Affiliate Summit. What to Expect if You Go. What You'll Miss if You Don't

For those not attending Affiliate Summit in Las Vegas Sunday through Tuesday, feel free to skip this piece. Unless you want to know what you're missing...which is a lot. This year's West show is the largest Affiliate Summit to date with over 3,000 registered attendees.

Affiliate marketing is a segment of marketing that doesn't get much mainstream advertising press. Why? Because it doesn't consist of sexy, :30 spots made by primadonna ad agencies which are concerned, mostly with winning awards. Affiliate marketers, on the other hand, care mainly about one thing; making money.

Two great articles on the conference are here and here. They tell you what to expect, what to bring, what to wear, how to stay in touch so you know what's going on every second of the show and a whole lot more.

You can read what we've written on the conference here, here and here.
