I've heard several negative comments about the quality of the sessions. Since I was running our booth much of the time I didn't have time to attend many, so I'd like to hear some other comments good / bad about the sessions. I'm part of the advisory board and want to do what I can to improve the quality of the event.
Sorry Shawn, I didn't mean to be harsh or take away from what I think was a fantastic conference. I attended 5 or 6 sessions and got feedback from others as well.
One session in particular left a really bad taste in my mouth, which I think affected what I wrote. I'm sure you know which one that was.
I will give specific feedback in your survey.

Reflecting on Affiliate Summit, I had a great time. For me, having worked in this industry for so long, it is a highschool reunion, except fun. I met dozens of old friends, and made some new ones. What is truly amazing to me, however, is the people who were (apparently) there, but I missed completely. I was at pretty much every event, milling around between sessions, and took many laps through the exhibits. And still I can name off several people I didn't get a chance to talk to. I guess the conference is too big now to leave those things to chance.
Further, it seems to me that Affiliate Summit has turned a corner. The sessions are no longer the focus. The exhibits are. While the sessions were poorly attended, the exhibit hall was continually buzzing with activity. And networking more than ever, though I think that's what it's always really been about.
Again, the sessions were pretty poorly attended. Most were mediocre at best, with a few really good ones. A few presenters and panelists didn't seem to take it as seriously as they should have, which I think reflected pretty poorly. Dozens of people up and walked out on one.
