Christian Affiliate Marketing Association

I am super excited to announce that the CAMA Cruise at Affiliate Summit East 2008 is darn near sold out. I think as of 5 minutes ago, we had 3 tickets remaining with one of them committed to a giveaway on ABestWeb by one of our wonderful sponsors. If you are thinking of attending, I would jump in right now and wrap up your ticket purchase as once all 75 tickets are gone, they are gone and you’ll be waiting in line until January’s Las Vegas event We would love to see you there.

What should you expect? Relaxed fellowship, awesome food, great site seeing of a historic town - a great laid back way to kick off the Affiliate Summit and get some networking done at the same time.

Here are the particulars:

We’ll meet at the dock just outside of the Seaport Hotel at 8:30 to get checked in. We’ll board the Lexington at 8:45 and push off at 9:00. We’ll have a quick program to thank the sponsors and bless the meal, then we’ll have breakfast and enjoy the scenery and conversation. We’ll return to the World Trade Center dock by 11:00 am - so attendees should have plenty of time to prepare for the Affiliate Meet Market and afternoon educational events.

Thanks to all of our sponsors who absolutely make this possible: oneNetworkDirect.com, IBSDirect.com, Andy Rodriguez Consulting, GTO Management, MemoryCross.com , 1M4JC.com and ChristianAffiliateMarketers.com

Affiliate Summit is coming up again in just less than 3 months. That’s right - Affiliate Summit East kicks off on Sunday the 10th of August and we’re going to open it up in classic CAMA style with the “CAMA Cruise” a two hour brunch cruise/site seeing trip/captive audience networking and fellowship session on Boston Harbor.

This is shaping up to be our best event yet.

It will all kick off at 8:30 am when we board the Lexington right outside the show hotel. That’s right - no bus or transportation necessary. At 9:00 AM, we’ll set sail for a 2 hour tour (a 2 hour tour) of Boston from the historic Harbor side. We’ll enjoy an awesome buffet breakfast and fellowship with 75-100 of the coolest folks in the affiliate marketing industry.

We’ll return to the World Trade Center promptly at 11:00 AM, allowing plenty of time for anyone who needs to set up for the Affiliate Meet Market or any of the other educational sessions scheduled for Sunday afternoon at Affiliate Summit East.

I’ll post more in coming days with the menu for the event, information on the sponsors, testimonials from attendees of our past events,  information on sponsoring the CAMA Cruise if you are a Christian company or interested in reaching the Christian audience and registration information.

As always, CAMA events are open to people of all faiths- we invite you to share fellowship and break bread with us and kick off your Affiliate Summit on a spiritual high note.

God Bless,

From all the feedback that I have heard from the 56 or so folks who made it to the 2nd Annual CAMA Gospel Brunch at the House of Blues, it was a big success.  The combination of awesome food, good fellowship and really off the hook praise and worship music from the Las Vegas Massed Choir was a definitely winner.

I got great feedback from the sponsors as well that there was awesome value in the event because of a couple of factors.

1. The quality of people in attendance was awesome.   There were major affiliates in attendance and Director, CEO and VP level folks from a number of companies who came.
2. The event was unique in a positive way.    This was a chance to attend an event that was positive and uplifting and wasn’t just another chance to go out and have drinks or gamble in Las Vegas.

I actually got feedback from one of the sponsors that sponsorships were underpriced

That is the kind of feedback an event sponsor loves to hear.   In any case, now that Summit West is behind us, it’s time to look to the future.

Affiliate Summit East is coming up from August 10-12 in Boston at the Seaport Hotel and Convention Center.

CAMA will of course be there with another positive and unique  event where people of faith can come together to  share food and fellowship in a relaxed environment.  We think we’ve identified a fun activity for the CAMA Breakfast in Boston and we’ll be announcing it soon.   Stay tuned to the CAMA blog for more information.

God Bless,
