Hey Bad Dog,
What's up! I saw just that sign up.
First off, a big welcome to Chris, he's been a busy beaver.
Also, a big thanks to all of my old friends out there who've made that cross over and came to the show in Denver. Obviously we're ramping up for the Los Angeles Show and quite excited about that.
The Denver show was amazing for us and of course our first one. The feedback was amazing on it and that told us we chose a lot of great partners as the turn out was wonderful.
We're entertaining the thought of a European presence & will announce that within the next couple weeks. As to L.A., like Chris said....if you're into mainstream...this is the show to be at. With show's being as costly as they have become, FREE sounds really good these days.
There is a caveat. You need to be an active working affiliate for a mainstream company that we can verify. That's it!
If you are a program or a program manager, you will have to pay to attend. For those wondering why the difference...simply put...without the affiliates...we're left to drive our own traffic. We all know that a strong affiliate base brings great new business opportunities as well as more revenue to the bottom line.
With this approach, we've been able to take a skewed attendance base and move it from a vendor to vendor scenario to a Vendor to Affiliate & vice versa!
At the Denver Affiliate Convention, we had over 87% of attendees registered on the floor as active, working affiliates.
This works for program operators, and in a big way.
So I hope I get to see some of you out in L.A. Remember, getting signed up early gives us plenty of time to verify you are a working affiliate to guarantee your free attendance.
