As I mentioned last night, Affiliate Summit West is coming up, and I'm going. Tonight I thought I would list the sessions I'm planning on attending and why...just in case you are wondering. So without any further ado...

MONDAY - FEB 25

What: Opening Remarks and Keynote w/ Jason Calacanis (hosted by Jim Kukral
When: 9:45 am - 10:45 am
Why: Simple - it's Jason Calacanis! Last time I saw him speak was at the Blog Business Summit in Seattle, and let me tell you, he's always memorable. I'm trying to figure out if he will tell the audience they all suck or if he'll be nice and encourage them to use Mahalo...or both.

What: Video Innovation in Affiliate Marketing
When: 11:30 am - 12:30 pm
Why: If you can look me in the eyes and tell me that video will not be a more important part of online marketing five years from now, you need your head checked. The more experience we can get with video now, the easier things will be in the future.

What: How to Futureproof Your SEO Efforts
When: 1:45 pm - 2:45 pm
Why: SEO is tricky and fickle, so keeping up on the latest and greatest thought is a must-do for people who do optimization (like me).

TUESDAY - FEB 26

What: Ask the Experts
When: 10:00am - 11:15am
Why: Not sure how long I'll stay, but I know or know of some of the people who are working the tables. Plus, might be a good time to network

What: Super Affiliate Strategies that Work
When: 11:30am - 12:30pm
Why: An all-star lineup of affiliate legends talking about how they do what they do? Sign me up.

What: Social Media Strategies in Affiliate Marketing
When: 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Why: Let's face it - you can make a ton of money as an affiliate doing PPC and SEO...but you can really kill it if you can build a community or tap into social media channels.

So that's my schedule...looks like a top-notch lineup!
