The Affiliate Summit Pinnacle Awards were announced at last night’s Pure Imagination party held at the Wynn Hotel and Resort…

Affiliate of the Year: Scott Hazard
Affiliate Manager of the Year: Angel Djambazov
Exceptional Merchant: Amazon.com
Affiliate Marketing Advocate Award: Brian Littleton
Best Blogger: Jim Kukral
Wayne Porter Affiliate Marketing Legend: Todd Crawford

An exceptional set of winners (and nominees) this year, so a big congrats to all. However, the triumvirate of Legends (Wayne Porter, Tim Storm and Todd Crawford) is quite a group of personalities!

I’d also like to congratulate Shawn Collins and Missy Ward for putting together an incredible show this year. They have constantly made tweaks here and there that have elevated the quality of the show to an exceptionally high level in terms of education, inspiration, networking and fun.

The floor and sessions are packed, but so are the meeting rooms and hallways. I see deals happening everywhere with confident affiliates and knowledgable networks and merchants constantly interacting. As Jennine Rexon of Rextopia commented to me, “the buzz is tangible.” I completely agree with her.

See you in Miami!
