Hi,
I will be honest, when I went to the casino affiliate conference in Vancouver I learned nothing. But I did end up meeting a lot of great people and I had a blast. I finally could place faces behind iglobalmedia, slot land, etc.
I also could decide which program had the best type of relationship with thier affiliates. I really liked how down to earth Slot Land was, but in the meantime the Gambling Federation staff was too busy with thier models to take time off to talk to affiliates.
I did negotiate a couple commission increases. If the expenses were not tax deductible I probably would not attend. If you’re new to the industry I’m sure you might be able to gain some insight, I just found the information to be basic. I really didn’t need an hour long lecture by findwhat to teach me how to bids on PPC search engines for example.
