Nope. It conflicted with another trip I had planned so I couldn't go but I will be going in Feb. It's in Vegas again. ching! ching! (I hear the sounds of those slots)
I went to the one this past January that was in Vegas and that was my first and only one.
Is the AS good for beginners? Yes and no. Yes, because they do have some presentations that are great for beginners but what I noticed in January is that there are very few newbies and that's mainly because the cost to attend is quite steep for the average person getting started.
Overall, it's best for more established online companies looking to network other companies more so than a place for beginners to learn about affiliate marketing. There were quite a few super affiliates and affiliates who earn a living online there but not as many newbies.
The good news is that more affiliates are starting to attend every summit. When AS first started, it was mostly affiliate managers, sales execs and higher level employees. But now that more affiliates are attending they are starting to gear more of the presentations toward new and intermediate-level affiliates. But the cost is still an issue for many I would suspect.
Looking forward to going again in Feb but not just for the networking, I love Vegas!
The one after that is in London!
