Early Bird registration is now open for Affiliate Summit 2007 West, taking place January 21-23 at Bally's Las Vegas.
Please note that there is only one place where we are collecting feedback, and that is in our feedback form at www.affiliatesummit.com/feedback.
I've been contacted by a number of people (those who did and didn't attend Affiliate Summit) that Richard Lewis of Return On Affiliate sent out a mass mailing with the succinct subject: "Invitation to attend How to Improve the Affiliate Summit event on returnonaffiliate.com Business Network from returnonaffiliate".
While we are delighted that there is such an outpouring of voices in the industry, we really need to have it flow to a central place due to the sheer volume of feedback.
As with each show, we appreciate all criticisms and endeavor to make any and all improvements for the future Affiliate Summits.
