5 Star Affiliate Programs

This is the official PRE-show thread. So if you want to ask questions about the show, tell us you're going and want to know who else is - THIS is the place to discuss.

Learn more about Affiliate Summit East here.

Once the show starts I'll start a new thread that covers everything I can found out about happenings at the Summit. Pictures, videos, sessions, parties, you'll be able to find it all here at 5 Star.

Before anyone asks, no I won't be able to make the show again this year.
But I will be here covering all the action!

Hi Linda,

Thanks for starting this thread. I have a feeling it will be a great one.

This will be our first time attending the show and we will be exhibiting as a merchant. I'm really looking forward to it.

I would like to point out that Affiliate Summit is featuring a mentor program for first time attendees this year. You can find information about this on the Affiliate Summit blog.

Hope everyone is having a good day,

Sarah

Thanks for mentioning the Summit mentor program Sarah.
Very good idea for first time attendees to have a "show buddy"!

I'll be there in full force! Looking forward to seeing you all again. I'm also signed up to be a mentor (they haven't paired anyone up yet) and moderating a panel if anyone wants to meet up or attend the session.

Be nice to see many of you again!

Wanted to bump up this thread since we're getting closer to the actual event - so who all is attending??

I'll be there exhibiting Share Results with my colleagues Le and Maranda.

Can't wait, and Boston seems like a much wiser choice than Miami for this time of year

I can't wait

Why are they moving it to boston this year? I was hopping for Miami

Julia · #8 (**permalink**) 07-16-2008, 08:30 AM

Not sure why they chose Boston, but it moves around quite a bit. Two years ago it was held in Orlando, and before that in New York and Halifax (?).

I enjoyed Miami a lot, however I found the July humidity a little hard to handle, I'm from Canada after all

I think Shawn normally has a vote before each show location is chosen. Or at least for awhile he did. Maybe after a couple years of votes and getting a firm consensus, they've now settled on Boston and Vegas for the near future. Not sure.
