One week has already passed from the BAC20111 conference, but the memories are still fresh. Quite a lot of internet casinos made their presence on the conference, showing that the online gambling industry is growing even in these depressing times.

The prize for the best stand must definitely go to Bodog (anybody surprised?) who created a full winter cottage, including the skis and very sexy winter hostesses, in the midst of the air-conditioned Fira hall in the middle of sun-heated Barcelona.

As far as the hostesses are concerned, Casino.com did not trail much behind Bodog, actually all the girls (mostly Spanish by the looks) did their job fantastically well, helping affiliates to rest their eyes from the computer screens and constant battle for attention from internet casino players.

Other notable exhibitors were ever-present Party Gaming, 888, Winner, Go Wild, who have a great experience with such events and showered the affiliates with gifts, attention and nice stands full, showing off their software and marketing capabilities.

There were also some new faces, some of them doing good, some a bit less. The people who drew the most attention were guys from Class 1 Casino, including a full team of FC Barca-dressed guys and girls, including a midget (no resemblance to Messi). Other notables were Mr. Green Poker, who had a tall guy dressed completely in green (figures), and Poker in Venice, who were promoting their Everleaf network with persistent yet polite girls.

All-in-all, the trip to Barcelona was great, there was a lot of meetings to be seen, discussing what the online casino industry will bring us in the upcoming years. Oh yeah, and the parties… let’s not forget the parties!
