Missy Ward and Shawn Collins, co-founders of Affiliate Summit, have decades of combined experience in the area of affiliate marketing – Missy starting in 1999 and Shawn in 1997.
In 2003, the pair founded Affiliate Summit for the purpose of providing educational sessions on the latest industry issues and fostering a productive networking environment for affiliate marketers.
Attendees at Affiliate Summit events break out into seven main categories: affiliates, influencers, affiliate managers, advertisers, OPM's/agencies, solution providers, and networks. Affiliates and influencers typically account for about 30% of the attendees at Affiliate Summit.

In 2017, Clarion Events acquired Affiliate Summit Corporation, which includes the Affiliate Summit tradeshow and conference, FeedFront Magazine, GeekCast.fm, ReveNews.com, and the annual AffStat industry benchmark reports. Missy and Shawn remained as Co-CEOs of Affiliate Summit until July, 2020 and continue to run their own niche affiliate sites.
