Join the Affiliate Summit Team for the Runyon 5K

by Shawn_Collins

Affiliate Summit is sponsoring a team of runners for the Runyon 5k, which is taking place Sunday, August 12 at Yankee Stadium. This is the first day of Affiliate Summit East 2012.

2009 Runyon 5k

I ran the Runyon 5k a few years ago, and it was a fantastic experience.

The Runyon 5k is a unique cancer research fundraising run/walk that uses Yankee Stadium as its course. You can run or walk the concourses and ramps, climb stairs between levels, and take your own victory laps around the warning track that circles the field.

Affiliate Summit will cover the $40 registration fee for anybody who joins the Affiliate Summit team. Runners are responsible for their minimum of $60 in fundraising.

We’ll also get shirts for anybody running on the Affiliate Summit team (I wish I could, but there’s too much with Affiliate Summit that morning for me).

After the Runyon 5k in 2009

100% of all donations raised in support of your run/walk will go to innovative cancer research by today’s best young scientists, funded by the Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation.

If you’d like to participate, please join our team for the Runyon 5k and then email your confirmation to us, and we will reimburse you.

Let us know how to make out the check, where to send it, your phone numbers, and your shirt size.

Meet Me at #SXSW and #BlueGlass

by Missy Ward

I can't believe we're heading into the end of February already!

As 2012 seems to be flying by already, I wanted to make sure that I had the opportunity to connect face-to-face with my readers, if the opportunity arose.

So, just a head's up that I will be attending:

SXSW:

March 10-16, Austin TX
Affiliate Summit will be exhibiting during SXSW again. Swing by booth #424 in the Exhibit Hall at the Austin Convention Center and chat me up. [Expo Hours: Mon. – Wed. (3/12-14) 11:00AM-6:00PM or Thurs. (3/15) 11:00AM-4PM.]

BlueGlass

BlueGlass LA April 23-24, Los Angeles CA

This will be my first BlueGlass event (although I attended its predecessor (IMSB) back in 2009 before it became Search and Social). What I liked about it back then was the intimate setting that facilitated one-on-one networking with their ridiculously smart speakers and attendees.

Looking at the agenda, lineup of speakers and the 125-attendee limitation, it looks as though that hasn't changed. (Yay!)

If you're planning on attending either of these events, let me know. I'd love to meet up.
