That cruise is run by Shawn Collins and it deals with retail affiliate programs. It is more for affiliate managers at Fortune 500 companies. I would be surprised if any affiliates showed up for the cruise.
The Casino Affiliate Convention is specific and it deals only with marketing and advertising for a casino/sportsbook site and/or portal. Casino Affiliates attend as well as the casino operators.
