Affiliate Summit Miami 2007 - PRE Summit Discussion

[JerseyGirl]

Sorry to hear you won't be there Linda, I have heard a lot of really nice things about you from a common associate, Evan.

For you guys that are going, as the AS gets closer in the next couple of weeks maybe we can arrange a 5 Star get together..

The shows are definitely a whirlwind, but I agree with Julia, it would be nice.

Linda, you're not going to the summit??

[JAmieF]

I will be attending with the Share Results team (Julia, Sarafina and Daniel).

Linda we should develop 5 star buttons to recognize other 5 star members at the show. We can hand them out at the Affiliate Summit. What do you think?

We just need a catchy slogan.......thoughts anyone?

"I am apart of the brightest affiliate forum" 5staraffiliateprograms.com

How about a secret handshake

[JAmieF]

That sounds like a great idea

[Julia]

I like the button idea....something small and cute

[Teli]

You guys are seriously tempting me to go. Still sitting on the fence because 1) it's local; and 2) it's Miami, which I assume would be a whole lot more fun than Orlando. The problem is that my July is pretty packed to hilt and I'm not sure whether I could make the time for it.

In any event, if I don't go, someone please send me a button.

Wiseguy - nope sorry not going to make this one either. I've missed the last 2 due to back and neck problems. It's just too hard for me to travel and deal with airport lines, conference chairs, hotel beds. The last convention I went to was WebmasterWorld 2 years ago and I had to change flights and fly home early due to pain.

I really SHOULD go - I really need the write-off and the contacts are invaluable.
It's killin me cuz I really need to be there, I just can't though.

I still have a few buttons from 2 Summits ago that say
"I'm a 5 Star Affliliate" with the 5 star logo thats in the banner
at bottom of the forum. That wouldnt work for the ShareResults team.

Could do...

5 Star Affiliate Marketers
Gather at the 5 Star Affiliate Forum

Or simply Proud Member - 5 Star Affiliate Forum

I really don't think people like wearing buttons though and
doubt anyone would put them on if I made them.

Well, I can't wait to go to this one. I'm sure things have changed juuuuust a bit, huh?

Going by myself and frankly, don't personally have any friends who're in this line of business, so hope to meet some new folks and make some new friends.

Affiliate Summit is definitely a different animal from Affiliate Force.

My partner Missy and myself were helping Herby back in those days, but disagreed with him on the direction, so we figured we'd go off and try it ourselves.

How about if you had a nice, shiny, free pass?
