At Blue Phoenix Media HQ, we’ve all been incredibly busy getting ready for what’s billed as the largest free get-together of affiliate marketers. A few of our preparations have included stocking up on mints (so excellently modeled by this particular affiliate marketer), pens, t-shirts, and glossy slips of paper that let you know who we are and some of the things that make us different from other affiliate networks. You can’t always rely on Facebook to tell you everything you need to know about one of the leading affiliate networks around. In the meanwhile, follow our CEO Amy Sheridan’s Twitter for the latest buzz, and don’t be too shy to e-introduce yourself!

Taking place in Denver, Colorado from June 21-23, AffCon 2010 sets itself apart from other affiliate marketer meet-ups by offering a 360-degree experience. In addition to exchanging ideas with new affiliates and catching up with old friends in the industry, AffCon 2010 also provides panels where the movers and shakers of the industry can dispense their own secrets to success to affiliate aspirants. I’m particularly looking forward to the round table on Ethics in Affiliate Marketing. Additionally, Joel Comm’s keynote looks like a session I won’t miss. Another must-see will be our CEO Amy Sheridan’s presentation as part of the “The Big Niche” panel on the first day of the event. And until then, you can follow her on Twitter.

Beyond the actual conference itself, it looks like a lot of parties are already in the works. With such a mix of old and new affiliate marketers, this is a great way to supplement the intensity that a conference inspires.

Above all, the best part about AffCon 2010 is how open it is—while being free to all affiliate marketers (haven’t signed up yet? Click here to get started!) and focusing on issues directly related to their interests, the conference is also accessible to anyone who wants to learn more about how affiliate marketing – with non-affiliates having the option of paying $99 to sign up through AffCon 2010’s website.

So if you’re planning on going to AffCon 2010, let us know!

The conference started on Saturday, January 16th, but the party really got started at the meat market on Sunday. The BPM table was one of the most visited all day (it helped that we were next to a big screen TV playing the Jets – Chargers game). Some more numbers to describe the meat market: 4 BPM team members, 1 table, 6 hours of talking = 4 lost voices. We met some great people and look forward to working with a lot of them.

After closing down the meat market, we rushed to get ready for dinner, and the affiliate summit tip off party, co-sponsored by who else? Blue Phoenix Media of course. The party, at the hardwood suite in the palms, was a hit, with 700 people in attendance before we closed the doors.

After the party, it was time to get down to business. Monday and Tuesday brought meetings, lots of meetings. We’ve put many names to faces and started building some lasting relationships. And if we weren’t starting a new relationship, we were catching up with some of the individuals and companies we’ve been working with for years.

If you were at the conference and we didn’t get to meet you, please drop us a line at meetings@bluephoenixmedia.com, we’d love to get to know you, don’t worry, we’re a friendly bunch. And if you weren’t at the conference (don’t worry, we won’t hold it against you), drop us a line as well.

I’m not sure that this means what I hope it means: that the economy is actually on its way back to a full recovery. I feel confident, however, in the idea that performance-based marketing is really recovering from the global recession faster than traditional advertising and most other industries.

In any event, there has been a lot of buzz in the industry about Affiliate Summit West. Some of what you’ll hear and read is in anticipation of the parties. Most, though, is in anticipation of reconnecting with former clients, vendors and colleagues in a much more certain and positive commercial climate.

  The Blue Phoenix Media team will be at the Affiliate Summit West 2010 in Vegas!  This event will be fully loaded with experts, vendors, affiliate merchants and networks ready to share their expertise and create money making relationships that will help affiliates rack up on the big bucks for 2010 and so on.  Some of the speakers include Larry Adams from Google, Dave Gaetano of the New York Times and the CEO of Offers.com, Steve Schaffer.  Some other companies that will be in the building are Facebook, Affiliate Future, Resource Nation and Hub Spot. 

Yes, these speakers and companies are fabulous movers and shakers of the online marketing world; however, it’s only right that we take a few seconds to boast a few of our many attributes that we feel you should know about before meeting us at Affiliate Summit West.  We’re known for our affiliate network which consists of over 200 advertisers and 4,000 publishers.  We’ve got our back end PHP server along with 20+ exclusive web properties to maximize brand awareness that we’ve built and own as well as various Education Portals that generate quality leads.  We offer campaigns in over 20 verticals which include Education, Consumer Products, Health and Diet, to name a few.  We also have a Coreg platform to serve into registration pages to monetize websites.

Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, our CEO Amy Sheridan and COO Malaika Schmidt along with their team of affiliate managers will be in full effect at Affiliate Summit.  If you’d like to schedule a meeting, shoot us an email at Meetings@BluePhoenixMedia.com, otherwise just stop by Table #7 on Sunday January 17, at the Affiliate Meet Market, Rio All Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Amazon A-E
Time: 12:00pm – 6:00pm .  See you soon!
