Some of my clients, my friends, a few network people and some top affiliate marketers are getting together in Vancouver BC for the 3rd Annual Affiliate Marketers' Alliance Networking Dinner on Feb. 18th. I went last year and it was a VERY enriching experience, filled with abundant networking opportunities and wonderful Canadian food.

The meeting is headed up by my friend Ian Lee the founder of Affiliate Marketers' Alliance and an affiliate manager for PartnerCentric, one of my clients. I also want to make a special announcement that one of my very INFAMOUS clients, Chris Sanderson from AMWSO will be there. Chris is VERY well known and popular in the industry and I call him INFAMOUS because he can't get into the US (long story) therefore its difficult to ever see him in person unless you want to fly over to Thailand. Linda Woods the president of PartnerCentric will also be there as well as James Martell and Connie Berg, top affiliate marketers that everyone is familiar with. Looks like numerous affiliates networks are making the trip as well.

Here are all the details about the event, including attendee list:

Wish I could make it again this year, but I'm tired of traveling. If you are in the NorthWest US or Canada you really need to hop up there to wine, dine and brainstorm with some of the top people in our industry.
If you go, take some pics for me! ;)

That's a new one on me. I'll have to ask Ian. Sounds like something only a Canuck could love! ;)

Really, if you are right there you should go for sure. Great folks and awesome networking. Even if you aren't heavy into affiliate marketing, they all will be talking SEO and PPC as well.

Poutine? I think it's only big in Eastern Canada. Don't get me wrong, I love gravy on my fries too but the photo here makes me wanna ______ <---fill in blank

Considering this started as a small local gathering, you've built it into a pretty significant meeting. The guest list looks like the who's who of affiliate marketing.

Hats off to Ian for pulling this together and I hope everyone enjoys the event.
I want pics! ;)

Linda

Cool. Well I'm not really an affiliate marketer, but Steamworks is a nice place. Anyone from Vancouver going to the Techvibes Massive?

Hi Linda,

We finally got some photos and the opening remarks video up.

Wish I took more photos but was just way too busy. Do enjoy!

WOW! Just watched the video and it was ALMOST as good as being there.
If any of you have never met Ian, Chris Sanderson or Linda Woods in person, you really need to hear them speak in this nice long video that covers the opening remarks before the festivities begin.

Thanks for sharing Ian!

Linda

My pleasure Linda. I know I promised photos for you but I was so busy that evening, I only took photos BEFORE everyone arrived. The rest of the photos (with people in it) were from other cameras.

Glad you enjoyed the video! See you soon Linda.
