Affiliate Summit West 2008 starts this Sunday and people are busy to schedule meetings and plan events and parties. Next to the official events are there also networking events and parties that are sponsored by various companies in the affiliate marketing space.

Here is a quick rundown on the social networking events and parties I know about. If there is a party missing, feel free to announce it via the comments below. Don't forget to provide a link or other contact information if you require people to R.S.V.P.

Andrew Wee from WhoIsAndrewWee.com has also a nice rundown of Affiliate Summit Events, including some session highlights and pre-Summit educational activities, Heather Paulson from Paulson Managment Group has also some more details to the individual parties.

And of course the official agenda at the Affiliate Summit website. Check that one out too, if you have not done so already.
