Back from Affiliate Summit
So we are finally back from Affiliate Summit!
I can only say that as always, affiliate marketing conventions are probably the best combination of fun and education that you can find!
First, Las Vegas is…well, Las Vegas. On Monday night we all went to the Ghost Room on top of the Palms Hotel and the view of the city from the 56th (?) floor was literally breathtaking.
Saturday night was the Affiliate Dinner followed by a private party at the Pure nightclub. It was so great to catch up with so many affiliates and affiliate managers and share ideas, experiences, and a few funny stories.
Sunday afternoon was the always fun booth set-up. Inevitably something always goes wrong with these things and it did this time again, but somehow we made it. That night we went over to the ShareASale party featuring a Sing-A-Long with their CEO Brian Littleton and a collection of affiliates and managers. Paul totally impressed me and the crowd by playing the drums and guitar and I and Michael Nunez of Suluta Management absolutely butchered Mr. Jones by the Counting Crows.
Monday and Tuesday were exhibition and classroom days. I literally met over 300 affiliates who are some of the greatest people I have ever met. I am constantly blown away by the creativity and dedication of you guys.
As always at these things, some of the best conversations came shortly before the sun rises and we are all exhausted, but this trip was well worth it and we are already looking forward to Affiliate Summit East in Miami!
