I wasnt there but the feedback coming back is awesome..
I hope Alex decides to keep it in Budapest next year - I may actually get a chance to go.
Glad everyone had a great time and I cant wait for the pics!

I think with the kind of feedback that everybody is giving Alex would be crazy to move it.

Just back in the office after a further 5 days of conference, networking etc in Copenhagen and I am in pieces - Struggling to remember what my day to day job is, but GPWA seemed a good place to start
Anyway - Loved Budapest in so many ways, everything seemed to go massively smoothly and I haven't had anything but positive feedback so can't see why we would move it, at least for 2010 and then maybe back on tour after that!
Hopefully we will have our photos back soon and a video in 2 weeks so watch this space for the highlights!

It was a wonderful event from all reports alex. I want to go to one!
If it's ok, I would like to discuss rogue programs attending.
Are you going to Vegas?
Hey There = Just posted in your other thread so drop me an email and lets see what we can do
Vegas - Hopefully, if I do this deal with G2E I will definitely be there! Finger crossed
Shaun - Yep nice little injury, apparently when you consistantly drink and have no sleep for days on end you lose potassium - From now on I will come armed with a bananna!

Just watched the APCW video that had snippets of the conference floor, looked well layed out. Was it all on one level this time? I hated all those stairs at Barcelona. Plus would forget who was on what floor. Damn sorry I missed this one.

I had such a great time, both professionally and personally, and I can speak on the behalf of team Bodog (and Pierre too, ha) by saying that all of us found great value in attending this event.
As many of you have already noticed, I have been posting conference pics on my facebook profile until www.calvinayre.com is launched- have a look if you have not seen them yet!

Personally I think the only person that should be banned from attending conferences is Martyn.
Seriously I do not believe the onus should be on the conference organiser policing who and who should not attend. All programs should be allowed to attend.
The purpose of a conference is to allow and facilitate face to face meetings between affiliate programs and their partners. There are many programs I won't work with and I tend to avoid them at conferences. I believe all affiliates do the same with regards programs they won't promote for whatever reason.
However banning them from attending is wrong and stifles any chance of dialogue.
Edited to add:
OOPS wrong thread please can you move this post into here https://www.gpwa.org/forum/programs-...es-183448.html

Exit stage left
Yep all one floor - We have that as a policy now due to feed back, even had the conference rooms on the one floor - All I need now is a Segway!!
BTW all our photos are up on the iGaming Business Affiliate Events page on Facebook now http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/p...1828514?ref=nf

The hotel was great Alex and a must do for 2010!! I thought the layout was great the only thing I would add is a few more tables and chairs for meetings it was a bit hard to find a place to sit and talk due to the nice turn outCan you believe it on day 1 I Christine the one that never shows up early to conferences was there and I networked for 5 hrs straight!! I packed in 1 meeting after another and still missed at least 20% of the people I wanted to talk to. Kudos to Alex and his team on a job well done.
Food.. what is up with all the duck liver with every meal? I for sure need to go back there are many places I had no time to see and the city is amazing such a nice change up from Barca.
Shaun I seen your guns dude nice goingSorry for missing lunch!
Who thinks there should be a sponsored party at the Bed and Beach club ohhh yahhh!!
As Michael said there were some really nice talks going on during the conference especially about the recent term changes by a few programs, I think good progress was made on that end. I had dinner with CWC and sat across from J. Todd when he talks about the Grand Pricks he has so much passion over this issue I know he is going to fight hard and chase them down for all affiliates!! Job well down Jay and keep up that fight and let me know what I can do to help!!
