PDMI Winter Seminar Series

As 2025 unfolds and the new presidential administration continues to change the regulatory game — particularly in areas affecting performance marketers, such as the FTC's consumer protection regulations, data privacy, and more — the PDMI Workshop Council welcomes a group of experts in these key areas to discuss what they're seeing right now, and their expectations for the rest of the year. Speakers include: Harold Hance, Leap Fulfillment; Daniel Kaufman, BakerHostetler; Mark Poczatek, Verde Payments; Dan Thompson, PlusOne Company; and Randal Shaheen, BakerHostetler (moderator).

Consumer response and e-commerce storefronts are as fragmented as the performance media that drives new customers to buy new products. Social media, affiliate marketing, buy-now, pay-later platforms — and more: all of these concepts were meant to make driving and closing sales easier for performance marketers, but they’ve come with their own complications. Join the PDMI’s E-Commerce Council and leading experts as they tackle the question marketers and brands are asking more and more: is it harder now to get a paying customer? Speakers include: Eileen Fraser, Intelligent Handshake; Brian Young, IPPay/Verde Payments; and Gregory Silvano, Buyist (moderator).

On Wednesday, Oct. 16, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) announced the passage of new rules covering negative-option and subscription marketing efforts. While the new rules — now dubbed the “Click-to-Cancel” rule by the FTC — still contain many concepts that performance marketers should maintain awareness of, three key items that appeared in the Commission’s initial Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) were removed from the final rule after the PDMI and other industry groups pushed back. Buyist's Gregory Silvano, chair of he PDMI's E-Commerce Council, welcomes a pair of PDMI member experts — BakerHostetler's Linda Goldstein and Solvpath's Carl D'Agostino — to discuss what the new rule means for anyone working in the D2C space.
