The group rate is $309 per night, which includes in-room high-speed internet access for up to 5 devices.

By the way, if you are contacted by a company, claiming to represent Affiliate Summit, which says they have an amazing deal on rooms and need your credit card, it’s a scam.

DON’T Go to Affiliate Summit East 2017

May 22, 2017 by Shawn Collins

Dear Digital Marketer,

Please be advised — if you’re looking for the following, do not register for Affiliate Summit East 2017…

Unsure about whether to go to Affiliate Summit

Small Crowd?
I’m afraid not. There will be several thousand attendees at Affiliate Summit East 2017. That’s a lot of conversations you can have with people who may be a future partner, vendor, mentor, etc.

The good thing is that there are a variety of ways to filter the crowd to find the right people for you. You can make a big event smaller by taking a strategic approach, but if an event is smaller, there isn’t really a way to multiply the opportunities.

Take a look at our Newcomer Program to have a conference veteran assigned to help you around the conference. Also, you can start networking now by joining our networking community, installing the conference app, and RSVPing on Facebook

Meet Market at Affiliate Summit East 2015

Travel to Remote Locations?
Not so far. We poll attendees on which cities they’d like Affiliate Summit to be in. Over the past decade, the people have chosen New York City most years for Affiliate Summit East (also Boston, Miami, Orlando, and Philadelphia).

Attendees at Affiliate Summit are a broad sample of people coming from six continents and dozens of countries who enjoy this world class city and the large volume of nonstop flights into the three area international airports.

Buy Courses from Gurus?
Um, no. The only thing you need to buy from Affiliate Summit is a pass. After that, you should only be opening your wallet for meals, cabs, etc.

We strictly enforce a policy of speakers not selling from the stage, so you can focus on learning from our faculty of experts in the keynotes, roundtables, and breakout sessions. And past sessions are available to watch on YouTube for free.

Affiliate Summit Sessions

Eat Boxed Lunches?
Nope. Real food is our thing. We provide fresh food buffet breakfasts and lunches on Monday and Tuesday, as well as Sunday snacks, to VIP pass holders.

Be in an Uptight Atmosphere?
No thanks. Some people wear business clothes and others wear shorts and t-shirts. It’s up to the individual. You don’t have to shine your shoes to be professional. There is no business uniform at Affiliate Summit. Be comfortable, be natural, and be productive.

Party at Affiliate Summit

If, however, you’re looking for an opportunity to do business with thousands of digital marketers and learn from leading minds in a variety of online business areas, we’d love to see you in New York City.

Sincerely,
Missy Ward and Shawn Collins
