On Monday night, after the first full day of the show, ClickBank hosted an exclusive invite-only cocktail party at the famous 21 Club in midtown Manhattan. Some of our biggest clients attended and got a chance to meet with ClickBank staff members and network with each other. One of the highlights of the party, outside of the great venue, was the Clickbank Moneymaker, a custom cocktail co-invented by our own Dush Ramachandran and Terra Goeres. It was a delicious hit with the crowd, and we’re pretty sure that some big moneymaking deals were made over Moneymakers!

The crowd at the party included extremely successful vendors and affiliates from all over the world, including Israel, Poland, France, Switzerland, and more. One of the best parts of the event for us at ClickBank was hearing what features and services we should introduce to help make our clients even more successful. We got some great ideas for new features and shared some upcoming features we’ll be rolling out soon that were very popular with the crowd. All in all, the party was a huge success, and when it finally wrapped up, some great ideas had been shared and plans and partnerships made for the future. We look forward to our next party at Affiliate Summit West in a few months!

Below are some pictures from the event. You can see more pics from the event at our Flickr album.

Today we unveiled our brand-new booth, and it was a big hit on the show floor. We got a lot of great comments about the look, which stood out from the crowd quite a bit. Here are a few pictures:

The show floor was packed by mid-morning, and we met with many current and future clients. It was great to finally put a face to the names we’ve been working with for years. Many of the people we met with were very excited to see us exhibiting at the event, and to hear that our participation at these shows will just get bigger and bigger in the future!

After the trade show floor closed for the day, we geared up for our exclusive VIP Cocktail Party at the 21 Club later in the evening. More details and pictures from the party are coming soon!

The first day of Affiliate Summit East 2009 was a big success! The Meet Market was packed from before it opened at noon until after it was scheduled to end at 6pm. The ClickBank staff was kept very busy meeting many affiliates and vendors and discussing how we can help them grow their businesses and add ClickBank to their mix of promotional efforts.

Affiliate Summit East is bigger and better than ever this year, and it really shows. The Meet Market room was jam-packed with people meeting and networking, and the main event, which starts today, promises to be just as busy and eventful. ClickBank’s booth is set up and looking great (photos coming soon!) We’re excited to meet even more people at our booth today, and have members of the Clickbank staff ranging from client support to marketing to IT ready to answer questions and help affiliates work with ClickBank more effectively. We hope to see you on the floor today! Below are just a few pictures from yesterday’s Meet Market, but to see even more, visit our Flickr album.
