My goals for initial affiliate summit were.

• Meet people & make business connections.

Thanks to wickedfire and #cakes chat and this blog this was way easier than I thought it would be.  Having already known a good group of guys online was really great because it made introductions easy.  I would say this goal was a total success, I met tons of people and business contacts. I now have 5 new verticals I am going to be looking into.

• Take a shit ton of photos to fill my empty blog gallery.

Totally failed here.. I have never been much of a camera whore or the guy that loves to bust out the camera. But I had thought it would be funny to have photos with all the major names in AM just for laughs. So… now I get to rely on photos taken by others to fill the gallery. So far ive only come across a few, I am sure more will turn up later.

• Acquire as much network shwag as possible since I got jack shit for Christmas from them. (Ive made business cards just for this.)

Pretty successful here to, I never did get my stakeboard deck from akmng but I did come away with a fair bit of stuff. In the shots above of my loot.

• Meet up with my affiliate managers/networks.

Also did pretty good here. I got to met my contacts at ads4dough, convert2media, pepperjam, and copeac. Sadly I was never able to catch Geoff at advaliant or Jim at xy7 guess ill have to catch them later.

All in all I had a great time. I met tons of people and partied like a rock star at several clubs. My campaigns did well and I even won money playing roulette at the casino.  If you have never been to an affiliate summit you have to go and check it out! Everyone had a great time and we have a TON of stories to tell.

Goals for ASW.

• Meet people & make business connections.
• Take a shit ton of photos to fill my empty blog gallery.

Kudos to AffAholic on WickedFire for the details on this.

Now as much as I love beer, I will be hitting up the paybar for some harder stuff. Nothing sucks more than showing up to a party and finding out the kegs are full of Budweiser or some other piss drink.

Needless to say as part of my plan to gets me a press pass next affiliate summit I will be taking photos of drunk attendees for future black mail and embarrassment.
