Skipping the Line at Affiliate Summit West:
Why I’m Going — and Who I’m Looking to Meet
Affiliate Summit West runs January 12–14, 2026 at Caesars Forum in Las Vegas, and I’ll be there for one reason:
real conversations with brands that are ready to grow.
No pitch decks. No fluff. Just clarity, strategy, and next steps.
I’ll be attending on behalf of School of Chaos and Chief of Chaos with one clear goal:
help brands skip to the front of the line in affiliate marketing.
I’m not there for the parties. Not for the hype. I’m there for decisive operators who want momentum.
The Pattern Too Many Brands Are Stuck In
Affiliate marketing is not a sandbox. It’s a performance channel that rewards
experience, partner relationships, proven systems, and decisive execution.
If your brand is tired of being someone else’s learning lab, this is exactly the conversation we should have in Vegas.
Who I’m Looking to Meet at Affiliate Summit West
Let’s connect if you’re a brand or agency that:
- Wants to move faster without breaking things
- Is done paying for trial-and-error
- Needs proactive affiliate recruitment, not passive management
- Cares about incrementality—not just last-click volume
- Wants creators, not just coupon dependency
- Is curious about new performance channels—but wants them done right
What “Skipping the Line” Actually Means
- Clean tracking and attribution
- Platform architecture built to scale
- Commission logic aligned to real outcomes
- Eliminating code leakage
- Structuring exclusivity properly
- Driving growth without destroying margin
- Balancing creators, content, loyalty, tech, and partners
- Reducing over-reliance on any single partner type
- Building a resilient, defensible ecosystem
- Recruiting creators who actually convert
- Integrating creators into performance—not just awareness
- Structuring scalable, repeatable partnerships
- Performance CTV
- Performance Podcasts
- Emerging creator-driven formats
Let’s Meet in Vegas (15 Minutes, Very Intentional)
I’ll be in Las Vegas for Affiliate Summit West (January 12–14, 2026). If you want:
- Honest feedback on your affiliate program
- A fast assessment of what’s working—and what’s not
- To see if skipping the line makes sense for your brand
Affiliate marketing works when it’s built with experience and momentum.
If you’re ready for that, I’ll see you in Vegas.
P.S. If you book time, add a note about what you want to fix (tracking, partner mix, coupon leakage, creator scale, podcast performance, etc.).
I’ll come prepared.
