SUMMARY:Ska-P
DESCRIPTION: [Full details at http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/1425640/ ] Zoals het bij een goed potje dampende ska betaamt wordt dit door Ska-P met een stevige politieke boodschap verpakt.
      Hoewel anti-politiek een betere omschrijving is\, want als rasechte anarchisten moet alles wat maar riekt naar machtsongelijkheid\, hegemonie\, kapitalisme of onderdrukking het keihard ontgelden. De maatschappij hardhandig wakker schudden heet dat en dat mag wel wat vaker gebeuren. Zeker als er tegelijkertijd flink op geskankt kan worden\, want Ska-P is na het uit elkaar gaan in 2004 met het dit jaar verschenen ‘Lágrimas y Gozos’ weer helemaal terug!

      This is a fast-paced event on European marketing and advertising for gaming industry executives. Having a "take the ball and run with it" approach\, little to no time will be spent on introductions\, summaries and overviews. The two day event will consist of morning seminars and lectures\, followed by afternoon workshops. The workshops will consist of a series of 90 minute intensive lectures that are designed to increase customer base. (In the case of online\, it is to increrase traffic and conversion rates). Casino Executives\, advertising / marketing executives\, affiliates and internet casino/sportsbook executives all stand to learn a great deal in these workshops and are welcome to interject their questions at anytime. Significant time will exist for networking as well. 
      If you are a new affiliate to the business\, I strongly advise you to make a request to be sponsored. About 90% of the affiliates that attend Casino Affiliate Convention are sponsored by affiliate programs looking to meet new affiliates such as yourself. One perk is that the affiliate program covers your registration fee. You need to meet with the affiliate manager at the event prior to the doors opening. 
      Exhibitors will also be present and casino executives are urged to meet the vairous marketing and advertising firms in person to build relationships. I trust that you will find this event exciting\, fun and a great learning experience. I hope to see you there!

SUMMARY:Picnic '09
DESCRIPTION: [Full details at http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/309701/ ] This will be the fourth Picnic at the same location in Amsterdam\, The Netherlands. So far\, I personally thought the event in 2007 was the best\, with the 2008 event being more commercial than the grass-roots feeling of previous years....more marketing people than before. 
      Check out the parallel partner events (Specials)\, some of which are as interesting as the main congress. Videos of the 2007/8 festivals are now up on the Picnic website if you want to get a feel for it. The only clouds on the horizon are their constant drive for growth and the fact that very little is free anymore. Even the specials are now 113 Euro for the day - OK for businesses\, not for students. I personally hope it doesn't try to become a film festival\, but keeps its focus on emerging media.
