G3 -
Making Trust a Priority
How IT can add value to a brand, while protecting users
from online threats
How IT can add value to a brand, while protecting users from
online threats. Getting C-level buy-in across an organization
and making online trust and brand protection is becoming job one
for many executives, yet getting departments and employees
aligned is often a major challenge. With growing political
pressures and decentralized responsibilities, aligning profit
maximization, security and privacy can become conflicting
goals. This session will provide insights from two of the
leading insiders who will share perspectives and war stories on
achieving these goals, often when there may be no obvious owner,
or immediate business value. While there is no silver bullet,
attendees will learn of the realities and business value of
email authentication, EV certificates and consumer education. |

abusing your customers - Review of frequency & relevancy best
practices
Melissa
Campanelli - eM+c Magazine (intro)
Michael Zanies
- IAB
Sal Tripi -
Publishers Clearing House
David Baker - AvenueA/Razorfish
Opt in is great, but what is the expectation of the user and
their inbox? This session will educate the audience regarding
best practices on frequency and relevance – making them aware
that “less is more” when it comes to email ROI. When senders
report spam and your email reputation and consumer perception of
your is impacted. While the privacy and sign up policy may
state they allowed to share names with third parties twenty
pages below the first screen, we all know consumers do not read
or necessarily understand the legalese. AOTA advocates clear
notice and consent in the first few lines, to align the sender
and consumers expectations. Best practices such as this are a
step towards self-regulation and provide a competitive advantage
to those who adopt, while preserving the value of their brand.

- IAB (moderator)
Sana Coleman
Chriss - FTC
Gary Warner - University of Albama
Alissa Cooper - Center for Democracy & Technology
This session will examine the issues and tradeoffs. Can the

criminal and deceptive business prosper? With Web 2.0, do we
need CAN-SPAM 2.0? This session will discuss the challenges
faced with legitimate businesses, while protecting the rights of
users. With ad tracking becoming top of mind, pressure is
mounting worldwide regarding user consent, control and

issues, mandates, technologies and solutions. They will discuss
the often conflicting needs of both users and companies (simple
