Where:<\/strong> Hilton New York<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nI suggest flying in or getting there on Saturday and taking it easy during the day and meeting up with friends or arranging meetings that evening.<\/p>\n
Some affiliates have been known to party hard on Saturdays before the conference begins, then have to nurse a pounding hangover the next 3 days. Generally, not very fun.<\/p>\n
New York is generally more expensive than Las Vegas (where Affiliate Summit West is typically held).<\/p>\n
The turnout tends to be smaller than ASW – this means you have more time to meet up with your advertising or CPA network reps, and have more time to networks with other affiliates.<\/p>\n
Vegas seems like a flurry of parties and non-stop meetings, so the pace at New York might better suit you if you’d like to turn things down a notch.<\/p>\n
Having said that, ASE2011 will feature 4 keynote speakers – I’ve heard Seer Interactive’s Wil Reynolds speak a number of times and he always delivers great stuff. I had a look at the other 3 speaker’s bios too and they looked pretty interesting, even if you’re probably not going to follow their business model.<\/p>\n
As always, be sure to check out the Meet Market on Sunday, even if you might miss some workshop sessions.<\/p>\n
The conference sessions look interesting, although the speakers aren’t all listed yet (I believe they’ve probably not submitted their speaker agreements yet).<\/p>\n
I’ll post more about the sessions as more info become available in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n
In the meantime, you might like to get your ticket.<\/p>\n
Which one to get?<\/p>\n
If it’s your first time, you might like to get the Diamond or Platinum pass which gives you access to all the workshop sessions. They’re kinda like “all access” passes.<\/p>\n
The gold and silver passes are good if you’re mainly there to check out the tradeshow and have meetings, cos you won’t have access to most of the workshops.<\/p>\n
