We’ve received a lot of feedback in the past that the Q&A at the end of sessions was problematic on a number of levels.

Some people would be inaudible, because they didn’t ask a question with a mic; while others would preface their question with a commercial for their company.

So, the audience will be able to submit questions to the speakers via SMS, a phone or computer web browser, as well as Twitter at Affiliate Summit West 2011.

It will be easy to ask a question in any session.

We’ll be providing instructions at the conference, so check out the agenda for Affiliate Summit West 2011 and start thinking about the questions you’d like to ask.

The Race to Affiliate Summit West 2011, a dailymile challenge where Affiliate Summit committed to donate $1 to the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade for each mile run, cycled, swam, or walked through the challenge, has ended.

There were 37 folks involved in the challenge, and the top ten runners tallied 1,865 miles.

Overall, there were 2,748 miles run, cycled, swam, or walked by all of the participants, so it came to a total of $2,748 to be donated by Affiliate Summit.

But since we like round numbers, we’ve decided to make it $5,000 to the the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade.

I ended up at #11 right now (see my dailymile profile) with 98 miles. The next time I am cracking the top ten!

Here were the top ten fundraising affiliate marketing athletes at the conclusion of the challenge.

Congratulations to Michele, who had the most total miles at the end of the challenge. She will receive a Platinum pass to Affiliate Summit West 2011.

Affiliate Summit West 2011 is taking place January 9-11, 2011 at Wynn Las Vegas.
