Affiliate Summit 2005 – Viva Las Vegas

April 15, 2005

By Bill Schnarr

The lights of the Las Vegas Strip aren’t going to be the only things shining in the desert this year.

After the resounding success of Affiliate Summit 2004, Las Vegas seemed like a natural place to host some of the world’s biggest affiliate-related talent for a four-day getaway into the bright lights, big city of Las Vegas, Nevada.

Attendants of last year’s Affiliate Summit 2004 are probably already drooling and getting their bags packed. It’s not surprising, considering the amount of talent and industry connection to be made at this kind of event, which just might be the perfect way for anyone interested in affiliate marketing as a full-time job to really give their business a kick in the pants and get going.

2004 Summit an Amazing Success

Affiliate Summit 2004 was set on a cruise ship that sailed from New York City to Nova Scotia, Canada and back over the course of four days. Why not Caribbean bound, you ask?

The plan worked perfectly. According to the numbers from the Affiliate Summit 2004, most lectures were standing room only, meaning that although people who came to the Summit weren’t getting the tan they might have hoped for, they were definitely getting more than their money’s worth in education.

Bringing in top talent in the fields of affiliate marketing, search engine construction and application, and the joys (and fears!) of e-mail, Affiliate Summit 2004 seminars were the jewel in the crown for organizers and a great time was had by all.

In addition, there was networking a-plenty to be had for anyone interested, with lots of friendships and acquaintances started and many more business partnerships formed.

In fact, James Martell, one of the leading affiliate marketers in the industry, was at the Affiliate Summit 2004 and "is definitely looking forward to attending the Affiliate Summit 2005 in Las Vegas", he said in a recent interview.

He "recommends that anyone seriously interested in doing some networking and finding out the industry secrets that the experts have under their hats should definitely attend this year. It will definitely be worth it".

Affiliate Summit 2005

If the business side-success of Affiliate Summit 2004 is kind of marker, then this year’s Affiliate Summit 2005 in Las Vegas is going to be another great way to touch bases with industry experts and professionals. Last year’s Summit was quickly sold out on business space, with a broad mix of small, mid-sized, and monster-sized companies making appearances, truly something for everyone.

Organizers are again going with an all-inclusive package for the Summit. It seems that this is the easiest way to get everyone together and keep them together so that they can all benefit from an intimate, friendly environment where everybody ahs the same goals: to form business partnerships and forge new friendships within the industry itself.

But exactly who could be so interesting and important to get in contact with that you would pack up and be forced to enjoy 2 days in exciting Las Vegas for?

Well, past companies that have sent representatives include the 1-800-FLOWERS chain, A&E Television Networks, NASCAR, The New York Times, Disneyland Resort, ESPN, and T-Mobile just to name a few. In fact, in the past 2 years, over 300 different companies of all shapes and sizes have become involved in the Affiliate Summits.

With two successful Summits already completed (both were fast sell-outs for companies trying to get involved), you can bet that these companies (and many more!) will be lining up to take a shot at Affiliate Summit 2005.

These summits are quickly become a necessary engagement as more and more companies come on board with affiliate marketing. Shouldn’t you be here, mingling with all of these talented and hi-profile industry leaders?
