CAP Euro Sponsors SES London Party

by Rob Kerry - Posted on

CAP Euro Amsterdam

We thought that it would be nigh-on-impossible to find a sponsor for the first big LondonSEO event of 2009, mid-recession, although we were approached today by our friends over at CAP Euro (who sponsored LondonSEO beers for SMX London last year). They have kindly offered to once again supply us with a generous beer fund for our SEO, Affiliate and PPC brethren.

Casino Affiliate Programs Europe (CAP Euro for short) is a company that organises conferences for those involved in internet marketing for the online gaming industry. While other sectors have struggled during the current economic climate, online gaming is as strong as ever and affiliate commissions continue to be prosperous.

From Thursday 30th April to Sunday 3rd May 2009, CAP Euro will be in Amsterdam for an event like no-other. The even-greater thing for you guys is that affiliate marketers and people interested in becoming an affiliate (weekend project, part-time or full-time), can attend both the conference and parties absolutely free! All you’ll need is a cheap EasyJet flight and a bargain hotel room (of which there are many), and you can access the knowledge-base that other conferences charge up to £1,000 for.

You want more? Well our friends at CAP Euro will also be giving away a free stay at the official CAP Euro conference hotel to one lucky winner, during LondonSEO. Everyone that gets a wristband for free beer at Thursday’s event, will also get entered into the draw. Remember to bring business cards with you to LondonSEO, as you’ll need one in order to get a wristband and the liquid love that comes with it.

== IMPORTANT ==
LondonSEO sponsors donate a lot to our attendees, so that we can network and have a good time. Please show your gratitude by helping our sponsors in return.

SES London Speakers – Please mention Thursday’s LondonSEO event (and sponsor) during your presentations, as apparently not everyone knows about LondonSEO.org yet 🙂
SES London & LondonSEO Attendees – Please seriously consider attending CAP Euro in Amsterdam, it is truly a fantastic event (with amazing parties). And let’s face it, a £50 flight to Amsterdam and £200 hotel room is a lot cheaper than attending even the major London conferences.

Lastly, I’m currently in talks with CAP Euro and Matthew Wood from a4u Expo, in an effort to launch our first LondonSEO Abroad. Affiliates4u has a conference in Amsterdam just before CAP Euro, and we will most likely organise a joint party on the day in-between the 2 conferences. More info to come about that, but just another reason why you should join us all at CAP Euro in Amsterdam 🙂

LondonSEO – The Recession Session, February 19th

by Rob Kerry - Posted on

G’day London. It’s time for another LondonSEO event, and as the newest member of the highly organised event management team, it’s fallen upon me to tell you about the event that I couldn’t attend in 2008 due to being on the other side of the bloody world. This was how I felt about the situation, sitting in Seattle.

After much doubt, concern and letters to various MPs, there will indeed be a LondonSEO party during SES London this year. As was the case last year, the event will take place at the Camden Head in Islington. The pub is only a few minutes’ walk from SES London’s venue, the Business Design Centre.

So that’s all excellent, isn’t it? You’d not think that any bad news could come out of such a great post, but unfortunately, we have some. Due to the current state of the economy and the fact that I’ve only just showed up in London and haven’t had time to whip Rob’s organisational skills into shape, we don’t have a sponsor for the upcoming event. But that’s not going to stop a bunch of British SEOs from showing up at this pub though, is it?

Camden Head

To summarise, for those of you who didn’t bother reading my drivel, here are the important details:

Date: Thursday 19st Feb 2009

Time: 17:00 – until late

Venue: Camden Head, Islington

Nearest station: Angel

State your intent to join us by signing up for the Facebook event, or else we might not let you in 😉 See you there!

SMX London – Beers and Secret Handshakes

by Rob Kerry - Posted on

I’m delighted to announce the LondonSEO networking party for SMX London 2008. The event will take place on Tuesday 4th November, the first day of the conference. Search Marketing Expo attendees and internet marketing enthusiasts are welcome to join us for a night of beer, banter, bitching and card swapping (couldn’t think of another ‘b’).

CAP EuroThere’s even better news – our saviour of free beer comes in the form of CAP Euro, a sponsor that runs conferences dedicated to new and existing affiliates of online gaming.

CAP Euro is the biggest event out there for the iGaming affiliate industry and unlike other events it mixes business and pleasure perfectly with unique offerings such as an open bar in the expo room along side a poker tournament that pays out prizes up to $20,000, through to acquiring the best speakers in the sector and running the most lavish networking events ever seen. And if that isn’t enough we do not charge affiliates or webmasters anything to attend any part of our event from the poker to the conference so the only investment you have to make is your time.

Even if you work in-house or at an agency, there’s nothing better than earning some extra income by using your SEO and PPC skills – and there’s no bigger payout than online gaming. So if you want to know how affiliates are making 6 figures a month through their poker sites, why not attend this free and fun conference?

Our glorious venue for the night will be the Freemasons Arms, a Shepherd Neame pub just minutes from the conference centre. Don’t worry, you don’t need to know the special masonic handshake to get in!

As well as the usual Guinness and Lager on tap, some may enjoy experimenting with fantastic British Real Ale, such as Bishops Finger and Spitfire (my personal favourite). We’ve booked the entire pub, so plenty of space to mingle or be anti-social in a corner.

Here are all the details you’ll need in order to attend:

Date:
Tuesday 4th November 2008 from 6:30pm onwards. (no food provided :p)
Venue:
Freemasons Arms, 81-82 Long Acre, Covent Garden, London, WC2E 9NG [Google] [Streetmap].
Nearest Station:
An easy walk from both Holborn (Central and Piccadilly) and Covent Garden (Piccadilly Line)
FaceBook Group:
LondonSEO.org on ArseBook

We look forward to chatting to you over a great British pint!

LondonSEO Summer BBQ Party

by Rob Kerry - Posted on

It’s time for another LondonSEO and not even the ridiculous heat in our beloved capital can stop us! Although most of us geeks prefer to shy away for the sun and direct sunlight, some people bizarrely enjoy being out in the heat and beaming rays. Sacrificing pub nostalgia this August, we’ll be holding LondonSEO in the courtyard of Vibe Bar on Brick Lane. Not only will there be outdoor air conditioning in the cordoned off courtyard, we’ll also have a South African BBQ available to those who get the munchies.

Media CentrixI’m pleased to announce Media Centrix as this month’s sponsor, who have kindly offered to put their card behind the bar for beers. Media Centrix specialise in recruitment for the online marketing industry. If you’re actively looking to move jobs or just interested in what’s out there, please have a chat to one of the people from Media Centrix who will be attending the event. If you’re recruiting, Media Centrix can also help you find the right people.
