So here was one of the most exciting part of my Bangkok trip Affiliate World Asia, this was the main event that forced me to come Bangkok. So I reached Bangkok on 22nd November just to have a small vacation and attending some events for my business in Bangkok. Because I see Bangkok as very potential city for internet marketing business.
AWA begins on 7th Dec and it was full of excitement total crowd for the event was around 1500. That was very big and folks there totally enjoyed. They have great sponsors like : Mobvista Ad Network, Jumbleberry,MUNDOmedia Ltd., ClickDealer, Go2mobi, iBallers, Avazu EU / USA, Mpire Network Inc., Fluent Inc., AdCombo, AdPlexity, and Business Events Thailand! Without the sponsors show could not be possible. AWA organized the show wonderfully and they made this show very premium. Ofcourse everything at venue was chargeable we have to pay for food, water everything there.
The venue was Centara Grand Hotel which was one of the best hotels in Bangkok. Hotel is very beautiful and some outside from the hotel is jaw dropping. The scenes are very iconic and I clicked lot of pictures of this beautiful place. You can scroll down later for pics.
I must say AWA team has done great marketing for the event, they use social media very well to promote this event to wider scale. There were attendees from Singapore, Malaysia, US, UK, China, Tokyo, Japan, India & many other countries. I love the way they marketed. They have their own app Affiliate World Conference App which was keeping updates on all schedules for 3 days. I like their app very much. It makes me aware of all speaking sessions I want to attend.

Day 1 Affiliate World Asia:
On day 1 I met lot of affiliate marketers and exhibitors. Day 1 started with Hugh Hancock speaking session. He was vibrant and I really enjoyed his loading speed optimization tips.
Ryan Holiday was superb in his session. He teaches leaves old school of thoughts and just focus on 1 thing.
Then there was 5 figures panel discussion which drops bombs on making 5 figure income a day. That panel discussion was great and lot of great insights were shared.
Then there was open market where affiliates get a chance to meet exhibitors and this was totally insane. It was so crowded and everyone wants to meet exhibitors. Too much rush and crowded. But I met lot of exhibitors and made soem solid connections.
In evening there was cocktail party sponsored by Clickdealer.
Day 2 Affiliate World Asia :
Day 2 starts with Charles Ngo where he shared about quick landing optimization tips and how he uses his traffic sources to make money.
Meeting Charles Ngo in person was dream come true I had a picture with him and it was damn awesome feeling. Charles was very down to earth and he entertained every affiliates marketer in his best possible way.
Then after Charles Ngo session was Gerald Adams session. He is serial entrepreneur and his attitude on stage was killer. I love his way to talking.
Then there were some panel discussions too.

Day 3 was full of workshops and it was specially for newbies who want to learn about affiliate marketing & blogging.
