Affiliate Summit East 2009 - Las Vegas

We just got back from our first trip to Las Vegas, Nevada for Affiliate Summit 2009.  Thank you much to Shawn Collins and Missy Ward for throwing yet another great event.

Overall I would have to say that the last day of the event was the most useful to me.  I was able to actually get some alone time with a few of the people that I came to talk to and I made a few new connections.

Most disappointing was that we missed the first day on Sunday and by Monday, everybody was hungover and tired and all of the affiliate managers I was hoping to meet with and talk to were not in the right state of mind. For once, I did not go to the conference to party but to work.

Now that we are home, we are swamped with ideas and luckily I only have my business card out to about 10 people who I hope to speak with therefore limiting the number of harassing calls from networks trying to steal my business.

The event was great but I am not so sure about Vegas.  I can say that I am not a fan and it is not what I expected.  We had a blast hanging with Justin and Jonathan on Tuesday night and our hotel at the Venetian was beautiful.

See some of you at AdTech in April!  Enjoy the photos from the Summit below.
