By now you’ve probably already heard the news: earlier this year, AM Days partnered with Affiliate Summit – to bring you world-class affiliate marketing workshops at as many Summits as we can. Our inaugural workshops in New York (at ASE19) were a huge success, and we’re gonna be back at ASW20 in Las Vegas! But what should you expect from the Las Vegas workshops? What will be taught and by whom? Who will these workshops target and what will be the takeaways?
Let me address all of these questions for you in what follows.
