Back from ad:tech NYC 2007

I’m catching up now from a whirlwind three days at ad:tech NYC 2007. This was one gigantic monster of a conference. I heard various figures from people on the attendance, but the average tended to be around 10,000 folks registered.

There were three floors of booths packed in at the Hilton New York – so many that I didn’t come close to seeing all of them.

But I had an excuse. I was camped out at the Affiliate Summit booth for a good part of the time.

Big thanks to everybody who came by – it was great to spend some time with so many folks that have come to past Affiliate Summits, as well as those who just learned about the conference during ad:tech.

It’s always great to catch up with folks I haven’t seen in a while. For instance, I caught up briefly with SEO kingpin Kevin Lee today, and he mentioned that he just had a new book published: The Eyes Have It.

Time to pick up a copy. The subtitle is “How to Market in an Age of Divergent Consumers, Media Chaos and Advertising Anarchy.” Sounds interesting – congrats, Kevin.

Here’s a shot of me with the famed infomercial star Matthew Lesko near our booth…

It was a great time for networking, and I’m sad to see it end. Lots of folks were hopping plans to go from ad:tech to Blog World Expo, but I need to get back to things here.

I’ll be following the action from Vegas via Twitter, so keep the stories coming Brian Littleton, Sam Harrelson, Jim Kukral, Missy Ward, and others out there.
