I don't see what the point would be. As an affiliate I talk to my affiliate manager a few times a year and he resolves all my issues. I can find new programs to promote online, I don't need to go to a show to find them.
So, as a mere affiliate, I don't see the point in attending. Can someone tell me what an affiliate gets from going to the show they need, and can not get online?
Thanks!
