10 Reasons Why You Must Attend Affiliate Management Days

Over the past few days, as I was spreading the word that the time to register for AM Days SF 2013 at Early Bird discounts is running out, a number of people have asked me the why question — the big Why one, as I read it — or “Why would I even want to attend this conference?”

Of course, I could send them to the conference’s Press Room, or my numerous interviews where the question was answered from various angles. But then I thought: Who could characterize the show better than those who have already attended it? Clearly, no one! So, today I’d like to bring you the reasons to attend Affiliate Management Days in the words of those who have experienced the conference first-hand.
