A Milestone To Befall Online Gaming In Cyprus This Month

The online gaming industry will pass a milestone this month as it spends its Spring Break in Cyprus, and Income Access, one of the industry's leading affiliate networks and providers of affiliate management software, will be there to see it. From May 19th - 24th, the tiny island nation will bring together the two sides of the industry by hosting back to back events, CAP Spring Break and the first ever Poker Conference.

"These back to back events are an unprecedented opportunity for the industry to build relationships," said Nicky Senyard, CEO of Income Access. "The Poker Conference is long overdue, and will give affiliates and operators a chance to finally give their niche the attention it deserves."

Previously held in Miami and the Bahamas, this year's CAP Spring Break location is believed to represent a milestone for the industry. "I think that having CAP Spring Break in Cyprus says something about how quickly the European market has grown," said Sara Wolde Gabriel, the Director of Affiliate Marketing at Income Access. "There's been just such considerable growth over the last few years that European operators have really earned the right to be at these events."

Organized by PokerAffiliatePrograms, Poker Conference 2008 will run May 19th-21st and be the first of its kind. "All the mainstream media coverage over the last 2-3 years has just stimulated so much growth in this niche, that it really deserves its own event," said Nicky Senyard.

Poker Conference 2008 is free for all PAP and CAP verified members, and will feature two separate tracks. While Track One will focus on the needs of Poker Affiliate Managers and Operators, Track Two will be geared toward educating Affiliates and Webmasters.

Then, from May 21st-24th, CAP Spring Break will follow. In its 6th year, this event is sponsored by leading online gaming properties, and aims to educate and influence, as well as grow affiliate relationships through friendly networking.

Scheduled to attend both events, Income Access Director of Affiliate Marketing, Sara Wolde Gabriel will be meeting with affiliates and operators alike. Those interested in scheduling some time with her should contact info@incomeaccess.com.
