Tomorrow the first "Affiliate Marketing" Trade Show starts tomorrow February 17 until 19, 2005 (Thursday-Saturday) ... sort of an online event that you can attend without ever leaving your home or office (and that's good with this unbelievable bad weather here in Austria :-)

Revenue is a Premium Sponsor at eComXpo, the first online trade show for the Affiliate Marketing Channel and they provided me a free pass – so I'll definately check it out tomorrow…

I think they provide some kind of special software to browse the show, attend some classes (like video conferencing?) and checkout some other channels..

the hype – Why Attend?

• Choose from 100 educational sessions ranging from search, to email to making blogs pay
• Network with 100's of merchants, affiliates and executives from the top networks
• Learn how to finally quit that 'day' job from experts including Shawn Collins, Declan Dunn, Linda Woods and Haiko de Poel, Jr.
• Get a chance to win great prizes such as iPods, flat-screen TVs, Caribbean vacations and a free classified ad in Revenue ($1,000 value)
• Receive all the benefits of a top trade show for only $89.95 that can be written off as a business expense
• Get a free 1 year subscription to Revenue magazine, plus $500 in valuable coupons to keep for yourself or use as a prize for your own customers

I would say that this is recommend alone for the Revenue subscription that everyone in the affiliate marketing business should have…
