A bleary-eyed group of top Three Stars execs moped into work this morning after having spent the last several days in Las Vegas at the Affiliate Summit Conference. While there they did very little gambling (we hope), hardly any drinking (or so they say), and a whole lot of networking with affiliate marketing companies.
Affiliate Summit West 2009 was held January 11-13 at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino. Speakers included Larry Adams, product manager at Google; Anita Campbell, editor-in-chief of SmallBizTrends.com; Jim Jessup, Director of Marketing for Yahoo; and Zahid Kahn, the Marketing Director with Amazon. A bi-annual event, Affiliate Summit was first held in 2003 and continues to provide educational sessions on the latest industry developments as well as facilitating a networking environment for affiliate marketers from across the country.
Our company’s goal for this event was to not only put a face with the voice of our current affiliate partners, but to make as many new contacts as we possibly could. Our team did an amazing job meetin’ and greetin’ their way across the convention floor, filling a suitcase with business cards that can potentially offer our company new and exciting revenue streams.
As a bonus they were able to steer clear of the all-you-can-eat lobster buffets littering the town* and returned to us with their health relatively still intact. So, a big pat on the back goes out to our exec team for their outstanding work!
*Austin looks a little green, so he may be lying to us about this one…
