Affiliate Summit East - Day 1

written by John Chow on August 10th, 2008

One of the main focus of the Affiliate Summit is face to face networking. To make sure affiliate have lots of face time with affiliate networks, the show features a Meet Market on the opening day. Merchants have tables set up to meet with affiliates to discuss their affiliate programs and build relationships. Vendors that cater to affiliates and merchants also have tables to share information about their products and services.

In addition to the Meet Market, day 1 features knowledge sessions from leading affiliate companies and marketers. The highlight session was put on by John Hasson with his speech entitled, Which PPC Engines Work And How?

Tonight, we have a dinner party with Ian Fernando and then a party with Share a Sale aboard some big boat call the Odyssey. I thought we would be taking a cruise of the harbor but apparently, the boat is just going to be docked so people can come and go as they please. Look for more coverage tomorrow.

I can’t believe the food wan’t any good. New England seafood is normally quite tasty but in the summer months it does tend to get a bit bland. Oh well, you should try it in the winter month it is much better.

Why did they have to put you on a boat if it didn’t leave the harbor.

Used to be you could get a lot of free swag from the Comdexes and CES’s, then their promo budget went dry. Now it looks like it’s affiliate networks that are ramping up the freebies.

I bet you walk about with pens, hats, and lanyards like crazy. It would be awesome to go, but time/family limit me.

Leaving a yacht docked is just easier - you don’t have to worry about forgetting anyone, and people don’t have to board by a specific time. I’ve been to a yacht party where they actually went out and it was GREAT, but I understand why leaving it docked is easier.
