Official PokerConference & CAP SpringBreak Thread

[alexpratt]

If you haven't heard we have an awesome week planned for May in Cyprus which like all our events is free of charge for affiliates to attend.

The week kicks off with a specific poker affiliate conference which will have a very intimate community feel to it with no huge stands and some really high end poker specific contents - This will then be followed by CAP SpringBreak which is basically a 3/4 day relaxed networking event with sponsored activities and networking events ranging from trips out on teh island to beach parties. This may not sound like work but you really do get loads out of it; I went to my first CAP SpringBreak 3 years ago in Miami and it was by far the best and most useful event I have ever been to.

Further details can be found at Cap Spring Break and PokerConference.com but I will be posting developments in this thread as and when I have them.

CAP Spring Break to descend on Europe
After 5 successful years, CAP Spring Break, the biggest 4 day affiliate party in the industry is on tour and crossing the Atlantic to the luxurious island of Cyprus

For the past 6 years CasinoAffiliatePrograms.com have organized a fun, casual networking spring break event in paradise locations ranging from Miami Beach to the Bahamas and 2008 will be no different with the event moving to the sunny shore of Cyprus from May 21st – 24th which is immediately after the Poker Conference happening in the same venue.

Each year hundreds of the most progressive and influential people in the industry descend to a luxurious location to attend fun and exciting networking events sponsored by the leading internet gaming properties. CAP Spring Break is not your typical conference. This event not only seeks to educate and influence the industry, but also grows affiliate relationships via friendly networking. It is like no other event you have ever been to before and will change your entire outlook on how a business event should be run, Louis Fabiano, Founder of Casino Affiliate Programmes commented:

“CAP Spring Break is coming to Europe and it looks to be our biggest and best gathering yet! Of the all the conferences and gatherings we do each year this is my personal favorite and most CAP Members agree. Cyprus with it’s beautiful beaches, great clubs, and inexpensive drinks is the perfect fit for CAP Spring Break. Mrs. Professor and I are already packed!”

The event is being staged at the newly refurbished Grand Resort, a 5* luxurious beach side resort in the sunny and popular holiday town of Limassol. Perfectly situated just 30 minutes away from both of the islands two airports, the holiday resort is an ideal host for such an international and varied delegation of affiliates and operators alike. This year’s event is backing onto a new entry in the affiliate conference industry.

The inaugural Poker Conference 2008, will take place on May 19th to 21st at The Grand Resort, directly preceding Spring Break. Having two events in the one hotel, both free for affiliates to attend, should guarantee a good turnout and a spectacular event.
With such a relaxed atmosphere business is far more easily achieved and pool side meetings with a frozen margherita are a guaranteed. The event motto of ‘Outdrink, Outplay, Outearn’ ensures this is going to be one hell of a party!

First CAP SpringBreak Event announced

Prime Gaming and EGO (the affiliate arm of RedKings and BGroom) have announced they will be jointly hosting a beach barbeque onThursday 22nd May

In true CAP SpringBreak style the first sponsored event announced by the organizers is a fantastic beach barbeque taking place on the first full day of the event straight after the final table of the ASOP (Affiliate Series of Poker) so the winner can celebrate in true Cyprus style.

Like any event that takes place at CAP SpringBreak this won’t be just any old barbeque on the beach with warm beer and burnt sausages. In fact the sponsors have promised this will be a party you won’t want to miss out on with plenty of surprises and Cypriot themed twists to the event from souvlaki, sheftlalia and haloumi to specially selected Cypriot cocktails and surprises.

“I am really pleased excited about this event – It really shows the commitment these guys have for making CAP SpringBreak in Cyprus the best one yet” commented Louis Fabiano, founder of CasinoAffiliatePrograms.com and CAP SpringBreak. “You just can’t beat hanging out at a barbeque with friends and colleagues from the affiliate community, and not just any barbeque, this is the ultimate in barbeques with an incredible location coupled with traditional Cypriot food and drink.”

The barbeque itself will be taking place at Drops Café bar which is located literally on the beach providing affiliates with an incredible backdrop of sun, sea and sand to enjoy – In fact the barbeque runs all the way from midday to seven pm which means guests will also be able to enjoy the incredible Cyprus sun set before setting off for the next CAP SpringBreak event!

If you want to thank the sponsors before or after the event you will find them both exhibiting at the Poker Conference, which takes place for the two days preceding CAP SpringBreak. Their well known brands include RedKings Poker, BGroom, Prime Casino, Prime Poker and Prime Scratchcards.
