Affiliate Summit West 2010: Las Vegas Recap Day 4 & 5

Posted by JasperP on February 4th, 2010

Day 4: Tuesday – Last day of ASW

I woke up at 2pm in the afternoon, so we just ended up eating at the Rio Buffet for awhile.

Then it was gambling for a little bit and then watched Cirque Du Soleil’s Zumanity at New York New York.

It was pretty much just about relaxing and recouperating.

Day 5: Wednesday – Aria, Gambling, and the Drive Home

The last day, we checked out and headed over to Aria to check out the architecture and stuff.  Gambled a bit of money and headed home.

The drive was kind of bad because of the crazy weather on the west coast.  It was actually snowing in the desert between Las Vegas and Los Angeles.

Anyway, that’s it for the “Affiliate Summit West 2010: Las Vegas Recap” series!  See you next year at Affiliate Summit West!

The end.

Day 3: Monday – Exhibit Hall

The exhibit hall is probably the same as the meet market except that there are booths instead of just tables.

Met up with the Convert2Media crew to hang out and get our beer breakfast.  They had some cool name tag stickers (NINJA OPTIMIZATION!), which was pretty funny:

Meetup202 Las Vegas

This was a  pretty sweet event.  I heard there was about 600 people in attendance and we got to hear about the Bloosky/Tracking202 deal from Wes Mahler and Matt and Ryan from Bloosky Interactive.

Here’s a short video of the event:

Some of the affiliates I met over there:

• James Seligman
• Ian Fernando
• Justin Biggs
• Charles Ngo
• Bryn Youngblut
• Andrew Payne
• Justin Biggs
• Kris Trujillo
• Andrew Wee
• Wes Moehlenbruck
• Justin Barr

They had some cool raffle prizes  and a neat photo booth as well as speakers from the different meetup202 organizers across the world.  I was actually one of the speakers at the event.  I was kind of nervous because of the fact that there was 600+ people, but since it was only like 2-3 minutes it wasn’t so bad.

I ran out of battery from my video camera, so I only have some really crappy video of it.  I think the tracking202 guys will  be uploading the video from the event soon.

CX Digital Roll Like a Billionaire Party @ The Palms

There were like 3-4 other parties above us, but we ended up chillin’ at CX Digital Billionaire Party.

Here’s some video of some guys messing around with the silhouette thing. lol

Club XS @ The Encore

We finished the night off at XS and got drunk.  Check it out:

Day 2: Sunday – First day of ASW: Meet Market

I got up kind of late, but managed to hit up the meet market in the afternoon.

The meet market is basically a meet and greet of different affiliates, networks and companies in the industry.  I usually come to meet other affiliates and make new connections.  Check it out:

Here is a list of the people I met that were in the video:

Afterwards, Michael Salwet and I had dinner at Bellagio “Prime” with Ryan Eagle and Victor Mittelman from EWA network.  Got to meet Letien, Steven, and Christian as well.

Party Time at The Palms!

Then it was off to the Neverblue/Nickycakes/PPC.bz/Plenty of Fish Party!  It was at one of the sky villas at the Palms. It was pretty sick.  Didn’t take too many pictures though…

Affiliate Summit West 2010: Las Vegas Recap Day 1

Posted by JasperP on January 26th, 2010

I survived Affiliate Summit West 2010 in Las Vegas!

Vegas is always a blast, especially at these type of conferences, but I’m glad to be back!  I was there from Saturday, January 17 to Wednesday, January 20.  I drove out with Michael Salwet, John Pangilinan (My brother), Nick Tumbocon and Cherrie Luzon.

Day 1: Saturday – Check-in

I live about 3-4 hours from Las Vegas in Los Angeles, CA so it was a fairly easy drive.  We checked into the Rio and unpack.  We made it!

I only stayed there just so I wouldn’t have to travel back and forth between the convention and the hotel.  At the past 2 affiliate summits, I’ve stayed outside of the conference and it’s kind of a hassle.

Afterwards, I managed to make it to the Rio convention center before 8pm to pick up my ASW pass just so I didn’t have to deal with the lines in the morning.

I had to do a little bit of work before we left, but afterwards, met up with Lorenzo Green, Jason Adams, Nils Friedman for dinner.  Afterwards, we had a little pre-ASW party with a couple shots at iBar and then ended up at the Voodoo Lounge for more drinks at their rooftop bar.  Also partied it up with the infamous Justin Barr of AffBuzz, Tobey Foreman, Alex Tsatkin, Silver Stoltsen, Jen Kiernan, Wes Brooks (and Vanessa), and some other people.

Ended up getting back like at 4am and crashing.

More to come… stay tuned!

We just had our meetup last saturday and we had about 25+ people show up!  We did an icebreaker to make sure that everyone had a chance to meet someone new at the event.  It was an awesome turn out and we had good feedback from the event.
