I can't believe its time for
Affiliate Summit West again. Feels like I just got back from Affiliate Summit East in NYC.
Anyway I think I am ready:
Start a shitstorm around the panel i am speaking on
CHECK
Raise $10,000.00 for charity by whoring out myself
CHECK
Hold a contest to send someone to ASW all expenses paid
CHECK
Looks like we are set!
If you are headed to the Affiliate Summit I highly suggest you read my post on
how not to get sick and also my video (or personal plea) to attendees of conferences in general on
how not to be a toolbag.
I will be there from Saturday until Wednesday. If you see me please come up and introduce yourself! I love meeting and talking with shoemoney readers!
The Performance Marketing Industry Is Kicking Ass!
Affiliate Summit West is officially sold out & the performance marketing industry is thriving right now.
I have been invited to about 20 various parties and get togethers. Affiliate Networks are all fighting for attendees to come to their parties. Its like the SEO industry 5 years ago.
The networking that goes on at these events is priceless. Unless you are just completely an anti-social person you are really making a mistake not attending this event. I will tell you right now every multi million dollar business we have built in the last 5 years was conceived at industry events like the Affiliate Summit.
The only way to get a ticket right now is to pray some more spots open up (keep a eye on affiliate summit main page) or take your chances and
buy it on eBay.
Awesome Events!
Dr. David Klein (DK) as always is the most wired in guy when it comes to parties and events. If you are looking to get your foot in the door and connect with some of the biggest industry leaders I highly suggest you get to know DK. There is nobody more connected in the SEO or the Performance Marketing world.
DK emailed me this morning and said his events are filling up VERY fast so you need to contact him right away to get in on some of these things.
On Saturday DK is in charge of the following events:
3 PM - Fight Club with 6X Brazillian
Jiu Jitsu world Champion Robert Drysdale (If you are a fan of MMA or just want to impress your friends by telling them you rolled around with one of the baddest men walking the planet you must attend).
Affiliate Summit Charity Poker on Saturday night. Should be one of the BEST free networking events (it costs if you are playing).
Sign up here for that. (FREE Signup but must RSVP)
Daniel Boulud drinks/dinner at the Wynn Saturday at 6pm (pre poker)
Most of these events require registration. And they are limited so
sign up here.
The Parties Are Going To Be Sick!
I have been invited to so many parties its hard to keep count and the venues are sick. The companies have asked me not to reveal who is doing what. Don't get mad if you can't get into these. These companies blow 50-100k on these parties and if you have never done business with them the chances of you getting invited is .... well ... what do you think? So don't get pissy if you get turned away at the door. Step up your game!
Hope to see you there. If you can't make it don't worry I will have plenty of photos (and video).
