Today, Affiliate Summit West kicks off at Caeser’s Palace in Vegas. Today’s focus is the Meet Market, a low key exhibit hall-style set up where affiliates, networks and marketers can learn about what each other has to over and, as well, conduct actual business. Just think of it as yout typical exhibit hall with tables instead of elaborate booths.

Last night, a tweetup at Gilly’s inside Treasure Island kicked off the conference. Unbekowst to those of us that planned the event, the place was a full ob country bar and let us tell you…we have never before seen some of the most amazing line and couple country dancing. It gave us all something to look at while we chatted. Oh, that and the mechanical bull. Always good for a few laughs. Check out photos from the event here.

Tonight after the first day of the conference, things will get a bit crazier. Lots of parties. Lots and lots of parties. Here’s hoping we’re still standing come Wednesday when we all pack up and head home.
