What happens when you put 4,500 of the world’s top digital marketers, brands, and agencies under one roof?🔥 Pure magic—the kind that builds million-dollar partnerships with a single handshake.
James Tappenden, Events Director for Affiliate Summit East 2025, reveals why ASE isn’t just another conference—it’s the Super Bowl of digital marketing. From Fortune 500 giants to solo hustlers, this is where business gets done fast.
Think legendary: the “meat market” where 50 handshakes might turn into the connection that changes everything. Add in a global crowd, only 25% overlap between East and West, and now the Creator Economy Live stage where CMOs are pouring in ad spend—it’s the future of marketing, live and unfiltered.
For first-timers? The advice is savage and simple:
👉 “If you’re scared to come to your first show, grab your balls and come. This is where the movers and shakers are.”
ASE is the ultimate cheat code for business growth. What takes months of cold calls happens in minutes here. Don’t sleep on it—this is where careers are launched, deals are closed, and legends are made.
