Bump for you Andreas.
I like the new open/democratic approach.
You and Panos saw it in Holland first hand, it simply works.

It certainly does !! turn on your skype :winkwink:

I soooo wanna be there!

Ah shit, I see Skype has been off since a got a new PC last week. Turning it back on now.

Looking forward to it. European precision. :thumbsup

Killer, Andreas! Had a blast at the last show. And that last lunch by the beach... above and beyond the call, for sure.

Hopefully I can make this one, too. ;)

Looking forward to this show

Great show..... :)

Barcelona is my fav city in all of Spain! Perhaps in all of Europe.

I'll be there for sure, my first show in spain :)

In an additional effort to reduce the costs for all webmasters, in my last post I posted hotels and hostals starting from 40 Euros, which are located only five minutes from the event hotel.

Here now some flight recommendations that hopefully help to take some extra weight of every webmaster's budget...


From ITALY - starting at 24 Euro return:

Thanks for your input!

Outstanding as usual, thank you Andreas and Walter!

Last show was also very good... keep up the good work!
Andreas helped me a lot on the event and also afterwards.

Thanks!

check skyscanner.net for flights

The show last year was excellent

Wouldn't that be great!!?!!!


I am looking forward for that great city and the great show. Hope to see you all there...

What other points must we add to our schedule ( http://www.thebarcelonasummit.com/en/schedule )? Anything we are missing to make the next Summit a great event for affiliates and webmaster? What are the "hot topics" that are on the top of their minds for affiliates and webmasters at the current moment? What would you like to learn more about? What would we have to provide for you, so that our next show would become more relevant for you?

Thanks a lot for your input!
Andreas

I may be wrong here, but how many affiliates do you see at the shows these days? It's mostly affiliate programs, billing companies, mobile technology providers, content producers and hosting companies.

The few affiliates that are present are big affiliates who can afford 5* hotels and they represent what, 5% of the total people attending?

Don't get me wrong, I love the BCN Summit and advise anyone who ask me to attend. But do we still believe the adult shows should be for affiliates, with conferences for affiliates?

You are absolutely right, I see no affiliates nor webmasters at the other major shows these days.

That is correct. That is why we try to make a difference this time by reducing the costs for affiliates to attend the Summit to a maximum. I think with accomodation starting at 40 Euro, flights starting at 16 Euro return, and ZERO Euro entrance fee, and free parties & entertainment, it should be possible for affiliates to attend - especially for affiliates from Spain and France who live in driving distance from the Summit.

We try to keep the OVERALL costs for the webmaster at BELOW 200 Euro for the whole show weekend.

I think adult shows still should be there for the whole adult online industry.

But hey, if we do not manage to bring in at least 50-100 affiliates by offering accomodation from 40 Euro, finding them flights from 16 Euro on, letting them in for free, offering free parties and entertainment to them, developing the affiliate education with webmasters for webmasters, and inviting them to an awesome weekend trip destination like Barcelona (girlfriend friendly) ... if all that does not pay off, and we do not manage to attract at least 50-100 affiliates to our February 2011 event, then I will have to agree with you, and will also stop trying, I promise :) :)

I would try to make it to Barcelona this Year ! Its a great show !

There is al least one affiliate comming, i will be there.

Now the enrance is free, i am looking for flight and hotel sponsors!
I can wear a shirt and put on the front: XXX payed my flight
And on the back: XXX payed my Hotel

I have sponsor banners on my site, why not on my shirt :)

.XXX is paying for your flight and hotel? :)

Hey guys,

The video of the September 2011 Summit is now online!

Enjoy!
Andreas

haha, forgot that .xxx is also a business now. I mean a xxx business.

No they are not sponsoring me, the only cost me money for nothing, but you get the promo chicks for free.

That sounds like an awesome deal to me!! You pay 60 bucks for a domain and you get a promo chick for free...?? Then I'd even buy TWO domains - at the same time ;) :)

Yes, free to watch, not to touch.

But what is better, an promo babe with promo banners on her shirt.
Or an affiliate that also knows what he is talking about.
Brains or Boobs?

Than i must say boobs. Sex sells.

There goes my plan.

I've actually met webmasters at the Barcelona and Amsterdam show. While the US shows are heavy with B2B attendees, there are many EU webmasters attending the EU shows, most of them telling me they will never attend a US show but are happy that there are at least 2 to look forward to.

are you coming this time Cindy?

I might have to signup soon for this one.

FREE is always an awesome deal! ;)

Andreas, its FREE? In that case I will take 2!

Here is :thumbsup :thumbsup for a great show and excellent business environment.
