Affiliate Summit East 2010 Discount Code and Highlights May 11, 2010

Posted by Andrew Wee in : affiliate marketing , trackback

A buddy of mine googled for “ASE2010 discount code”, “affiliate summit discount code”, “affiliate summit east 2010 discount code” and found discount codes for past shows, but couldn’t find one for the upcoming Affiliate Summit East 2010 in New York city, Aug 15-17, 2010 at the Hilton New York.

Frustrated, he bought 2 platinum passes ($1,249 each). I have Affiliate Summit discount codes that work, so I guess I could have saved him about $240 bucks. Oh well.

Here is the Affiliate Summit East 2010 registration link.

Be sure to use discount code/coupon code “ASE10WIAW10″ it’s good for 10% off silver, gold, platinum or diamond.

Being in New York, it’s not uncommon to find $700/night rooms. The Affiliate Summit organizers have got a pretty sweet $229/night deal at the Hilton. You can save even more with the $189/night non-refundable rate. Expect that with taxes and service on top of it, it’ll be another 10-15% more.

What’s new with ASE2010?

They’re changing the format in which sessions get voted. Previously it was just the Affiliate Summit advisory panel which voted for sessions. For the upcoming ASE2010, there’ll be a public voting segment at Slinkset to vote for your favorite sessions.

There’s a total of 32 sessions slot available (8 time slots with 4 concurrent sessions), plus possibly some spillover might go to the “Ask the Experts” tables.

As of right now the top 3 sessions are:

The biggest pain associated with voting will probably be having to register for a slinkset account.

But might be worth it to catch one of the speakers you want to hear from.

Here’s some other info about the event:

The info is direct from Affiliate Summit co-founder Shawn Collins:

1) I am guessing that proposal were voted in only based on Aff Summit advisory board votes in the past. Is this right?

Yes, the previous proposals were picked from the voting of the advisory board only – this is the first time to have public voting, and it will be combined with the advisory board voting to get a more comprehensive view on what people want to see.

2) Why the change to this new system?

We’re always experimenting with different ways to improve the conference, and we wanted to see if we could please more people on the content side by considering more opinions.

3) What’s the new weightage going to be? 50% public votes and 50% advisory board votes? If not, can you disclose what’s the ratio?

Yeah, that’s the plan, and we’re monitoring a few things to catch people who try to game the system.

4) With 29 votes for the top presentation and about 4,000 to 5,000 attendees per conference, do you feel it’s representative of the attendees needs?

The voting just opened yesterday, and it goes through May 14. Regardless of the final, overall number of people voting, we are guaranteed to have more voices represented in the process than we ever did in the past.
