Over 3,000 Attendees at Affiliate Summit East 2009
Posted by Shawn Collins on August 13th, 2009
The final numbers are in for Affiliate Summit East 2009 and we ended up with 3,076 attendees – the biggest Affiliate Summit East to date.
We are very excited about the growth during such a fragile economy – it’s a testament to the strength of the affiliate marketing space, even during a recession.
As far as the types of attendees at Affiliate Summit East 2009, once again the biggest group were affiliates.

Very nice!! I thought this one had around 2,500.
Over 1/3 of attendees = affiliates (nice! I certainly noticed this during the show; lots of valuable connections).
We initially thought we’d get to 2,700, but were happy to surpass it.
Awesome. It definitely had that big show feel to it like Adtech NY. NY was a great location for East, I hope you keep having it there. Lot’s of great affiliates and merchants to meet. Not at all over-run with network types, in fact they seemed in the minority. I do my best to invite the affiliate masses to your next shows.
Thanks Evan – we’re always working on initiatives to increase the numbers of affiliates.
Huge increase Shawn – congratulations to you and Missy for organizing this exciting event.
It was a very positive, friendly, educational experience for everyone I talked to
Thanks Heather – we really appreciated all you did to help!
