While planning this event, the organizers apparently forgot that another great trade show is taking place at the same time: ad:tech London.

I will be exhibiting with a booth in London, so I’ll have to give the German show a miss. Sorry, maybe next time.

My journey back from ad:tech London was a nightmare. The air traffic control center for London had a complete computer crash and my beloved airline EasyJet decided to simply cancel the flight and offer me a flight back home three days later. I managed to get one of the last hotel rooms and a flight back home from a different airport three hours away. I do have friends in the area that I would have loved to visit. But after two days of ad:tech I just wanted to sleep and go home.

The weekend before I went to Munich and also paid a visit to the Oktoberfest. We shot a lot of embarassing pictures and videos that I’m not going to post here. Thanks again to Thomas and Katja for hosting three beer-loving ex business partners from Berlin. I really liked the atmosphere and I think I’ll make the Oktoberfest a regular event. It’s truly unique and if you drink well but not too much you’ll have a blast there.

Speaking of Munich, next week I’m gonna be there again, but just for a quick visit at one of the airport bars. I’ll be around at Affiliate NetworkxX, a regular networking evening for German-speaking affiliate marketers. If you happen to recognize me feel free to speak up and have a chat over a beer or two. Hope to meet you soon.

Finally there is going to be a4uexpo, the UK’s largest affiliate marketing conference. London, again. This time I’m flying Lufthansa though. As one of over 80 speakers I’ll be sharing some of my knowledge about affiliate marketing on the mobile internet. The session will be open to full-conference-pass holders only but I’d be happy to meet you around the exhibit all before or after the session.
