Which city would you like to be the next AAC conference in?

**Steph** · 12 July 2016, 12:13 am

I would prefer to get the conference in Barcelona back - it is such a beautiful city!

**Marit VS** · 12 July 2016, 3:53 am

I have to say, I know Russian gambling laws (and general laws) are a little restricted but... I would totally make the extra effort to go visit a historic city like St Petersburg.

Otherwise, may I suggest... Greece? Beautiful weather, everything cheap? And you can say that a city like Athens doesn't have the space surely... bring back some of that Barcelona (BAC) vibes!

Somewhere warm, it would be nice to go the beach between meetings

I like the idea of the Southern Hemisphere but I think it would drive down overall attendance

There is iGaming North America there I believe.

The conferences used to be in Vegas and Miami but they stopped doing them in the US because of the laws there. People were scared to get arrested etc.

I'd love to go to St Petersburg too.

And Greece would be awesome.

I'm over Barcelona tbh. I suppose for you guys who are closer it makes sense, but after flying over 24 hours to get somewhere I'd like to go somewhere new every few years. Not that there's anything wrong with Barcelona. I just wouldn't mind sun somewhere else (Malta? Hint hint Alex)

Beach in between meetings would be amazing.

I'll just put my vote in here again for Malta in case noone saw it the last few times

**Miles_FTA** · 13 July 2016, 3:30 am

Ye I recon Malta is a good bet im sure the conference would Buzz with so many industry people based there ..

**ElaineGardiner** · 13 July 2016, 3:42 am

I don't they'd do Malta because Sigma is already here. (unless they partner up and that would be awesome)

**gaming** · 13 July 2016, 3:57 am

I think that Prague is the perfect destination

Ha - yes that wouldn't make for a nice vacation.

It is a nice city, yes. It also puts a bit more things to the east. London, Amsterdam and Berlin, it's a bit too much west and a bit too much over-rated capitals.

Sorry, but i forget about this. This is true, and you are right. Hundreds people from gambling industry, this may grab authority attention.... I think i give bad idea.

Since it's the igaming supershow, I'm hoping that idea gets across and they somehow work to combine the two. Even one after the other would be good if they can't combine them.

September G2E, I was in Vegas last year when this was on!

I didn't find time to go inside the conference, as I was busy sampling Vegas for my first time.

Its mainly its B2B and aimed at markets other than the US so I am not sure how useful it would be be to me anyway. Apparently its huge, Microgaming, Novomatic etc all have massive booths and I imagine it would be cool to go try out their latest slots.

There are a lot of industry folk that visit each year (I will probably go again), so if you're ever in Vegas at that time of year then I am sure you can hook up with the group. Even if you don't do much business its always nice to meet people in the same line of work as you.

Usually Alex makes a post on here giving away free entry to the conference and asks who is going.

Totally agree!

It could be somewhere near the sea, in May should already be quite warm..

Maybe in Bulgaria? Black sea. Online gambling is legal.

**casinodriver** · 25 July 2016, 4:52 pm

And quite a bit of venues for parties in Bulgaria

What about venues to hold a conference?

**OndraK** · 5 August 2016, 3:51 am

Lisbon or Madrid sound good

**MMM** · 5 August 2016, 4:19 am

Ye! Lisbon does sound cool.
