New York City is the current setting for Affiliate Summit East and there’s no shortage of events to go to and people to meet. While Sunday was officially the first day of the summit, festivities actually kicked off Saturday, August 8, with a night of various sponsored parties in Midtown. The following morning, the Christian Affiliate Marketing Association’s (CAMA) held their regular conference Gospel Brunch. For the first time since the CAMA brunch began at Affiliate Summit, Share Results was one of the proud sponsors of the event. It may have been off site, but the commuting was well worth it as the CAMA brunch took place at the legendary Cotton Club in Harlem and was an opportunity to get out and about in the city.
An “interactive” gospel music performance was coupled with a heavenly soul food-style brunch (shout out to Helen Slade and her ensemble for a powerhouse performance). If you missed this event, I strongly encourage you to sign up for the next CAMA brunch at the forthcoming summit in Las Vegas.
The Meet Market, an afternoon Sunday event, was filled with advertisers and networks specializing in email marketing, CPA offers, and other placements and commissions. This market gave exhibitors a chance to showcase to interested affiliates looking for new partnerships and offers. If you arrived early, you also probably had a chance to grab a share of the sugary sweets that were being offered at various tables. 
Among some of the key faces at Sunday’s events were Wade Tonkin of CAMA, Affiliate Summit emcee Jim Kukral, as well as Melanie Seery, an important voice for affiliates of all levels and backgrounds across the United States.
While these are just a few highlights of the events and the people involved, there are plenty more activities to participate in at the summit.
If you weren’t able to make it to New York this time around, you’ll be happy to know that buzz is already circulating about the next summit in Vegas. Get on board early, because the next Affiliate Summit is expected to be BIG!

I am jealous of the attendees of the CAMA brunch – I’ve never been, since I’m always doing things to get set for the Affiliate Summit stuff.
I’m sure the CAMA organizers would have no problem setting you up with a ticket to the next event in Vegas. All that great food, the music and the opportunity to meet summit attendees – it’s well worth it to spend a few hours there on Sunday morning.
