PartnerCentric President Linda Woods will moderate a panel discussion this week called "Social Networking and Affiliate Marketing" at eComXpo, the virtual tradeshow for e-commerce marketers.

Panelists will explore early successes in the monetization of social networking sites by affiliate marketers. They will also offer insights for e-commerce marketers who are trying to align their businesses to gain customers and revenue from social networking sites and technologies.

Woods will be moderating the panel, which will include:
- Stephanie Agresta , President of Stephanie Agresta Consulting
- Jamie Birch , Director of Affiliate Relations for Converseon
- Jonathan Miller , CEO of ForgeBusiness USA

"Most marketers and merchants are hearing the buzz about social networking, but they don't really know how to achieve any kind of measurable result," said Woods. "Fortunately, there are encouraging examples of success in the monetization of social networking. Our panel discussion will explore these stories in order to help marketers bridge the gap between buzz and business opportunities."

The panel discussion "Social Networking and Affiliate Marketing" takes place from 3 to 4 p.m. Eastern Time on Wednesday, Oct. 10. The discussion will be followed by a question and answer session. Admission to eComXpo's panel discussions, as well as the virtual trade show floor, is free of charge. For more information, and to attend the Social Networking panel discussion, visit www.ecomxpo.com.
