On August 11th and 12th the Affiliate Summit Conference will take place at the Boston Seaport Hotel. These conferences are widely recognized as the industry best event and is the largest US Affiliate Marketing conference. While the flagship event is held in January at Las Vegas, this east coast event promises to be extremely valuable and well attended.

Friend of NETexponent and Affiliate Summit co-founder, Shawn Collins, has graciously offered a 10% discount to NETexponent clients, partners, publishers, and blog readers. When registering for the event simply use the promotion code ASE08NETEXPONENT

NETexponent will be sending several folks to this event so please let us know if you would like to meet up. We will also have a booth so please stop by and say “hello.”

Here are a few reasons to attend:

• In-person meetings – strengthen your relationships with publishers, advertisers, partners, etc by having face-to-face meetings, there is no better way to build strong relationships
• Grow your business – the networking quality at this event is very high as many advertisers and affiliates should be in attendance (based on past experience) so get out and make some profitable partnerships
• Learn something new – sessions could be great for acquiring new best practices or even strengthening your own best practices through the knowledge that others in the industry follow the same
• Get help – your problems/challenges are not unique and you are not alone…meeting folks in similar situations could prompt new ideas for tackling current issues
• Meet us! – stop by our booth and meet the NETexponent team…we love connecting with folks at these industry events so please stop by and say hi

Tips for making the most of Affiliate Summit

• Send an email to let your publishers/advertisers know you will be in attendance and even include a photo so folks can recognize you. Schedule meetings where appropriate to ensure you meet up otherwise you could get lost in a sea of people.
  
• Bring plenty of business cards (at NETexponent we even bring biz cards for each of our clients affiliate programs since we know everything else goes in the trash before flights home)
• Arrive early and leave late, dont let your travel reduce your networking time
