The Philadelphia Marriott Downtown sold out on the group block for Affiliate Summit East 2013 earlier this week.

If you missed out on booking a room at the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown, we have some good news for you.

We have secured rooms at the same $169 a night group rate at the Philadelphia Downtown Courtyard by Marriott – book a room now before they are sold out, too.

Also, we are trying to get more rooms at the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown, but no luck so far.

The Philadelphia Downtown Courtyard by Marriott is right around the corner from the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown and the Pennsylvania Convention Center.

Affiliate Summit East 2013 is taking place August 18-20, 2013 at the Pennsylvania Convention Center.

On the May 20, 2013 episode of 7 Minutes in Affiliate Heaven podcast (listen to 7 Minutes in Affiliate Heaven), I talked about the hotel for Affiliate Summit East 2013 selling out, a letter to sell your boss on a conference, and guides on Pinterest to Philadelphia for Affiliate Summit.

I also mentioned the new “nerd bird” flight from San Francisco to Austin, Yahoo buying Tumblr, and where to find non-spammy affiliates.

This was a landmark episode in some ways, because it was the first time I exceeded the 7 minute maximum I set for the show. But nobody will be victimized by my rambling, as the recording is set to cut me off at 7 minutes no matter what.
