Hi Alex,

Just as last year, following that link shows there are NO ROOMS available for either the Thursday or Saturday nights = totally useless!
Is this a mistake?
(I think I recall someone saying it was an error last year)

See you in London! (Even if I have to bring a tent! )

[Engineer]

I think I took the last room on the 7th.... sorry KK. You can get on a waiting list, though -- I am on a waiting list for the night of the 9th. If nobody cancels their room before then, I suppose I will stay in the bar all night until I can re-check in the next day. ;D

 

[bonustreak]

I suppose I will stay in the bar all night until I can re-check in the next day. ;D​

Yippeeee I will join you!!!!

 

[bonustreak]

I just checked on Expedia and they are offering rms from the 6th to 11th so maybe check that site out.. price is a bit more I think tho

 

[Engineer]

This morning, iGB Affiliate Hotels told me that someone cancelled their room on the 9th, so now I have a room for that night. I still might spend half the night in the hotel bar, though. ;D

'Intertops Affiliate Managers look forward to meeting affiliates at the London Affiliate Conference February 7 - 10 and to winding down with affiliates at their traditional Sunday Session. With a reputation for having to catch an early flight and missing their own parties the Intertops team says they will definitely be sticking around for the Sunday wind-down this time.

Intertops was one of the very first online casino, poker and sportsbook sites on the internet. Known for friendly customer service and hassle-free deposits and withdrawals, Intertops has been trusted by players around the world for more than 15 years.'

I will be there with the team to answer any affiliate questions etc... serve you a beer etc this is a great time everyone so please be sure to stop by for at least a beer before you leave.

 

[alexpratt]

Sorry - Didn't get alert on the reply - The hotel is indeed sold out that night but people always cancel leading up to the event or change plans so I highly recommend you email the address at the bottom of the hotel booking site and they will add you to the list. Any problems just let me know
