Seas of change Welcome to Issue 58 of the GPWA Times Magazine, the inaugural edition for 2024! In keeping with our tradition spanning over a decade, we are excited to kick off the New Year by participating in ICE London and iGB Affiliate London. Of course, this will be the final year that these two pivotal events will be held at ExCeL in the great city of London since both will shift to Barcelona beginning in 2025. In this issue, we interview two key executives from Clarion Gaming – Stuart Hunter and Naomi Barton – who discuss the details of the transition for not only ICE and iGB Affiliate, but also iGB L!VE, which moves from Amsterdam to London starting next year. Also in this issue, regular contributor LeeAnn Johnstone from Affiverse returns with some practical techniques you can employ in order to grow and expand your iGaming affiliate operation. In addition, iGaming industry veteran Connie Burstin compares the relationship between affiliate managers and affiliates to the dating game and has advice on how to foster those partnerships, while Latin American consultant Samantha Asensi explains how affiliates should and could penetrate the evolving LatAm market. Elsewhere in the following pages you can explore our regular features, including an insightful Q&A with a very unique GPWA member, a vibrant photo gallery from SiGMA Europe, which took place in Malta last November, new rankings from iGamingDirectory.com, and the latest addition to our APCW Wall of Shame. If you’re attending the London events, please drop by the GPWA stand and say hello. For those not yet subscribed, remember that our magazine is free! Simply visit GPWAtimes.org/subscribe/.
