GPWA Times Magazine - Issue 37 - February 2017

Berlin: ‘The Perfect Location’ Since last year’s combination of the Berlin Affiliate Conference and Excellence in iGaming was such a resounding success, with thousands of delegates in attendance, the organizers of BAC decided to stick with the German capital instead of seeking out another city with “B” in its name to host the formerly Barcelona-based event. “Following such a successful 2016 event, there was no question that BACwould be returning to Berlin next year,” said iGaming Business’ head of operations Shona O’Donnell. “Affiliates and operators alike have consistently told us that the conference is one of the highlights of the gaming calendar, and we plan on making the 2017 event bigger and better than ever.” Added EiG Event Director Rory Credland: “With its central location and reputation as an innovation and tech hub, Berlin is the perfect location for the 2017 event.” We couldn’t agree more. So, as we look forward to another trip the German capital later this year, allow us to provide you a photo recap of the 2016 goings-on. As always, the GPWA cameras were in attendance chronicling everything – the exhibition booths, the panels, the speeches and the after-hour parties. Prost!
