While most eyes in the online affiliate industry will be on London for CAP Euro 2008 this month, many affiliates are also gearing up for another popular convention. The 2008 Amsterdam Casino Affiliate Convention, or CAC Amsterdam, takes place in just ten weeks and will be held at the luxurious Grand Krasnapolsky Hotel in the heart of the city.

This year, affiliates new to the industry that register with CAC Amsterdam have the opportunity to attend the three day conference free of charge. So if you’re a new affiliate and you’re interested in becoming involved with the European online gaming market, CAC Amsterdam is for you.

CAC Amsterdam will focus on traditional marketing and new marketing techniques for the casino industry. Affiliate marketing topics will include how to grow your business in the European region and how to recognise new opportunities to gain the upper hand over your competition. Several major casino firms have already signed up as the major sponsors of the event and space for exhibitors is filling up quickly in anticipation of the Netherlands’ largest affiliate event.

In recent years, new affiliates have made up as much as 30 percent of the number of total attendees at the Casino Affiliate Convention. Attending the convention will help you to meet new affiliate managers and peers. It will also help you to increase your knowledge when you attend seminars on how to negotiate revenue models with affiliate managers and how to increase traffic volumes.

As a new affiliate, you’re likely to be dazzled by the sheer size of CAC Amsterdam. Many of the industry’s wealthiest and most successful executives are traditional attendees and most of the major players in European online gaming can be found in the exhibition hall. What better way to get your affiliate career off the ground than by rubbing shoulders with the best at CAC Amsterdam?

Casino conventions are popular events, no matter where they take place around the globe.

At VC we stay connected with the online affiliate community. Every year there are a number of affiliate conventions that take place at different venues around the globe.

If you’re a VC Affiliate or interested in becoming one, you may want to attend an upcoming convention to find out more about how the industry works and ways to improve your performance.

Online Casino affiliate marketing conventions usually focus on specific markets such as Europe or Asian. The core issues discussed at these conventions usually revolve around marketing and advertising in the gaming industry. Many casino executives come out to these conventions in order to share their knowledge and learn about what’s new in the industry.

The conventions also offer affiliates and members of the gaming industry the option to set up their own booths in the exhibit area. These events are known to draw thousands of attendees eager to learn about the latest and greatest tips and strategies for generating higher revenues online. In some cases, affiliates are even sponsored by their affiliate program to attend as an extra incentive, offering them the chance to network.

VC Affiliates attending these conventions will have the chance to check out what’s happening on the main exhibition floor while making new contacts. Usually there are several keynote speakers who offer insight into the industry. Panels are also set up in order to create an open forum where people can discuss hot topics and share thoughts on affiliate gaming.

VC affiliates keen to expand their knowledge and success in the casino affiliate industry are expected to flock to Macau later this month. The Casino Affiliate Convention will be hosted by the Asian gambling capital on November 28 and 29 and presents a unique opportunity for VC affiliates to network and learn more about the new opportunities offered in the online gambling sector.

As affiliate marketing expands in the industry, insiders predict that many more affiliate conferences will be established to cater for the burgeoning number of established affiliates. While Macau will host the inaugural session of the Casino Affiliate Convention, rumours are already citing Russia as the next host of a major conference for European based affiliates.

The last few weeks have seen several exclusive events hosted by VC purely for VC affiliates. On the 4th of October, the CAP Euro event took place in Barcelona, where delegates were given the opportunity to meet with VC affiliate managers. The conference concluded on the 7th of October where some lucky attendees were able to watch the live FC Barcelona v Atletico Madrid football match courtesy of VC. Later in the month, the a4u Expo was hosted in London’s Excel Centre, creating further opportunities for VC affiliates to network and gain more of an insight into VC’s affiliate campaigns.
