Affiliate Summit East 2010 Recap
August 19th, 2010
Written by: Beau Blackwell, Community Manager
We’re back from another great trip to New York City for Affiliate Summit East, and I’m happy to report that this show just keeps getting bigger and better!
We met with thousands of affiliates and vendors from all over the world, including many top ClickBank clients that made the trip from places as far away as Israel and Australia. We also met some new vendors with products that we hope will be great additions to the ClickBank Marketplace!

As always, the highlight of the Affiliate Summit shows is the opportunity for networking, and this show was no exception. Besides the thousands of people at the Meet Market and on the trade show floor, the many parties were a hotspot for meeting potential business partners. On Monday night, we hosted a private party at the beautiful Peninsula Hotel for a group of our top affiliates and vendors. It was exciting to see so many hugely successful Internet marketers in one place, sharing ideas and forming the basis for new partnerships. Thanks to everyone who came to the party!
Another aspect of the show that I enjoyed this year were the educational sessions. Unfortunately you always have to make tough decisions about which sessions to attend, but I was very glad I saw Clay Collins (an information product creation expert) and Scott Stratten of Unmarketing speak. They both brought really interesting perspectives to the Internet/affiliate marketing space, and were entertaining at the same time. Jeremy Schoemaker also held a great session on Facebook advertising, which is becoming more popular all the time, and our own Dush Ramachandran held an interesting and informative session with Frederick Vallaeys of Google’s AdWords division to discuss the “Google Slap.” There were many other interesting sessions this year—the content of the sessions keeps getting better and better with each show.
Even though it was a fast and furious few days in New York and I’m glad to finally get some sleep, it was another amazing experience, and we can’t wait to see many of you in January for Affiliate Summit West!

Great to see all of you the past several days! Thanks so much for your continued support.
I had this idea that I’d catch up on sleep when I got home. I guess I forgot about the four kids and two dogs back here.
It was great having you guys there as well and thanks for the great feedback. I agree with you on Scott’s presentation — he blew me away. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get into Clay’s or Shoe’s sessions but I’m chomping at the bit to see them when they’re delivered to us on video.
Thanks for the support, i love read this blog, please keep Up!
I think that this would have been one the best events one could have gone to. I’m sorry I missed it.
Anytime you have that kind of talent in one place, you know there is going to be a lot of ideas floating around in your head when it’s all over.
I hope to go to one of these summits and meet up with other affiliates at some point. Affiliate Marketing needs to be improved, it seems that too many things can go wrong so people to end up losing sales!
