As far as the conference itself, I want to give props to Shawn Collins and the Affiliate Summit team for bringing together a lot of the top people in this industry.  The networking was incredible for us, and having the opportunity to meet face-to-face with partners is something that even in this age of Skype videoconferencing is irreplaceable.   We attended the opening session with remarks by Michael Sanchez, CEO of ClubMom.  The trade show was impressive but not overwhelming, and I would hypothesize that for the exhibitors, it was well worthwhile, as the booths were packed at all times.  Half of the trade show hall was filled with round tables for meetings, and these were packed at all times as well.  This was a very thoughtful addition, and one that many trade shows forgo.  We were able to sit down at one table on Tuesday and meet with iCommissions, CJ, and Vinny, all based on bumping into them.
