If you answered “no,” why not? 

First off, affiliates get to attend for free. So, grab a cheap plane ticket – or if you’re close enough, drive to the event – and get your friends together and pile into a hotel room. Then spend the next few days learning how to improve your business.

Second, look at the list of speakers! Keynotes from our very own CEO, Peter Bordes as well as Kris Jones from Pepperjam. Additionally there will be people from Ebay, Vertive, Clickbooth and Yahoo. Not enough you say? How about industry legends like Jeremy Schoemaker, Hamlet Batista, Heather Paulson and our own Jivan Manhas? There is definitely no shortage of talent at this event.

Third, you can’t forget the social aspects of a conference. These are usually the best opportunities to shake hands, have a drink and spend a little more time talking with potential partners. Affiliate Convention will have ample opprtunity for these types of interactions including a golf tournament, a pre-party hosted by the likes of Shoemoney and WickedFire, an “Affiliate Bash” hosted by Webmaster Radio and a closing day-two party.

Finally, we’ll be there covering the event for our blog and Relevantly Speaking. If you are a regular reader here, you know we’re always searching for interviews with the best and the brightest in the online marketing industry to share their wisdom. If you’d like to be a guest on Relevantly Speaking and you’ll be in Denver, please email me at sparentATmediatrustDOTcom.
