Next week, the Internet Marketing event, ad:tech San Francisco 2011 will take place at the Moscone Center in the city of my birth, San Francisco, CA. I have talked with show organizers and have been given the green light to bring my camera in and cover the show. I have been coming to ad:tech since 2007, which I believe was in Chicago. The New York City show in 2008 was my first venture to NYC and I was very impressed with the size of the venue and the number of vendors/attendees. Soon after, the San Francisco show became even larger than NYC, so you know there is plenty of business and education to be done.

Since I got a great response to Affiliate Summit West coverage I decided that I will begin following Ad Tech and Affiliate Summit as much as possible. I had slowed down on these Internet Marketing events in 2010, but it is time to make that up.

While I am there I will be covering a few of the scheduled parties. On Monday, April 11, Moss Networks will be hosting the VIP Mix+Mingle at The Supperclub. This event is invite only, so please find more information about reserving a VIP table at the Moss Networks website.

Tuesday evening, FriendFinder presents the Marketers Ball. Too Short & Digital Underground will both perform. This event is only open to ad:tech attendees, so be sure to stop by the FriendFinder booth to get your passes. I have been to these events. You do not want to miss it. It you want a VIP table, I understand there are a few left. Visit the Marketers Ball website for more details.

If you are having a demonstration or event you would like me to come by and shoot, drop me a line and I will try to come by. There is no charge. If you would like to sponsor the photos or purchase banner spots on the show galleries, you can contact me for rates at Lloyd@spp-productions.com.

Here are some photos from Ad Techs past and I look forward to seeing you in San Francisco.
