My friend Murray Newlands is at it again. Not satisfied with being simply a famous blogger, an affiliate network creator and co founder of a social media event planning firm, Influence People, no Murray is giving back to the affiliate marketing community by recognizing the good that is being done. He is doing so by founding The Affiliate Marketing Awards.

April 12, 2011 the W Hotel in San Francisco is going to be the place to be. That night Affiliate Marketing will be recognized for the most creative campaigns, partnerships, advertisers and publishers. While Affiliate Marketing has gotten a bad rap over the years, there are some tremendous people who are doing great things in the industry. The Affiliate Marketing Awards seeks to shine a spotlight on those tremendous people and recognize the good that they have done and continue to do.

Judges of the Affiliate Marketing Awards include top affiliates and entrepreneurs Shawn Collins, Joseph Morin, Peter Bordes, Jay Weintraub, Oliver Roup, Deborah Carney, Brian Nelson and Steve Hall. These are some of the industries’ best of the best. These are people who have been working in the space for years and have seen every trend in the industry come and go, wither or flourish. They certainly know what they are talking about in the Affiliate Marketing space.

Sponsors of the event include HasOffers and VigLink. There are also more openings for additional sponsors if you or your company is interested. This event promises to be an elegant night of recognition for industry leaders and influencers, the perfect people that you should be working with. Getting in front of them would be a spectacular opportunity.
