I also disagree with jack_n_jill
I have been to the last 6 CAC conferences between Amsterdam and Vegas
Most people work in relative isolation. CAC is the only conference other than GIGSE that gives affiliates exposure to the greater world out there. I thought I was pretty ambitious until I met other affiliates who were making millions of dollars. then I realised that my success – on a relative basis – was insignificant.
Forget about the agenda or the exhibitors, at the end of the day that is just extra. The meat is meeting new people, getting new perpectives, realising how big the industry is and that you are just one of many smart people out there. For more experienced operators you can sign up sub affiliates. I did that successfully in the past and made a ton from it (i.e. sub affiliates bringing in 100+ players per month to a program).
The fact Mark organises this and is marketing to affiliates and appealing to the casinos to pass some of their profit onto affiliates and participate in affiliate education is good. If you have “experienced Mark” you will know that he is a good guy who has the best interests of the industry at heart.
Now if you guys want to sign up as sub affiliates then I know just the programs for you
