Missing Out on Affiliate Summit West 2010

I am sad to say that I am not at Affiliate Summit West 2010 right now.  After the job loss back in November, I was not in a great position to attend the summit.  Thanks to everybody who is keeping us all updated with their tweets and daily posts.  Last August was my first affiliate summit in New York City and it was the greatest event I had attended.  I was still learning a lot of affiliate marketing because it was all pretty much new to me.  Direct marketing, SEO, and SEM were my specialties at that time and I wasn’t very familiar with social media.  ASE09 was the conference that brought me deeper into the social media world.

I was excited to attend this year in Vegas, so now I will have to wait until ASE10 in New York later this year.  Affiliate Summit is one of the best places to network.  Of course you learn a lot of different things from some of the best out there, but your networking opportunities are almost endless.  It allows you to finally meet these people that you have been tweeting back and forth with and commenting on their posts everyday.

For those of you that are in my boat, which is not in Vegas right now, I hope you are planning to attend New York  If so, I look forward to meeting all of you wonderful people.
