Alex, some questions though most people are probably interested in:
1. If we will go on a med cruise (which is really cool), how much would it cost and how long will it take? Where do you plan to stop (which cities?)
2. Do you leave enough room for people to attend to CAC Moscow (7-8 June) ?
3. I heard something about a PAP Conference in Sweden, any more news on that one (dates, plans)
4. Can you tell us about the plans next year?Please try to answer all questions as detailed as possible. Lot’s of affiliates like to know the future
Right
1. We are negotiating the best possible deal we can get so will get a cost that no one else can simply get phoning up and again we will relay this cost straight onto the affiliate. It is likely to be a 4 or 5 night cruise starting in Barcelona and working its way around Italy – The boat is docked each day and I believe only sails at night – ALSO – Anyone concerned about sea sickness the Med is as calm as can be so you have no worries there. These boats are like mini cities with so much stuff on them it is silly! It should be a lot of fun!
2. It will be very tight – Springbreak has always been at the end of May begining of June so I am not sure why CAC has been planned in here but to be honest Springbreak isn’t about 1000’s of people. Anyone that has been before will tell; you it is a really relaxed affair where people have well earned holiday whilst doing a bit of business. I have to say Springbreak has been my best event every year since I started attending both for personal and business reasons – It is an amazing party an experience and best of all I can do business in flip flops and shorts with a huge cocktail!
I also suspect Moscow although a good idea is likely to be much like Montreal and Macau with small attendance.
3.This is something we are planning – We want to do it this year and it is likely to be in August in Stockholm however it is not going to be a huge exhibition type event but more a really good conference with smaller stands. We will be completely concentrating on poker at the event and will be looking to get really high end content and top notch people to the event. I expect around 150 – 250 in attendance
4. I think that is the plans so far :sarcasm: What we really don’t want to do is saturate this market with hundreds of events that aren’t goinmg to be of any use to us, the sponsors and importantly the attendees (affiliates) but if there is a gap and you want us to host something tell us and we will investigate it
Oh – And as long as the law allows it there will be an ASOP at every event we do
