    Was LAC conference worth it?

    If you had a productive conference or not share your thoughts if it was worth your time.

    yes, very productive. I found a few little things that have turned out to be very helpful.

    it is also helpful to cement relationships with the people you work with all be it online. people like the Betdaq team i'd now class as friends and be happy to socialise away from work with as well

    I found it to be the best conference yet - normally it dies off on the Saturday after 3pm but it was rammed this time around.
    Kudos to Alex and the iGB team for hosting a great conference

    LAC Conference best yet

    It was totally worth it. I went to the Wordpress session which was by far and away the best session i have yet been to at any conference , that incudes SES and A4U

    The networking was phenomenal and the business that was done there over 2 days was great. Alex and IGB thank you so much for putting on a fantastic show.

    (the hour long wait outside at F&I sucked a bit though )

    It was good - my first conference so I wasn't sure what to expect, but it was pretty productive. I want to do more in sports this year but I'm not a big sports guy so it was nice being able to bounce ideas off the guys at bet365/sky etc...

    One thing that I would have done differently is arrange a meet/beer between all of us gpwa'ers! Not sure why it didn't occur to me before...

    It was a fantastic show for us. We met some great affiliates and operators throughout the two days. There now just isn't enough time in the day to do all the follow up

    As always the IGB team put on a fantastic show and even better social schedule!!

    It was the first time I went to a conference, and it was 100% worth it.

    It was without doubt, the busiest and best conference I have attended. It was the first time Sky had exhibited so the reception we got from affiliates was great. Numbers to the stand were really positive.

    Good show. My only complaint was that I had to wait 40 minutes to get in on Friday morning after getting off an overnight flight...they need to streamline the registration process somehow...

    Started at 9am... finished at about 3-4am every... day - I didn't get to do everything I wanted to do.
    First conference that has happened at for me.

    What I liked was.. even if you skipped parties at the clubs and headed to the Silks bar at Grange - there were always people there.

    I'm coming of a high of having a packed week with old and new friends. Feeling quite disconnected!

    That's the worst part of a conference for me. I learned a few conferences ago that you need to leave before everyone else does or you end up getting depressed..

    The grange bar is awesome at the London conference.

    Well worth going and great to meet so many AMs, although unfortunately I didn't really do much networking, I had a shitty cold and didn't feel like drinking much...

    I think you may need a new doctor, because the cure to a shitty cold, is drinking.

    Conference was amazing. Energy was incredibly high, the IA booth constantly busy and the feedback from clients and affiliates incredibly positive. It sure reaffirms what a fantastic group of people comprise this industry

    Getting to talk face to face with the many AMs was certainly a very useful experience, however i have to say that for me the seminars really were knockout. I'm sure many of you have a far more indepth knowledge of SEO than myself, but for me they really opened a lot of avenues for further investigation.
