Affiliate Manager Training LIVE will be a truly unique learning experience. We've taken our time to invite presenters that will act as instructors teaching you their craft. Our expert panel is made up of:

- Successful Affiliate Managers who are preparing to show you exactly HOW they approach their jobs and HOW they execute profitable strategies.

- Network executives whose full-spectrum view of the relationships between affiliates and managers allow them to build the tools that managers rely on each day.

Unlike other conferences where the presenters speak in general terms and offer blanket advice, these speakers are concentrating on how-to information that you can implement as soon as you return to the office.
