reputation for over 10 years, Paresh’s unique networking event, ParehConnect, has teamed up with Hello Partner to kick-start the conference on Sunday evening. Sponsored by UpSellit and SitePlug, PareshConnect Miami will attract the biggest and best from across the industry, providing networking opportunities and cultivating valuable relationships. Attendees can still RSVP for the event that takes place from 9pm, at Black Market Miami.

If all this was not enough, The US Partnership Awards will also take place during the conference, highlighting the individuals, technologies, and organizations that build and nurture exceptional partnerships. Gen3 Marketing, in partnership with impact.com has been nominated as a finalist in the ‘Best Affiliate and Partner Marketing Agency’ category. Gen3 has also been nominated as a finalist for two other categories; ‘Best Use of a Small Budget’ and ‘Together – We Solved That!’ 

PI Live Miami will be the first of many conferences in the USA for the Hello Partner team, as Matthew Wood adds “We would hope to build on the success of our first destination event taking feedback from all our partners to build something even more special in 2024. It is that continual feedback and improvement that we thrive on.” 

From dipping in the hot tub on the Upside’s rooftop terrace on South Beach, sipping cocktails at Oasis to discovering the very latest trends from the industry, PI Live is set be a unique, and an extremely busy conference.
