Canadian Meetup Details

[Jeremy]

As many of you know we are planning a Canadian Meetup. The reason for this is because as of lately, most of our events have been in Europe and sometimes can be difficult for Canadians and U.S. people to get to. This meetup is open to anyone in the world however.

This meetup is being sponsored by 888.com, and is going to me more informal. There won't be any booths or speaker sessions, however there WILL BE a lot of fun. This is more of an opportunity for a bunch of us to just get together at a great location and chill out for a weekend. Bringing your spouse or significant other is also encouraged, as I will be bringing a few of mine.

Please use this forum to share any suggesstions or advice you may have. Here are the initial plans.


Dates: Friday Evening September 5th - Sunday Sept 7th
Hotel: Fallsview Casino & Resort Hilton

Friday: Everyone checks in and can casually meet up, maybe hit the casino or some bars, it is fairly open.

Saturday: Maybe a brunch and a few words from our sponsor. Followed by that we will be embarking on a ride next to Niagara Falls on the famous Maid of The Mist.

After this we can take the rest of the afternoon to explore Niagara, gamble, or do whatever. That evening 888 will be hosting a formal dinner for us at a restaurant overlooking Niagara Falls. After that my guess is that we will end up at a night club somewhere or partying til the wee hours of the morning.

Sunday: Since this is a get away and a relaxing trip, spend Sunday doing whatever makes you happy! I'm sure some people will get together though to hang out.


These are the initial plans, however I am open to any suggesstions or changes. I am reserving a block of rooms, and I'll have the room costs by Monday.

Looking great. I wish I could go this year, but maybe 2009!

Why is this being treated differently than other affiliate conventions?

There are a TON of Canadian affiliates, and having the opportunity to meet with lots of programs would be of a great benefit.

Wouldn't it make more sense to not just organize a weekend at the casino, but rather an opportunity to have a more business oriented event?

Well I believe they are working on something for next year, when the meetup was suggested it was an informal get together because many of us are within 2 hour driving distance from each other so it was just a weekend to kind of meet, hang out and have some fun. Jeremy was very cool in getting a sponsor...and quite a few of the AM's will be there ( to have fun )



Thanks J!
