Don't worry if the Grange St Pauls is all booked are.. chances are you'll be able to pitch your tent outside the cathedral and be sure of plenty of company!

Its ok that won't ever be repeated - Some loved it and some hated it but tbh its a one off thing for sure....If people don't know what we are talking about you can check the video out here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGxVU_d1zNM It is bloody impressive although goes on a little

Bloody hell, how did I miss that! Pretty cool IMO.

Flights and St Pauls booked, loads of vacant tents available at night in case I don't make it back to the hotel...........

lol...memories!

Actually, it's snowed 6 of the past 10 years I've been there for conferences in January, to varying degrees. Some of those years it only snowed for a couple hours, while other years it snowed enough to stick overnight. The year Martyn mentioned, well, it was pretty crazy--and beautiful.

I got so lucky--managed to get on the last plane out before they completely shut down Heathrow.

London Affiliate Conference to showcase new networking event

Affiliate ''networking fun day'' to become a new feature of landmark event

24 Nov 2011, London, UK – iGB Affiliate, organiser’s of the London Affiliate Conference (LAC) due to be held on the 26th-29th of January, have announced a new feature which is due to become a permanent fixture of the event. The 'networking fun day' will be held on the 26th of January after the organiser’s noted that many of the delegates arrived early for the LAC conference. In order to ensure that these delegates are able to maximise their time in the city, this new style of networking event at the King Pin suite at Bloomsbury Lanes will ensure that these early bird delegates have a hub to network and make the most of the hundreds of affiliates and operators expected to attend.

"The London Affiliate Conference is always a record breaking event" Stated Alex Pratt, Head of iGaming Business "Everyone in the online gambling affiliate industry will be at LAC, so this usually means that most delegates have a full schedule from dusk till dawn with pre-arranged business meetings. This is obviously an amazing opportunity for attendees, but we wanted to bring back a fun twist to our conferences. A place where you can meet old friends and make new ones, in the tradition of all our events. So we created the 'fun day' which allows delegates who arrive early time to relax and network in an informal atmosphere."

This new feature in the LAC schedule will include a speed networking session followed by ten pin bowling competitions, table football, air hockey, ping pong, pool tables and Karaoke. The space has been booked exclusively for delegates who RSVP to this event, and the organisers expect to sell out. With a huge online gambling population based in London, delegates are guaranteed to gain quality connections and create long term business relationships in a fun and informal atmosphere.

"At the end of the day, this event will be unashamedly fun." Continues Alex "Our industry continues to grow year by year and it’s no longer the case where you know most of the delegates attending our events. New faces are great for business, but in an industry as connected as ours, it’s important to facilitate an atmosphere where people can create real bonds outside of the boardroom and emails. We hope our events will continue to provide delegates with the opportunities to not only meet face to face, but give them quality time with potential business partners, associates and clients. Not to mention that a little healthy competition is always a great incentive to get together."

The LAC Networking Fun Day will be held at the Kingpin Suite, Bloomsbury Lanes, Bedford Way, London, between 12 to 4pm on the 25th January 2012. Delegates can register their interest on the website here http://www.igbaffiliate.com/events/l...orking-fun-day and sponsorship opportunities are still available. More information on the London Affiliate Conference and associated activities can be found here: www.LondonAffiliateConference.com.

Indeed - Blame Marit! She has no attention to detail

And yes you do have to come in early as I want to see you sing after I have beaten you at every game they have

[grem]

It is too cold for camping.

Singing I cannot do at all.

Alex can I make a vote to have this fun day (specifically the karaoke part) before every conference?
I know I have been saying we need karaoke for a long time and finally it's here and I'm going to miss out

[ocreditor]

Rain this rain that. Y'all worried about rain. Two years ago it actually snowed and the airport shut down... Don't get me started.

Bring warm clothes!
