Affhub conf 2.0 Lviv: how it was (+Photo report)

The day before, Affhub held a conference in Vynnyky, near Lviv. In a nutshell, more than 1000 participants, dozens of partners and cool speakers, smoky hookahs, and top networking – this is how Affhub conf 2.0 Lviv can be described in one sentence. If this is not enough for you, read our report from one of the largest conferences of the affiliate industry in Ukraine this year.

As usual, we start with the location. Imagine: a lake in the middle of the mountains, just a few kilometers from a large city with a population of millions. A large complex with restaurants, hotels, entertainment and conference centers. And there are wild animals running around, which you can only see in zoos in Kyiv. Can you imagine? This is exactly the place where the long-awaited Affhub conf took place.

The location was divided into two zones. The first one was the official part, the conference hall itself. There were a lot of speeches, discussing almost everything that is currently relevant in the field of affiliate marketing – from the legal component and the ban on online casino advertising in Ukraine to the “death of apps”. Regardless of the vertical, one could definitely hear something interesting here.

“The conference is a buzz, the location is very advantageous. We went primarily because we knew it would be a cool location. There were a lot of people, and that’s cool, because there’s nothing to do at a conf without people. We networked all day, it was very useful, everything was top”, – says Dima, Traff IT.

In between speeches, people could have a snack or talk to partners at the stands. There was also an area outside where you could go to talk in silence.

The second area was the afterparty location. It was located on a kind of peninsula with a lake on one side and a swimming pool on the other. In addition to smoky hookahs, great food and a bar, a charity auction was also held here. A little bit of numbers: there were 7 lots, more than $27,000 was raised, and the money went to the Ukrainian Defense Forces and charities. Special thanks to everyone who participated in the auction. Here are some details about the lots:

• The painting “The Idea of a Nation” – was purchased by Virgin Group for $2000;
• Da Vinci’s Wolves tube – purchased by DID Global for $4000;
• Installation of launching from the Himars missile system – purchased by DID Global for $4500;
• Man-portable air defense system tube – purchased by Virgin Group for $3000;
• A vase tube – purchased by Roman for $2000;
• Painting “Challenges of Time” – bought by KIV Network for $3000;
• EPIPHONE ZAKK WYLDE guitar – purchased by NDA for $9100.

“It was a very cool experience as a speaker, I liked it very much, I think I will speak again. I talked about the development of work with streamers. This topic is rarely discussed. How to work with streamers in general, what are the nuances and what to pay attention to”, – said Affiliate Team Lead Affter Nikita Novikovsky.

Immediately after the auction, LATEXFAUNA set the stage on fire, and the highlight of the evening was the performance of Vopli Vidoplyasova. It’s hard to say how many people lost their voices to the song “Vesna”. However, in addition to the two announced performances, there was also a surprise for the participants – the debut on the big stage in a new role of the well-known Azir Gojatov. Both parts of the event were hosted by a well-known Ukrainian presenter and stand-up Dmytro Serkov.

“The conf was cool. It is a pity that some guys and girls could not come. But in general, it was top. Gathering so many people and stands in Lviv is a wreck, really top. I spoke about FB – it was a classic. All my reports about FB are analytics and numbers. But today we spent an hour analyzing everything”? – said Myroslav Lyaskovets, Leadmarketing Owner.

There will be no conclusions, just know that if you were not at this conference, you have lost a lot. Special thanks to all the partners, without whom the conference would not have turned out to be so top. And, of course, to the participants – you created all that buzz.
