Hey,
Like most conferences, it's really up to you to make it worth it.
You have to decide on some goals and then plan meetings, meetups, and talks you attend accordingly.
One thing that is a red flag for me:
My recommendation is to mix Affiliate World Asia with a nice trip to Bangkok, or a trip to some Thai beaches. The conference will likely be very good but mixing the trip will add to the experience. Some affiliates are also doing the same, it might give you more time to network

I've built and sold several Internet companies, IPOed another and took it to a $350 million valuation, graduated from schools well known for educating some of the top Internet entrepreneurs in the world, have a couple of graduate degree, and have done business in well over 65 countries.
But I certainly don't come even close to knowing everything about business.
My recommendation is that you definitely should go AWA.
I attended AWE in Berlin 3 months after I started on the real affiliate marketing side of things (was managing affiliates for a CPI network for about a year before that). It was the biggest game-changer I've experienced in my career so far. In the months following AWA I went from 3 figures a day average to late four figures/early five figures a day average. If I could offer a word of advice it would be this: attend the parties.
The speakers are incredible, the show-floor is useful and the general networking meets are great but the real gold lies in those late-night semi-drunk exchanges you make at the parties. People are far more willing to share information with a couple of drinks in them. But you can't just go up to people and demand to know how they're making their money, you need to demonstrate some value. Make the exchange worth their while. You're the product, you're marketing yourself, so make sure the LP is worth clicking on
I think if you assembled a council of the world's greatest experts on almost any skill, discipline or endeavour, you'd struggle to find one who would claim they knew almost everything about their area of expertise.
As just one example - a while ago I read an interview with Mark Knopfler, who was listed by Rolling Stone as one of the greatest guitarists of all time.
He was asked to rate his own guitar-playing skill. His response?
"It's getting there."
Always, always more to learn.
