If you are attending Affiliate Summit for the first time or have time to attend sessions we have highlighted a few of the sessions that we recommend attending. Of course they are all social media related since that is our passion. If you want to learn about another online marketing topic rest assured you have plenty to pick from. Here is the full agenda. 

The first tip we have for you is to sign yourself up for an online schedule that you can socially connect with your Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn profiles. That way you can see which of your existing connections are interested in attending similar sessions or events. Here is where you sign up: http://asw12.sched.org/ once you have set your account up you can easily see a list of sessions. Then you can decide which ones interest you the most. Check out our online schedule.

Here are our top picks and what we plan on doing while we attend our 11th Affiliate Summit event broken down by each day. Enjoy and if you have any questions please feel free to tweet our CEO @MicroSteph or tweet anyone using the hashtag #ASW12. The Affiliate Summit tweets are already flying in by the hour. 

Ready? Here we go. We recommend getting in on Saturday because the conference starts Sunday at noon but it gives you plenty of time to get settled in and acquainted with some of the attendees many get in early and you can find them at the hotel bar, don't be shy! Introduce yourself. If you are more interested in the night networking events check out our Affiliate Summit West Party Guide.
