1. Submit Affiliate Summit Speaker Proposals
The next Affiliate Summit is being held January 21-23, 2007 in Las Vegas, and speaker proposals are now being accepted.

Educational sessions at Affiliate Summit will be in the following formats: debates, panel discussions, solo presentations, Q&A to experts, and roundtable discussions.

Affiliate Summit will have multiple tracks targeted to affiliates and merchants, and the conference is looking for presentations that will educate and inform attendees about online marketing issues directly relevant to affiliate marketers.

If you are interested in presenting, Affiliate Summit welcomes your submission. Some attributes that will increase the chances of your proposal being accepted are: case studies with new, interesting data; nuts and bolts on how you do what you do; and advanced level content. Those with something to sell need not apply.

Affiliates and merchants will receive preference over agencies for speaking roles. Accepted speakers will be notified no later than October 1, 2006.

To submit a proposal, please visit http://www.affiliatesummit.com/speakers and complete the online application. Proposals will be accepted until September 15, 2006 - no proposals after that date will be considered.
