Hi everyone,
I have been asked to do a 30 minute session on ‘Marketing’ at the upcoming CAC in Montreal. As everyone knows ‘Marketing’ is a vast topic and our company Chalk does a lot of different things. We do work for operators, affiliates, affiliate managers, non-gaming clients, etc.My question to you, what do you think I should cover in my session?
Take a look at the agenda that is posted on the CAC site and let me know what holes I should fill in.Thanks.

As for someone from Chalk, I guess you guys could talk about content and the importance of. I used to work for BetUS and I know we used you guys there and you offered a great service.
I can’t wait to hear how people explain Ruby on Rails to people, I am a graduate software engineer, I would love to hear how that is explained and received by everyone :hattip:
Chalk – you are great content providers so perhaps a seminar on the importance of that? I know you do a lot of sports content and it’s a slightly difference market but if you can cross the divide and show how some of your principles are applicable to gaming affiliates (non sports) that would be great. There are a few sports affiliate guys on here too would like to hear about your service too I am sure! :rockband:
Our two usual sponsors programs don’t seem to be exhibiting, so we are on the lookout for someone to sport us some passes.
We can definitely promise some good poker players for the courteous sponsor! :hattip:
Thanks
OryP.S – Mark it seems the Hotel does not know about the CAC group rate.
It seems like there are hardly any exhibitors for this. Is this still going on for sure?
I dont think many people are going. I have decided that I’m not. None of the programs I deal with are showing up.
Mark and Greg both told me that a lot of people are going.
PS. I’ll be there neckin’ really bad french beer – Le Fin du Monde or maybe even enjoying Molson Ex which you can’t get out here in the west. If you wanna go for a pint gimmie a shout :capmiami:
My only wish is that hockey season had begun so I could watch a Habs game.
Well its a bit of a problem there are no exhibitors as their are no programs giving out passes. Don’t feel like like buying 2-3 tickets when there are 4 exhibitors in there.:tooconfus
Mark, any news?

That was kind of my point. Right now there is no value for the high ticket cost. A hand full of exhibitors, many of the speakers from past conferences, no parties…. where is the incentive to attend???
Just saw this as I am traveling.
We continue to get registrations for this event. Many major players are coming down.
I said from the beginning, “this event is for the ‘die hards’ in the business.” Its in August and its in North America. I think we’re all smart enough on this forum to know what it implies and entails. Simply put, we do not expect 1000 people like we had in Amsterdam several months ago.
If there is an affiliate program you are looking for, contact them and ask if they will be participating.
Weblight, fill out the sponsored affiliate form. Give as much info as possible. We are working with several programs that want new affiliates. Things should end up being fine on that end.
I’m updating the agenda this weekend. We have several new speakers to add.

Has anyone decided to come? haven’t heard many developments on this.
while the incentives are good…… not so sure the truth behind the front…… is as such.
ya…. it’ll be diehards….. no doubt.
I don’t know Marc… though i have always thought you were a seller first.. and told truth second. .
sorry if that’s to the bone… I have no reason to feel different.
Well, I think that Mark has put together very good events in the past and look forward to this one also.
A bigger attendance would be nice though.
To all the ones who asked me, I wont be able to be at CAC in Montral since we are launching within 7 days…
I will be at CAPEROP and I will post there to the ones who wants to meet me…

bb1webs – We never met? I thought we met sometime in the past. It seems to me that I’ve seen you on the boards forever….your screen name stands out in my mind for a long time.
Then again, I’ve met alot of affiliates. I thought I’ve pretty much met most of the ‘old-timers’ by now.
As for the event…we would love to see a crowd the size of Amsterdam (over 1000 people). But we need to be realistic here. I’ve never hidden that fact.
Still, quite a few people are coming. We should have most of the sponsored affiliates taken care of by this week or early next.
