Don’t Settle for Lobbycon at Affiliate Summit East 2013

by Missy Ward

The lobby of the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown is a great place to meet people during Affiliate Summit East 2013, but not so great if that's where you plan to spend the whole conference.

People may resort to the lobbycon (spending the conference in the hotel lobby) experience for a variety of reasons, such as lack of funds, the conference selling out, etc.

But there are a lot of reasons why you're better off getting a Networking Plus pass, at a minimum, for Affiliate Summit.

The Networking Plus pass, which costs $549, enables you to get into the Meet Market, Exhibit Hall, three keynotes (Rae Hoffman, Dr. Randal Pinkett, and Wil Reynolds), more than a dozen roundtable discussions, a choice of a breakout session on each day of the conference, and access to videos of all of the dozens of sessions at Affiliate Summit East 2013.

There will be more than four thousand affiliate marketers at the conference that you can meet over the three days. All of this for $549!

Don't put it off – we're on the verge of another sellout.
