It’s the final count down to Affiliate Summit Boston
Last few days to register for AffiliateSummit.com Boston Seaport Hotel 10th to the 12th August.
If you want to go from the UK, you best book flights now, its peak holiday season and those birds aint cheep. Flights from the UK are now top price and few bargains to be had. Flights are coming in at around £700 + for direct flights, if you don’t mind a connecting flight, they come in at around £650 via Amsterdam KLM (that’s if you can avoid the temptation of a schmoke and a pancake, cigar and a waffle?)
American Airlines via local stops comes in at around £670.00
British Airways comes in for direct flights at £690.00
Virgin comes in at around £700, but interestingly on the UK site they displayed prices in USD, its probably me doing something “computer says no!”
You could do a route I did in reverse if you have time, fly to New York and get the train to Boston, its one beautiful train journey and hugs the coast en route, making your trip to Affiliate Summit that much more interesting. Trains are pretty cool in the US and you meet a bunch of people and some even end up becoming friends. Amtrak as an alternative to the car or plane, I love it and if you dont mind freight having right of way, its my only way to travel around the US, food sucks definately like the stuff you used to get on olden days brithish rail and for the record Amtrak, not a bad cup of coffee but next time hold the cheese!
Back on task, few tips for Affiliate Summit.
Collect business cards, you may have no use for them now but some where down the line I guarantee you wont regret it. Have a plan in mind, this event is action packed with too many companies and people to meet over two days, can’t be done (or can it?), so stay focused during the day and stick to your ,reason for going, path. Don’t be embarrassed by starring at the badges around people’s necks before you speak to them. It’s a little unnerving at first, but time is not on your side, trust me they will get just as twitchy as you (could be the start of a beautiful friendship) but it is one way in ensuring you are meeting the right people in your sector. It was noted last time that a short ass like me, no one could see my badge without developing back pain or doing some break dancing moves. Would help if all could maybe where their name badges on their foreheads :0) But definitely do keep those badges where every one can see them. Above all have big fun and look forward to reading the blogs posts after.
I wont be going to Boston as Im required on the other side of the US.
We hope to get to New York Affiliate Summit. We hope to have an APA rep, this is still being worked through. Look out for Peter Bordes and posse from Advaliant, they have some exciting times a ahead of them.

Hey Jess -
Another travel alternative from NYC to Boston is a party bus set up by Stephanie Agresta (InternetGeekGirl.com): http://affiliatesummitbus.eventbrite.com/
It’s about the same time as the train, but loaded with affiliate marketing geeks, drinks, food, and a gift bag.
