Power Networking at Shawn Collins’ Affiliate Summit June 26, 2007

Posted by Andrew Wee in : affiliate marketing , trackback

Here’s some breaking news direct from Affiliate Summit co-founder Shawn Collins: “Affiliate Summit West (ASW) will be held in Las Vegas at the Rio Hotel on Feb 24-26, 2008.” I’ve been rousing my super affiliate posse to get them to block time on their schedules to make it to the event. Will you be there?

Having been to ASW in January, I’d have to say that the trade show experience is very different from educational seminars that most information marketers are used to going to. [Read: Affiliate Summit West 2006 Round Up]
Affiliate Summit brings together a huge network of affiliate networks and service providers. Contrary to what some might believe, the world of affiliate marketing and CPA marketing extends beyond just Clickbank and Commission Junction or CJ for short.

Hearing first hand from the affiliate networks and talking to other affiliates, it’s more an information-sharing type of event, rather than one where you have a speaker “teaching” you.

The afterhours parties are pretty awesome too.

The upcoming Affiliate Summit East (ASE) will be held in Miami, July 8-10.

There was some drama regarding WickedFire founder Jon Fisher’s announcement of a ASE exhibitor hall pass giveaway to members of the WickedFire affiliate marketing forum.

Apparently non-members tried to register and cause some consternation.

Well, every event always has some element of drama and I think it spices things up a little.

In case you’re wondering, as much as I’d like to, I’m giving ASE a miss this time as my schedule is full till the year end.

I’ll be making a beeline for next year’s ASW in Vegas though.

I was talking to Affiliate Classroom head honcho Anik Singal a little earlier. He wasn’t able to make it to ASW this year, but attendance at ASW 2008 is on the cards. He might be presenting or holding an extra session.

The problem with any great tradeshow is that you won’t have a chance to catch everything. At ASW, I missed Jim Kukral’s “Bloggers as the next Super Affiliates” session, but managed to catch the Shoemoney-Jon F-Andrew Johnson’s Super Affiliate session and most of PepperJam’s Kris Jones session on arbitrage.

Shawn’s already arranged to have the videos hosted online, though I will need to squeeze time out of my schedule to catch them.

If you’re still thinking about making it to next month’s ASE, the tickets may or may not be available. The site link is located at the end of this post.

Here’s a partial list of affiliate networks, merchants and affiliate marketing community members who’ll be at ASE (it’s a long list):

I don’t want put gasoline into the fire, but I had 3 exhibit hall tickets also. There was a sweepstakes over a month ago at SEJ
See the post.

Nobody responded.

I reminded people the next day here. Still nothing. The tickets went back to Shawn.

Maybe those are the ones John has gives out now. I hope he has more luck. Search marketing guys, what can I tell you. They have it too good, obviously. :)

Carsten,
When you’re banking I guess it might not make that big a diff.

PS: my bad, Cumbrowksi.com is listed as an attendee on the front page of AffiliateSummit.com

[...] Much as I’d like to, I won’t be making the trip down to Miami, although I’ve already told my wife that nothing is going to keep me from Affiliate Summit West at the Rio in Vegas in February next year. [...]
