The Race to Affiliate Summit West 2016, a dailymile challenge where Affiliate Summit will donate $1 to benefit AVON 39 The Walk to End Breast Cancer in support of Affiliate Marketers Give Back team for each mile exercised through the challenge, is going through December 31, 2015.

There are currently 38 folks involved in the challenge, and the top 10 competitors have already accumulated 1,583 miles.

Overall, there have been 1,920 miles tallied by all of the participants, so it’s $1,920 raised (so far).

I am currently ranked #5 (see my dailymile profile) with my 101 miles. I am signed up for the 2015 Avon Walk for Breast Cancer in NYC, and I will be packing on the miles through a combination of OrangeTheory Fitness, running, walking, and maybe some cycling. I added some miles a couple days ago doing the Rugged Maniac obstacle run with Rae and Sean Dolan of Pushfire.

Here are the top 10 affiliate marketing exercisers, as of September 7, 2015.

dailymile syncs with a number of iPhone and Android apps, and they have an app of their own.

You can also manually enter your exercising efforts.

In order to participate in dailymile activities, you will need to friend me on dailymile and I will invite you to the challenge.

Affiliate Summit West 2016 is taking place January 10-12, 2016 at Paris Las Vegas in Las Vegas, NV.

The participant with the most total miles at the end of the challenge will receive a VIP Pass to Affiliate Summit East 2016. 2nd to 5th place finishers will each receive a Networking Plus Pass to Affiliate Summit East 2016, and 6th to 10th place finishers will each receive a Networking Pass to Affiliate Summit East 2016.

Please note that all information you provide as part of the contest is public and may be used by Affiliate Summit in our marketing efforts for this event.

We are convinced that there are lots of affiliate marketers who need help getting themselves to Affiliate Summit West 2016.

But for each conference, we announce that we are sponsoring up to fifty (50!) Affiliate Summit Pay It Forward Scholarships for affiliates to attend the conference for the first time.

And each time, we get a disappointing response on the quick and easy applications. Granted, we have made a concerted effort to make the passes more accessible, but they do still cost money.

Anyhow, each recipient of the Affiliate Summit Pay It Forward Scholarships will be awarded one VIP Pass (a $1,249 value) to Affiliate Summit West 2016, taking place January 10-12, 2016 at Paris Las Vegas in Las Vegas, NV.

That’s the pass that includes meals, the ability to atend all sessions, access to videos of the sessions, and a bunch of other perks.

So, if you’d like to submit an application for the scholarship, you will need a valid US address and you must answer the following question in essay form in 300 words or less:

• What do you see as your biggest challenge as an affiliate marketer?

In order to be considered for an Affiliate Summit Pay It Forward Scholarship, complete the online application by the deadline of Friday, November 20, 2015.

The Meet Market for Affiliate Summit West 2016 has sold out. Affiliate Summit West 2016 is taking place January 10-12, 2016 at Paris Las Vegas in Las Vegas, NV.

Most of the booths in the exhibit hall are gone, too. There are still a limited number of other sponsorships available for Affiliate Summit West 2016.

If you’re not familiar with the Meet Market, it is an extended session of structured, face to face networking on the Sunday of Affiliate Summit.

Affiliate programs and networks have tables set to meet with affiliates to discuss their offers and cut deals. Vendors that cater to affiliates and merchants will also have tables to share information about their products and services.

Each table is a meeting spot for teaching, learning, closing deals, creating partnerships, and finding new opportunities.

Affiliate Summit has regularly sold out for years. We have finite space, and so the number of passes available are limited. Therefore, we’ve decided to slash the prices for both the VIP and All Access passes.

Wait… what?

Our pass prices have been in effect since January 2010, so we decided it was time for a change. A change that would lower the two highest passes.

Yes, that’s right. The VIP and All Access passes are being reduced by hundreds of dollars each.

While the VIP pass, during the early bird period, has been selling at $879 for many years, it is now $579. That pass includes access to all of the sessions, meals, and so much more.

And the early bird price for the All Access pass has been reduced from $1,879 to $1,379.

Get details on all of the pass types for Affiliate Summit West 2016, and book your pass before prices go up after October 23, 2015.
