FraudScore BDO Zarina Shirinkina recently went to the Affiliate World Asia Conference and shared her thoughts about the event and told Victoria Petrova why Bangkok is such a miracle.
Q: Why is Bangkok such a miracle for you?
I have an incredible love for Thailand and Bangkok itself. You will never get bored here and always find many opportunities for activities. It’s exactly what they call “Shocking Asia”.
Coming to Bangkok, you seem to be on another planet. It’s a city of contrasts. It’s hard to describe it - you’d better see it yourself, definitely try the insanely delicious food and go shopping.
Bangkok took my heart and left so many emotions and memories that I couldn’t forget.
Q: How did your visit to the Affiliate World Asia Conference start?
I arrived in Bangkok in the morning, tired and totally exhausted after a 9-hour flight. I barely could sleep and didn’t have breakfast.
But nothing could break my will, so I went straight to the Affiliate World Asia Conference.
You know, when you pay around $1200 for the ticket, you have certain expectations. Not everything was ideal, but the organization of the conference was well planned.
Personally, I did not notice any problems with “where to go” and “how to get there”. Everything was clear and just enough.
Q: What about the conference content?
I need to admit the content of the conference was perfect, and some reports were really great.
Q: And what about networking and parties?
When it comes to the parties, everyone knows - it’s a perfect place to make some great business connections. Everybody is relaxed and doesn’t feel the pressure, so you can easily make new friends.
A traditional party for participants is an integral part of the Affiliate World Conference. This is where the most pleasant acquaintances happen and productive, long-term cooperation often begins.
The warm friendly atmosphere, a buffet table and incredible views of the night city - everything helps to continue communication with colleagues, share impressions and discuss the main topics of the conference.
Q: Can we already talk about the results of the event?
Despite the fact that the AWAsia conference was the most productive event in the last three months, it’s still too early to talk about the results. As you know, B2B sales take time.
It was my last conference in 2017. But 2018 is a new beginning. So let’s keep in touch, follow us on Facebook and Linkedin!
