Hi All,

Time to start planning for the next affiliate conference which will once again be taking place on the sunny shores of the Mediterranean in Barcelona. I will use this thread to update everybody but feel free to ask any questions, use to to arrange meetings etc etc.


Barcelona in "Flow Motion"
It is no surprise that Barcelona is consistently voted the number one city to visit in Europe and therefore a natural home for our conference but in case you needed any convincing then you should check out this video by Rob Whitworth which takes you on an incredible tour of the city and what it has to offer!

BAC moves to a new venue
BAC is back in Barcelona on the 23rd - 26th October 2014. Conference organisers, iGB Affiliate, have announced that the conference will be moving to a new venue for 2014, the Barcelona International Convention Centre (CCIB). Find out more here.

Looking for somewhere to stay?
The official hotel for BAC is the Hotel Princess, which is only 4 minutes away from the conference venue. BAC is taking over this impressive hotel which has comfortable guest rooms, modern amenities and outstanding customer service. We have asked for a fully stocked bar, for the hotel to provide extra irons and for there to be extra room service staff to meet all your requests. Rooms are going fast so click here to book at our specially discounted rates.

Check out videos from previous Financial Partners Expos!
The Financial Partners Expo is co-located with the Barcelona Affiliate Conference. It is the largest dedicated exhibition for affiliates, binary options brokers and introducing brokers within the retail finance sector. So that you can get an idea about the kind of content and speakers we will have, we have made a number of interviews with past speakers available for you to view.

Network before BAC has even started!
The new networking app that we launched at AAC was a huge success and will be returning to BAC to ensure that we are giving you the best networking opportunities possible. If you want to network before the event has even started, then make sure that you register for BAC. The app will be launching next week, so once registered you will receive a link to the networking app and your logins.

Book your trip to BAC today and save!
We know that time out of the office to come to an event can be costly. We have put together a number of resources that you can use to make the most of BAC, while saving money at the same time!
