Dear fellow forumers,

When it comes to site monetization knowledge, blogging, webmasters, ad platform advice and learning to maximize profits online, which are the best events/meetups to attend?

Adsgadget is attending BlogWorld's NMX 2013 event in January! Anyone attending?

Looking forward to your thoughts and feedback!
Thanks

Quick expert addendum: for publishers, bloggers and webmasters chasing real monetization gains, the best events are the ones that trade buzz for usable tactics. ’s mention of Adsgadget attending NMX and ’s note that NMX was “useful but not impressive” reflect a common pattern: large, general conferences are great for trend-spotting and contacts, but they often lack hands-on, revenue-focused sessions that move the needle.

Consider this practical selection checklist before committing time and budget:

  • Agenda with concrete case studies that include metrics (RPM/eCPM, conversion lift, A/B test results).
  • Hands‑on workshops, clinics or office hours where publishers can get live audits or setup help.
  • Attendee mix weighted toward other publishers and platform engineers, not only vendors.
  • Pre-event networking tools or attendee lists to book targeted 1:1s.
  • Post-event deliverables: slide decks, session recordings, and clear next-step playbooks.
  • Cost vs. expected outcomes: travel + tickets should align with projected tests or partnerships.
  • Vendor transparency: willingness to share contactable case references and raw results.

Practical tactics for getting value at any event:

  • Define two measurable goals ahead of time (example: increase homepage RPM 10% in 60 days).
  • Book 3–5 focused meetings with peers or platform reps rather than trying to “see everything.”
  • Capture a one‑sentence action from each session (what to test, who owns it, timeline).
  • For vendor meetings ask for benchmarks, trial terms and a reference publisher to contact.
  • Run 1–2 small experiments within 30–60 days and measure revenue impact — that’s the true ROI.

Caution: mega‑events are useful for awareness and networking; niche workshops and small roundtables usually deliver higher practical returns for monetization work. Given ’s experience, balance event size with depth, and insist on measurable outcomes before investing.

Do you mean this event?

Yes, I've attended it. It's well organized, useful and informative but not really impressive. Anyway, I have to compliment.
