A few weeks ago, the idea of doing a Canadian meet-up event this summer was brought up in a thread in the PAP forums.
In the poker affiliate market, Canada has become one of the fastest growing segments. There are literally hundreds, if not thousands of Canadian poker webmasters.
Since the UIGEA, every industry conference or gathering has been hosted far from North America in a European country. Both Canadian and U.S. affiliates have been asking for an event closer to North America, and PAP has listened! Unlike the traditional poker conference or industry event however, The Canadian meet-up is going to be all about fun and networking.
The initial plans are to host the meet-up in Niagara Falls the last weekend in August or the first weekend in September. We have already secured our main sponsor for the event, and it will be the affiliate department at 888.com.
This will be a great “non formal” event for affiliates from Canada and North America to get together, have fun, and finish the summer with a bang. Stay tuned to PAP for more information on the event. We also have an official thread running in our forums where you can share your thoughts or idea.
This is great news Jeremy. I am a pretty new affiliate and was heart-broken when the Poker Conference was announced for Cyprus since there is no way for me to get there from California in the middle of the week since I work full time. I am glad you have taken us little guys into account. And I look forward to drinking you all under the table.
I will be there for sure in August! A full blown Poker Conference 2009 in Canada or Mexico would be awesome as well. Think on it homie.
Why are they always so far away lol. Would love to come but it looks dubtful
I think when I visit the States this Xmas for longer period, I can be part of any meet up coming up after Nov this year
Lucky you lol. Just out of interest how does your fitness site do? I was seriously thinking about going into the fitness niche but wasn’t quite sure it was all that profitable. How are the conversions to products etc?
