Affiliate Summit East
- Thread starter BradGrant
- Start date
I'll be there and exhibiting.
The answer the OP's question of is it worth it, I'd give it a resounding yes. Even before MaxBounty when I was just an affiliate I found it was worth attending. The only real question you should ask yourself is what kind of pass you want. If I were you, I'd have a look at the agenda and decide if there are any sessions you are interested in attending and base your pass purchase on that.
You might want to take note that if you are interested in a particular session, the info presented will for the most part be very basic. If you already have a lot of experience in the topic being discussed, you won't get much value out of the session. If you know nothing about the topic, but are interested, you'll probably get some value.
You might want to stay away from panel discussions. In my experience, more than half the time is spent on introductions, self-congratulatory comments, self-promotion, and "my dick is bigger than yours" banter.

We just ended public voting on the speaker proposals yesterday, and the agenda will start filling out in the next week or so.
I'll be at ASE, in attendance all 3 days, as I'm only 35 minutes away on the LIRR. Ditto the meetup on 8th Avenue next week.
Just got 500 business cards printed up. I will hand a few out to drunken prospective customers and pimp the copywriting business. :rasta:
Oh, and I completely forgot to mention - I swear, unlike the last 3 affsum's I've been to, I will -NOT-, repeat, -NOT- have something come up when I'm supposed to meet up with Dullspace.
I say this after he sang "build me up buttercup" dedicated to me, woo'd me over and I shall never drop backlinks for anyone but him <3
Sitenote: http://ww.slow.com/readings/bofu1.mp3 is now my ringtone.

I got a free silverpass so I guess I'm stopping by ASE now.... any bar meetup plans more solidified since previous posts?
Exhibiting--new to this world, understand the basics but still learning. We pay ad bills for our clients and are looking to extend same to affiliates.
