I get a lot of requests asking me what conferences I recommend to folks that are into affiliate marketing, search marketing and social media.
There's certainly a lot to choose from and since every dollar counts these days, I decided to put a list together of conference and tradeshows that I personally recommend and plan on attending this year.
If I run out of steam based on this schedule, my wonderful business partner Shawn will be there in my place.

If you're going to be at any of these events, let's make plans to meet up. I just love seeing old friends and meeting new ones.
If you're not going to make any of these, look for coverage of the events in upcoming issues of FeedFront Magazine.
Lastly, if you know of an established conference not listed here, that you think I should be attending, let me know. I'm always looking for new opportunities.
*Shameless plug. But hey, it's my blog, I can do whatever I want.
