Affiliate Summit East 2011 Photo Recap

Posted on Aug 29, 2011 in Affiliate Marketing, Conferences & Networking | 2 comments

I’ve been back from New York since Thursday and I can easily say I’m still not fully recovered.  I’m always surprised at how exhausted I am after one of these shows, but given the fact that I work at home in relative calm and sedation, 3-4 days of getting up early, talking all day, walking all day, and going to bed late can really take it’s toll.

I finally just got all 250+ photos I took from Affiliate Summit and the surrounding events I attended up onto Flickr today.  So for now, instead of writing a long recap of words, I’ll share with you a recap in pictures.  You can see all the pictures in my Affiliate Summit East 2011 Set on Flickr.

What #ASE11 Sessions I’m Voting For

Posted on May 5, 2011 in Affiliate Marketing, Conferences & Networking | 1 comment

Let the games begin!  Voting has opened up for Affiliate Summit East 2011.  While some people have not been happy with this voting system, I think it evens the playing field nicely.  As well, it clears any conspiracy theories about how sessions are chosen.

Before I begin, I will say I have a horse in this game.  I’ve submitted a panel, The Future of Coupons in Affiliate Marketing, for consideration.  If picked, I’ll be moderating this panel with industry coupon veterans Mike Allen (Shopping-Bargains.com), Connie Berg (FlamingoWorld.com), Carolyn Tang Kmet (Groupon.com), and Kim Rowley (ShoppingBookmarks.com).  Please take a moment to register, confirm, then vote for our panel!

Okay, that being said, these are the panels I’m voting for.  All of them have very intelligent speakers, well thought out ideas, and will offer merchants and affiliates great insight into the topics.
