Apart from a few things I think it went brilliantly and so far the feedback we have had has been excellent ranging from the speakers to the parties – In the end we had just over 1,600 people attend which I think is just unbelievable considering 2 years ago we had 600 and a year ago around 900 – The industry just keeps growing – Can’t wait until Amsterdam where I want to break the 2,000 mark!
Ya, American Idol 911 has some choice words:
Yea read that – I really have no idea what we have done to Gambling 911 and will be composing an open letter to them because its getting silly – Their articles range from telling people ETA will blow them up if they come to CAP Euro Barcelona, through to me being arrested for the ASOP – They seem to have it in for our events which is funny since it only seemed to begin after we stopped working with them :wink-wink
Thankfully most people ignore their content and belive the facts – Seriously though it was definitely the best event to date and once I collect the testimonials I will copy and paste them here
To be honest, I really enjoyed this conference – the CAP Awards was superb and the CAP staff at the Novotel were simply unbelievable considering the lack of sleep and hard work they put into it!
Kudos to Alex too who I am sure is needing his sleep
This really was a great conference and it just keeps getting better at each event. I’m really looking forward to Cacuun and Amsterdam.
A while back Gambling911 had an article implying that I hired prostitutes while at a sporstbook gathering with vipprofits/nine in Costa Rica. This was far from the truth.
They are garbage and get exposure and links from people constantly posting and referencing the worthless unsubstantiated articles.
Dont trust anything they post.
Conference was nice, Hotel was ok, Londons good.
Only thing that SUCKS , is im still stuck here due to the snow, flight was cancelled , have to wait till tommorow to get another, but theres supposed to be a big storm again tonight so might get stuck again.
The conference was good, as usual except the incident with steven. But things were pretty normal after that. I guess the concerned parties have buried the differences and have agreed to work towards a common goal. I have partied with Steven, Michael, Mark, Warren, Alex and things seem to be cordial and normal. The junior Corfman even accompanied us to the casino, post coins party.
It was great catching up with old friends and meeting new ones. Thanks to all the participants and the organizers. Thanks Alex, Warren, Lou, Dom, Michael, Mark and everyone for making this a wonderful gathering.
Sorry to hear that you are stranded Lenny. Most of the city is paralyzed with the extreme (for London) weather and the air traffic was very badly affected. The prediction is not good for tomorrow, but hopefully you get your flight. Till that time make some snowmen and relax in London mate
Hi All,
Thank you for the news and good to hear that show went well.
It was great meeting scubaguy – I wish we had had more time to talk. At every conference I meet at the very least one person who leaves a lasting impression.
Unfortunately I had a splitting headache through most of the conference, and the last day the flu raised it’s ugly head and I had to stay in my room and try to get my bearings for the long trip back.
That made me miss the Golden Longe cruise which I was much looking forward to.
Overall it was a good conference as always, good to meet all the managers again and I made some new deals, as I do at every conference.
I also think that maybe the much publicized disturbance may in the end have laid a new base for communication and cooperation.
I want to particularly thank Alex for everything – I have yet to find mistakes in any of the decisions he made over the years. Putting on an event of this caliber is no small feat, good going Alex!
Yep well done Alex and the CAP team the conference was a blast and possibly my best one yet in terms of business.
I met a bunch of new people and enjoyed the evening events as usual.
But I really want to find out if the Pizza guy found his moped, does anyone know?

Ouch… unlucky.
Good to meet you at the awards!
Great show and this time I actually was not stressed as before so I had time to let my hair down and enjoy myself. I arrived just in time for the ICE party and started meeting old faces here and used Thursday as a relaxation day. On Friday morning I went to register and it was a line that can only be described as being similar to mexicans trying to enter the US (it was long and took a while to get my badge, but once again hats off as this shows a true sign of progression from a small show to what now is considered an industry landmark convention).
I walked around the stands on both floors and saw many old faces there as well several newbies to the industry. I personally did not have a stand and instead inserted my brochures inside the conference bags (a glossy EarnReal brochure promoting the SPORTSBETTING.COM and RaceBook.com affiliate programs).
In the evening I went for a bite to eat in China Town followed by attending the Friday night party which was open bar till 12am. I did not get wasted at this party as I was sitting on the forex and sports betting panel the following morning.
On Friday I sat on both panels and was pleasantly surprised how many people are interested in promoting the forex biz, and how few are actually involved in this industry as affiliates (my site for those interested is forex-rates.biz). The sports betting panel was a success but some of the questions asked to me could of been harder.
In the evening I had a meal with the guys from BetUS (and thanks Erin for buying me dinner!), followed by attending the Casino Coins party. Casino Coins truly new how to have a good party and I was there till gone 4am, followed by going back to the hotel and drinking with managers and affiliates till 9am (yes 9am!).
Sunday was a lazy day for me as you can imagine and in the evening I watched the Super Bowl. The snow in London was unbelievable even for a seasoned brit like me and Monday saw several delays on the train and at the airport, but luckily my train ran on time and was not affected.
See you at the next show,
This was one of the largest and wildest CAP conferences we have had so far! I met tons of affiliates and affiliate managers all of who were enjoying themselves to the core.
The two exhibition days were packed with everyone working and networking like crazy.
The parties were amazing, there were masseuses, open bars, foot stomping music, and much more.Although, there was a bit of tension it is pretty much water under the bridge now. Nothing to keep discussing when there are so many more important things to discuss like what is happening in OUR industry. So lets get crackin! :hattip:
