"What an awesome event! As a speaker it was great to have so many smart minds eager to pick up that key takeaway to help drive their business forward. As an attendee, 250ok and MailerQ pulled together an insightful line up!”
On the 7th of November 2019, email industry professionals from around the world gathered in Amsterdam for the inaugural edition of the Global Sender Summit, a one-day conference with the most serious and educated email senders to share their knowledge and experience with their industry colleagues.
The event took place at Level Eleven, a venue with a unique 360° view over the beautiful historical city center of Amsterdam. Michael Linthorst, CEO of MailerQ and Greg Kraios, Founder of 250ok kicked off the day: "We are pleased to launch a global platform where professionals of the email industry can join to share their experiences, best practices, case studies and more. As much as we are looking forward to the launch of the event today, we are also already looking forward to the next editions of the Global Sender Summit in 2020 and beyond."

The speaker lineup was diverse and experienced, starting with Lacy Surber, Senior Manager High Touch Customer Success at Salesforce Marketing Cloud. Lacy’s session on email personalization and segmentation set the tone for the day. Her presentation echoed through the rest of the conference. Lacy emphasized the importance of customer experience and backed it with Salesforce research data: "Great experiences reap great rewards, with almost two-thirds of customers willing to pay a premium for them. 84% of customers say the experience a company provides is as important as its products and services."
The day continued by shifting focus to nitty-gritty parts of email and deliverability. The highly experienced deliverability panel consisted of Tamara Bond, Delivery Operations Manager at dotdigital; Steve Henderson, Head of Deliverability at Emarsys; and Stephen Ford, Deliverability Practice Manager EMEA at Adobe, and moderated by Anthony Chiulli, Director of Product Marketing at 250ok. The panel shared their insights and expertise on various hot deliverability topics, taking turns to answer both Anthony’s questions as well as taking ample time to reply to many questions fired up by the guests.
Similarly, the Q&A session between Anthony Chiulli and Antony Malone (Marketing Director at Booking.com) focused on digital and email marketing in a global travel and hospitality industry and also triggered intriguing questions from the audience on machine learning and personalization.
James Castro-Edwards, Partner at Wedlake Bell and Author of EU General Data Protection Regulation: A Guide to the New Law, discussed the basics of the GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive (which regulates unsolicited direct marketing) and how these impact email marketing. He also covered the enforcement activity since the GDPR took effect as well as the implications of Brexit.
We finished the day with an extensive presentation from Marcel Becker, Director of Product Management, Verizon Media. Marcel started off with a market overview, comparing it with a roller coaster as recent mergers and acquisitions are providing exciting times for the industry. Marcel emphasized the need for trust and partnerships between both senders and receivers. That with building trust between these players and collaborating, there could be far greater advances in the email industry, as he estimates the potential ROI in email could be as much as 8000%.
With follow up questions the last session concluded, and further discussions ensued during a lively reception. It was amazing to hear positive feedback from attendees as well as the speakers. We are sure to keep the positive energy and enthusiasm up for the next editions of the Global Sender Summit. We hope to see you there!
