Keynote speaker Jason Calacanis kicked off the official part of Affiliate Summit’s program track on Monday. The controversial blogger and Internet entrepreneur stirred things up a bit by focusing on the part of affiliate marketing that has a reputation for perpetrating tactics perceived by the mainstream market as spamming or not providing any value. This seemed to rankle some in the audience, but also drew praise from those that felt the brutally honest outside look at the industry was much needed. He also praised affiliate marketers as a very smart group of folks and encouraged them to think even bigger when developing new sites. Check out Sam Harrelson’s live blogging of the keynote.
The other sessions were packed with lots of great information and the exhibit hall floor was the biggest ever at Affiliate Summit. The Revenue booth was packed. There was also a fun and lively live auction of domain names by Moniker.com followed by the Pinnacle Awards ceremony. It’s an impressive list of winners. Congratulations to all that were honored with awards. It was well deserved.
Monday night’s huge Affiliate Bash party at Tao was raging long into the wee hours. Thankfully, I left at a reasonable hour to insure I had enough sleep to be fresh and alert for my panel this morning. If you’re at the show come by at 11:30 and learn more about how to get media coverage. I think it will be a great session.
