I cannot wait for my favorite conference of the year, Affiliate Summit West, that is coming up in January! I am really excited for this year... like... really excited. Of all the shows you NEED to go to... this is it.
The reason that Affiliate summit is so powerful is the networking. It's simple... networking is one of the major keys to success in this industry.
I've complained since the first affiliate summit... the parties always have crazy loud music, tons of drunk people (free alcohol seems to have that effect), and can easily turn into a pitch fest. Sure those are all good at times but as far as networking goes, it can make things fairly difficult.
Free Networking Event
One of the ideas that I had was to put together a time and location where any affiliate could come to a specified place just to chat about affiliate marketing, network, and hang out. There would be no speaker or any structure. You know... good ol' "let's chat about the industry" time. No overbearing loud music, no free alcohol, no strippers. Just good ol' fashion chatting. Go figure.
I'm still trying to pin down a place / time for this so I'd love to hear some suggestions.
One idea I had was to rent out a large room. Another idea I had was to just meet outside somewhere that was publicly accessible. Not sure - need suggestions.
Let me know what you think and if you'd be willing to go or not!
