Full steam ahead for EiG Copenhagen
 

Clarion Gaming, organisers of the 8th Annual European iGaming Congress and Expo, which takes place in Copenhagen this year between 15 and 17 September, report steady progress as the speaker list takes shape.

The official agenda for the event can now be downloaded from http://www.eigexpo.com/2009/?page=brochure. The program is the distillation of consultations with over a hundred industry specialists and business leaders, and is packed with high-impact features to enhance information exchange and networking at EiG.

Confirmed speakers thus far include:

* Kristian Jensen, Minister of Taxation, Denmark who will open EiG on Tuesday and give details on the upcoming market liberalisation in Denmark.

* Paul B. Carroll, Co-Author, Billion Dollar Lessons - What You Can Learn from the Most Inexcusable Business Failures of the Last 25 Years who will identify the most common business mistakes, drawing from his analysis of over 700 corporate failures, and provide some advice on how to avoid them.

* Christian Lindholm, Managing Partner, Fjord and creator of the Nokia Series 60 user interface who will share some lessons learned over the past 15 years at Nokia and Yahoo! on how to make mobile propositions more user friendly.

* James Cashmore, Industry Leader - Entertainment and Media, Google UK who will talk about maximising online exposure opportunities to acquire more loyal customers in a cost-effective and trackable way.

Yet another conference for affiliates....

iGaming Business, which appears to have taken over the affiliate conference business formerly dominated by the disgraced Casino Affiliate Programs, has announced that it's next outing for affiliate marketers will be in Budapest, Hungary.

Scheduled for 10-13 September 2009, the affiliate conference will be criticised by some as too close to the must-attend European Interactive Gaming Conference and Expo (EiG), the 8th edition of which is to be held in Copenhagen only two weeks later.

In a statement this week, iGaming Business advises: “PartyPartners.com and AffClub.com are proud to be the Platinum sponsors of the Budapest Affiliate Conference. Our focus on localising our brands is delighting customers across Central and Eastern Europe."
