Attending Affiliate Summit NYC, August 9-11, 2009 in New York City

Posted by Marshall Sponder on July 28, 2009 | Link It

I was invited by to attend and live blog at the Affiliate Summit in NYC taking place on August 9-11th at the Hilton Hotel.

I’m familiar with both keynote speakers  Chris Brogan, President of New Marketing Labs, and Peter Shankman, founder and CEO of The Geek Factory and have met both, briefly, in the past.

Most of my readers don’t know this, but i was one of the attendee’s to the very first Affiliate Summit at Baruch College in 2004.  Since then, I haven’t attended one, but I’m looking forward to the sold out conference on August 9-11th.    I’ll also be attending LeadsCon East the following week, at the Marriott – live blogging it all while I find out the most interesting, I think, bits of information and news which will show up here, at Webmetricsguru.
