I just got back from Affiliate Summit Social Media in New York. This was our first niche event, where the content was focused on leveraging social media in affiliate marketing.

The keynote was delivered by social media and blogging expert, Don Crowther.

Tons of great information jammed into Don’s presentation. We videotaped it, and it will be posted up at AffiliateSummit.tv in the coming weeks, along with the other sessions.

I was live Tweeting the conference, and you can see my coverage, as well as Tweets from other folks at the show at http://search.twitter.com/search?q=affsum.

Jim Kukral was the Emcee and Moderator of the panels and kept the day moving along.

After the keynote, there were four panels covering video, social media case studies, monetizing social media, and working with social networks.

Thanks for everybody who came out. It was a different dynamic from the usual Affiliate Summits, where we have thousands of people, multiple tracks, and an exhibit hall across three days.

Affiliate Summit Social Media was a more intimate setting with a cap of 300 people.
