This week we’re covering Affiliate Convention in Denver. It’s a first-time event for the organizers so it will be interesting to see how they do pulling it off.

There are lots of great industry leaders attending the event and tons of great sessions. Two events we’re really excited about is the keynote presentation by Peter Bordes called “Conversations on Affiliate Performance Marketing.” In addition to Peter, this talk will feature Steve Hartman of Ebay, Steve Schaffer of Vertive, Rebecca Madigan of the PMA and Wes Mahler of Prosper202. The session is at 9:00 AM on Friday, June 19th in Super Affiliate Room I.

The second event we’re excited about is a session called “Lead Generation Strategies” with our own Jivan Manhas. He’ll be covering ways to get better leads as an affiliate marketer. That session is at 11:30 AM June 19th also in Super Affiliate Room I.

We’ve also got some news from outside Denver. Microsoft’s new search engine, Bing is getting amassive ad push and the IAB Europe has released their 2008 report.
