AffPapa celebrates hugely successful iGaming Club London event
AffPapa has hailed the monumental success of its recent iGaming Club networking event that hosted over 250 industry affiliates, operators and providers in London.
The second in a series of networking events for the biggest names in iGaming saw leading companies in attendance including Betsson Group, Campeon Affiliates, Raketech, AskGamblers, Sofascore, CatenaMedia, Soft2Bet and Casino Guru.
Having sold out its initial capacity of 200 seats in the week leading up the landmark event, organisers made additional seating available at the De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms, to accommodate for iGaming Club’s extremely high demand, with over 500 registrations recorded in total.
As part of the one-of-a-kind iGaming Club experience, AffPapa kicked-off proceedings with a unique speed dating event that assisted attendees in finding possible partners more efficiently. The hosts provided special tables divided into sections that facilitated networking and an opportunity for companies to showcase their products, services and develop relationships with other brands.
Upon the conclusion of welcome drinks and speed dating, guests enjoyed an exclusive networking dinner where they were provided an opportunity to spend time with friends, colleagues, and new acquaintances.
During dinner, Levon Nikoghosyan, CEO of AffPapa, and Yeva Avagyan, Head of Commercials, shared exciting plans for the upcoming iGaming Club event in Malta in conjunction with iGaming NEXT. The event will take place from June 20 – 22 and will see AffPapa host its second annual iGaming Awards, shining a light on the strongest performers in the industry.
Levon Nikoghosyan, CEO at AffPapa, said: “iGaming Club went beyond our expectations. We had astounding amount of interest towards our event and had already sold out a week prior to it, leading us to disable registration for the last couple of days. We see the huge demand, and we’ll make sure to take that into account and welcome each and every registrant at our upcoming Malta event in June.”
