Get Ready for ShareASale’s Under the Stars Party & Fundraiser

ShareASale has been hosting their themed “Under the Stars” party at Affiliate Summit West and Affiliate Summit East for a few years now. It’s definitely one of my favourite events that take place during the show.

For the last few shows, I’ve gone along with their theme and donned appropriate attire:

ShareASale's parties are always lots of fun… and who doesn't appreciate an open bar?

On top of that, they always have something going on — whether it's a magician, great music, costume contests, photo booth fun, piano sing-a-longs and entertainers; the folks at ShareASale always show their guests a great time filled with networking opportunities.

This time around won't be different, but it will have a philanthropic twist — one that I'm VERY EXCITED ABOUT!

A Not-To-Be-Missed, Splendiferous Affair!

The ShareASale Under the Stars Party during Affiliate Summit East 2014, will take place on Sunday, August 10th from 8:00pm-11:00pm in the Broadway Lounge at the Marriott Marquis.

The theme for this year's party is “Dress Up Like Your Favourite Character from a James Bond Movie”.

It will be a Casino Night featuring an open bar, appetizers, the Magic of Joel Givens, a Photobooth and a Costume Contest. The first 100 guests through the door will receive a prize as well.
