Affiliate Summit is the Top Internet Conference

by Shawn Collins on April 13, 2011

I was chatting with Marc Ostrofsky, author of the upcoming book, Get Rich Click, at the Austin Internet Marketing Party, and he gave me an advance copy (thanks Marc!).

As I was paging through the book, I came across his list of the Top 25 Internet Conferences on page 222 of the book.

And I was happily surprised to see Affiliate Summit up in the #1 spot.

Our goal is to make Affiliate Summit the best return on investment of any event in the schedule of our attendees, and we’re always anxious to hear harsh criticisms, suggestions, and anything else.

Contact us any time – our contact form goes to the entire Affiliate Summit team. So many changes over the years, such as the current version of our name tags, the newcomer program, our method of session Q&A, and the first timer sessions I run, have been the result of your feedback.

Keep telling us what you want and we’ll do our best to give it to you.

Get Rich Click is coming out on May 2 – stay tuned for a review of the book from me.

Ned April 19, 2011 at 10:15 am: Congrats Shawn – The conference is great for Zappos Development Inc. – Most of the top affiliates for Zappos.com and 6pm.com show up and the sessions will bring about good internal debates about strategy.. The cherry on top is that I get to see strangers receive free hugs from Billy Kay.
Phillip April 14, 2011 at 9:58 pm: Nice going Shawn!! #1 Baby!
Gina April 14, 2011 at 9:23 am: Congrats guys! I agree with Evan. No brainer.
Evan April 14, 2011 at 8:48 am: No brainer!
Geno Prussakov April 13, 2011 at 8:16 pm: Very much looking forward to it, Shawn.
Dukeo April 13, 2011 at 6:16 pm: Maybe based on the level of awesomeness…

Congrats Shawn and Missy. Can’t wait for ASE!
Mike Sprouse April 13, 2011 at 2:57 pm: Way to go you guys! Well-deserved recognition!
Shawn Collins April 13, 2011 at 2:17 pm: Thank you! I will be reading it very soon and posting a review.
Geno Prussakov April 13, 2011 at 2:07 pm: There is a list of affiliate marketing conferences in another book too. Page 241 of “Affiliate Program Management: An Hour a Day”. Guess my top choice for the U.S. there.
Shawn Collins April 13, 2011 at 1:17 pm: Thanks

> I know a guy who’s close with Missy Ward

That’s Jim Kukral right now – the two of them are in San Francisco for ad-tech
Billy Kay April 13, 2011 at 12:59 pm: I can’t believe you’re saying this so calmly, like an interesting side note.

Jump up and down! Shout! Hug a stranger on the street!

We all knew from the 2nd year it was inevitable.

Personally, today I’m gonna’ go out and tell people I know SHAWN COLLINS! Rather then my usual… I know a guy who’s close with Missy Ward

Congrats!

Best, Billy Kay
Shawn Collins April 13, 2011 at 12:29 pm: Thanks – no idea what the list was based on.
Matt Pardo April 13, 2011 at 12:11 pm: Congratulations, Shawn and Missy! Any idea how he did the ranking?
