A buddy of mine googled for “ASE2010 discount code”, “affiliate summit discount code”, “affiliate summit east 2010 discount code” and found discount codes for past shows, but couldn’t find one for the upcoming Affiliate Summit East 2010 in New York city, Aug 15-17, 2010 at the Hilton New York.

Frustrated, he bought 2 platinum passes ($1,249 each). I have Affiliate Summit discount codes that work, so I guess I could have saved him about $240 bucks. Oh well.

Here is the Affiliate Summit East 2010 registration link.

Be sure to use discount code/coupon code “ASE10WIAW10” it’s good for 10% off silver, gold, platinum or diamond.

Being in New York, it’s not uncommon to find $700/night rooms. The Affiliate Summit organizers have got a pretty sweet $229/night deal at the Hilton. You can save even more with the $189/night non-refundable rate. Expect that with taxes and service on top of it, it’ll be another 10-15% more.

What’s new with ASE2010?

They’re changing the format in which sessions get voted. Previously it was just the Affiliate Summit advisory panel which voted for sessions. For the upcoming ASE2010, there’ll be a public voting segment at Slinkset to vote for your favorite sessions.

There’s a total of 32 sessions slot available (8 time slots with 4 concurrent sessions), plus possibly some spillover might go to the “Ask the Experts” tables.

As of right now the top 3 sessions are:

—

74 points

–

60 point

–

The biggest pain associated with voting will probably be having to register for a slinkset account.

But might be worth it to catch one of the speakers you want to hear from.

Here’s some other info about the event:

The info is direct from Affiliate Summit co-founder Shawn Collins:

2) Why the change to this new system?

3) What’s the new weightage going to be? 50% public votes and 50% advisory board votes? If not, can you disclose what’s the ratio?

4) With 29 votes for the top presentation and about 4,000 to 5,000 attendees per conference, do you feel it’s representative of the attendees needs?

5) If not, will there be any manual intervention for session approval?

6) How big do you expect the attendance to be at the upcoming show?
