Highlights from Affiliate Summit East 2010, where more than 3,500 affiliate marketers got together to network and learn in New York City on August 15-17, 2010.
The Affiliate Summit unConference, brought to you by SeaWorld, is taking place Monday, September 27 in Orlando, FL and tickets are sold out.
The event is taking place at SeaWorld in the same spot IZEAFest was in last year – Ports of Call.
If you’re not familiar with an unConference, it’s a whole different format from a typical Affiliate Summit.
The Affiliate Summit unConference will be in a format that creates an opportunity for peer-to-peer learning, collaboration and creativity. This is an event for folks that want to actively participate. (what is an unConference?).
