Peter Shankman’s Keynote During Affiliate Summit East 2009

by Missy Ward

Affiliate Summit East 2009 took place at the New York Hilton on August 9-11, 2009.

Peter Shankman, founder of HARO, was that keynote on Day 3 of the conference.

If you were not able to attend the conference, (or were unable to wake up in time for the keynote) here's what you missed.

Peter Shankman was not only spot on when it came to the material he spoke about, but he was filled with some lively jokes that made me remember the good old '80's, when things were a lot more simple.

The next Affiliate Summit Conference & Trade Show takes place in Las Vegas, at the Rio Hotel on January 17-29, 2010.

Get Ready for the 2009 ShareASale ThinkTank

by Missy Ward

ShareASale just announced that the annual ShareASale ThinkTank is going to be held at the Resort at Pelican Hill in Newport Beach, CA on October 23-25, 2009.

The ShareASale ThinkTank is an exclusive annual event, designed to bring together top merchants and affiliates (along with the rising stars in both categories.) It's jam-packed with educational and networking sessions, PLUS a whole lot of fun.

To top it off, ShareASale pays for all of the invited affiliates' accommodations, food and entertainment. Trust me, this is one classy event. (Read my coverage from last year's ThinkTank)

They are currently taking applications from affiliate marketers who wish to attend the event. If you feel that you can contribute your ideas and knowledge to the group during ThinkTank, I definitely recommend that you submit your application.

I hope I get to see you there!
