Affiliate Grand Slam in Tallinn this April
Come 2017, the organizers of SIGMA wanted to raise the bar a little higher and decided to create a new formula for a smaller, more intimate event. With the backing of five operators, each of which will be an official, exclusive host, they are flying 200 affiliates to charming Baltic city of Tallinn, Estonia, for two nights of quality entertainment and networking.
In the words of Eman Pulis: “The formula is simple: we will fly 200 quality affiliates, no expenses saved – flights, two nights at the Hilton, wining and dining, networking poker tourney and more. Five operators will be able to host this Grand Slam. We chose carefully five operators who have something innovative to offer, who are launching a new product with an edge, whom affiliates would be interested to meet for the very first time.”
The organizers wanted to give the affiliates a good reason to meet them in Estonia, so they lined up the following five:
1. EGO, launching their new brand PlayOJO
2. Betting Gods, offering an innovative subscription based sports book affiliate deal
3. Olybet, offering an omnichannel alternative where Nordic players can play online as well as land-based in all their Olympic Casinos
4. Quasar, launching their new brand OVO
5. VideoSlots, one of the fastest growing casinos in the market
Why AGS? Why Tallinn?
TRAVEL TIME: First and foremost because the focus will be predominantly (not exclusively) on affiliates from nearby countries, thus enabling them to fly more affiliates, and making it less taxing to travel. Put succinctly a one hour flight is less likely to disrupt work commitments than a twelve hour connected flight! The venue is six minutes away from the small airport too.
COSTS: Shorter flights mean cheaper tickets too! Plus, why stay at a three star hotel in Oslo when you can get a five star all inclusive for the equivalent price in Tallinn? Let’s be honest, on 200 affiliates, costs will add up!
DISCOVERY: The city is buzzing with tech startups and provides an ideal e-infrastructure, specifically for nearby Nordics. With ninety-minute commutes and much cheaper wages, Tallinn may provide an alternative destination for business relocation. KPMG Tallinn have prepared an informative presentation about all this!
CONFERENCE: The organizers are carefully carving out a number of short presentation and power panels, combined with speed dating, workshops, Q&A sessions and fishbowls with topics that will interest each and every affiliate in the room. No boring sales pitches, no self-inflating ego trips – just quality content.
ENTERTAINMENT: They are gunning on all fronts to guarantee the right conference-unwind balance and have no doubt that the entertainment program in Tallinn will leave affiliates craving for more!
Ultimately, all guns point to SiGMA; they want to bring these affiliates closer to our show in November, closer to what they do back in Malta.
Are you an affiliate? Contact the organizers or any of the above five operators today, register today and, come April, mingle with fellow affiliates and great brands. Find out if you qualify for this unique treat. Enjoy Making Money with our very first run of Affiliate Grand Slam!
