The third annual iGB Affiliate Awards ceremony was held on London at the St. Paul's Hotel on Thursday evening, the 28th of January 2010.
The ceremony was a wonderful evening with dinner and great entertainment that featured an amazing beatboxer as well as belly dancing and break-dancers. Most affiliates were invited to the event by the affiliate programs in attendance. Personally, I'd like to thank PartnerLogic, who were my host for the evening.
