    5. Affiliate Summit is Selling Out

    It looks like Affiliate Summit 2007 West is heading towards a sell out.

    In addition to big growth in the exhibit hall - it will be about 50% bigger than Orlando - the passes for Affiliate Summit are going fast.

    Based on historical signup patterns from the first five Affiliate Summits, it appears that this one is going to sell out early. And that's with having the most space yet for any Affiliate Summit.
