a4uexpo event round-up and checklist with 3 weeks to go!
Autumn has crept up on us today, which means a4uexpo is now just 3 weeks away!
We have a fantastic speaker line-up this year, a bustling expo floor for you to peruse, 7 networking sessions and parties (yes seven!) - including our star evening where we will set sail along the Thames to Central London - all coupled with free beer, wine and food to help settle the nerves or excitement!
Here is the low-down on this year’s event:
Ignite Party
We kick off our networking with a pre-event party for those in town, and the location will be the Upper Deck Bar @ The Novotel ExCeL - Thanks to the lovely people at AffiliateFuture there will be food and drinks available.
You can also pick up your name badge here if you wish. You’ll avoid the rush in the morning! simply bring along your a4uexpo delegate invoice which will show your registration number - you’ll need to enter this code at our self registration desks. Nick and Darian will be on hand if you have any queries.
Hours :6pm til late
Location: Upper Deck Bar @ Novotel ExCeL
Registration
This year we have a new ’self registration’ system in place. It’s therefore critical that you bring along your business card and your a4uexpo delegate invoice which contains a code between 7 and 9 characters, you’ll need to enter this onto one of the laptops on the ground floor of the platinum suite. You’ll see a mock up of your badge, simply press print and wait for your name to be called, you’ll receive your badge and lanyard. Before reaching for the escalator pick up your delegate brochure and bag which will contain a number of goodies! After that you’re done - head upstairs and grab yourself a much needed coffee.
Hours: Open from 8.00am
Location : Ground floor of Platinum Suite @ ExCeL (central within the boulevard)
Conference
The conference this year has four tracks taking place simultaneously each hour. With the number of tracks on offer you’ll find it hard to choose which to attend.
There are over 40 sessions held over the two days with over 80 speakers taking part this year on integral and peripheral topics.
A full agenda can be found here - day one & day two
Our keynote commences at 9.00am on day one, however please allow for registration as we expect it to be busy. On day two we give you a bit of time to recover from the networking cruise - however we do commence at 9.30 am, we’ll have coffee (and water!) available on level one and two so grab one before you hit the platinum rooms.
Lunch & Lunchtime Sessions
Lunch bags will be available for you to collect on each day, and refreshments throughout. I also hear that many exhibitors will have beer available on their stands! - We’ve billed our extended lunchtimes as networking lunches, which means you can either remain in the exhibition hall, relax in the chill out zone or attend one of the lunchtime sessions whilst nibbling away!
Exhibition
This year we’ve given you a bit of extra free time to explore the exhibition, there will be around 40 companies exhibiting. We recommend that you take advantage of our ‘connect‘ system. This allows you to schedule appointments with our exhibitors, whether sales or account management orientated.

This is a great networking opportunity for all our delegates to partake in. To attend you’ll need to collect an invitation from the buy.at stand - we expect the cruise to be popular therefore arrive early - once we hit our capacity of around 500 people, we’re done! An invitation does not guarantee entry.

Ice Party @ The Fox
After your second day of action packed seminars you can relax at our closing party @ The Fox, - we’ll have some hearty grub, beer and wine flowing for you at the Ice Party, alongside our now infamous Ice Luge. This is a final opportunity for you to close deals, seal friendships and arrange follow up meetings with new contacts. We’ll also be holding a charity auction where you can bid on number of lots donated by companies within the affiliate marketing space.
Hours : 18.00 - late
