Affiliate Summit 2004

A bit late (Wednesday - June 23, 2004) but may be of interest. (May run again next year)

Yes the Summit is going on again next year and I heard lots of great reports about how well this last one went. Wish I would have been there.

Here's kind of a fun overview about some of the people that were there and what it was like from Revenews.

I was there for the first time this year and can provide you with these insights:

Content wise - the Conference was a bit of a let down (well, except for Declan Dunn who is always great).

Networking wise - it was the most brilliant Conference I have ever attended (and I go to 7/8 each year).

Whoever decided to have a conference on a boat is a genius. Not only is it great fun, but basically you have direct access to the attendees/speakers for the entire event. There aren't many places to hide on a boat!

As an affiliate marketer, I was in heaven. 90% of the attendees were marketers looking to establish relationships with affiliates.

I walked off the boat with a bag full of cards and have already paid off the cruise with one deal...

As soon as next years cruise is announced - I'm signing up.

Thanks Microtel,

My partner Linda Woods from www.partnercentric.com was on the cruise and was one of the speakers. Were you able to network with her? She said it was the best Summit so far.

Wow, it's good to hear such rave reviews.

I was a little skeptical about the whole "cruise" idea, but I'm glad to hear it was so worthwhile.

What genre of merchants/affiliates seemed to be the most prominent?

Looks like I've got another one to mark on my calendar next year!
