Hi Nicole,

Great article! Sadly we don’t have anywhere near the number of Internet marketing seminars as you guys in the U.S. do. I run a web development and SEO firm in Sydney, Australia and will be running my own half day web marketing seminar some time before the end of 2010.

I really enjoyed the positive feedback and the fact that friendships were made at NAMS. Who knows, I may get to meet up with you at a NAMS conference!

Cheers and thanks for sharing so much with the web community!

How funny that the comments were mostly left by people who I met at NAMS.

That makes me smile!

Thanks, all, for stopping by and sharing your thoughts. I appreciate it.

See some of you soon!

We are a new business in the affiliate industry and began attending live events this past year. We attended both Affiliate Summit and Ad Tech. It has been a great way for us to network. Some of the best relationships we have came from these conferences. There is something about meeting a person face to face that just does something to the process that emails can’t sometimes.

Hey Nicole
I’ve attended a few offline/live events, but probably the biggest was NAMS2. I met some amazing people there, went back for NAMS3 and now I am speaking at NAMS4!

Like you Nicole, my results have been similar – I go to a live event and come home and my business grows!

I can’t wait for NAMS4!! See YOU (and hopefully your blog readers) there.

I attended NAMS in January and it was my first live event. It was a bit overwhelming with all the information thrown my way but I wouldn’t change it for anything. I learned tons of valuable information, met tons of awesome people and made up my mind right then and there that I would make it a priority to attend at least 1 live event a year! You can’t put a price on building relationships and networking for your business!

Hopefully I We will meet you soon.

Great summary, Nicole! I’ve attended many conferences for network marketing and you’re absolutely right on- there’s nothing like being there live and in person.

You DO get a lot of value out of conferences but more importantly, it puts you in the right “culture”. Surrounded by people that embrace and have the same success values which is important for an entrepreneur’s mindset.

I love this little round ups because you can pick up little tidbits from everyone and it just makes the ideas flow so freely.

It was so great to meet you last summer and I’m looking forward to seeing you again in August!

I’ve only been getting out for live events for about a year and most have been small scale meetups but I did make it to NAMS3 in January and had the BEST time ever!

I’m all set to go back and I’d love to find some more great events to go to before the year is out.
