WOW! I just finished up another Affiliate Summit. These Summits just keep getting better and better. If you’ve never been to a Summit, there are essentially three components: learning (sessions and sharing with others), networking, and of course the parties. Ok, maybe two components… you could put the parties under the subset of networking.
I really really enjoy the networking* side of the conference. It’s my favorite part. (*networking is not the best word for what is really happening here. It’s really making new friends.) For months, most of us are locked away isolated in our offices with only forum postings, IM and email to keep our sanity. We sorely miss that human connection. Affiliate Summit provides that human connection - in spades! I love meeting new folks, putting faces and stories with the names I’ve met over the Internet and reinforcing old relationships. Overwhelmingly this is a very supportive and family-like group of people. OH!.. another really cool aspect of Affiliate Summit… you don’t have to EXPLAIN what you do. We all “get it” here. It’s a common bond. How many times have you said “I do affiliate marketing” to a friend and you get a blank look in return. 
I’m bringing back a lot of great tips and techniques for me to become a better OPM (outsourced affiliate manager) and a whole lot more to share with my affiliates to help improve their conversions. There’s a LOT to learn at the summit. Quite often I hear folks saying “my brain is full”.
I can’t say enough good things about the Summit. This is my second and I wish I had started coming years ago!
