Below is a press-release slash Letterman Top 10 list from the good peoples at Adsimilis. Holler at them for great international offers focused on dating and games, among other things (like the sexiest staff in the Affiliate Marketing game :: winks at Sean ;) :: But more importantly, read about the meetup!:
Adsimilis will be hosting Europe’s first Meetup August 6th! We felt it was time to bring the affiliate meetup to Europe, and what a better spot than infamous Amsterdam? You know it’s been on your “To Do” list so why not stop putting it off and take advantage of networking in one of the world’s biggest party cities with like minds and then writing it off as a work expense?
Top 10 Excuses to Throw a MeetUp in Amsterdam:
- 10. Float that boat. Amsterdam is famous for it’s canals, and the particular weekend of the meetup coincides with one of Amsterdam’s biggest boat parade parties! Since we’re never one to sit out on the fun, we’ve reserved our own boat to join the party and cruise the city in style.
- 9. You snooze you lose. Time’s running out to “space out” at one of Amsterdam’s coffee shops, which will be closing to tourists in 2012. Go on, Google it if you don’t believe me.
- 8. Brew Ha Ha. Beer lovers, listen up…with over 1,200 diverse and vibrant pubs, Amsterdam is one of the unofficial beer havens of Europe. When you’re not pub’in it (get it?) you can tour the Heineken brewery. Shoot whisky like a real man? Try De Stil, Spuistraat 326, which stocks 150 different single malt whiskies. Stay thirsty my friends.
- 7. Window Shopping. Come see the infamous Red Light district. The “merchandise” can be interesting, but checking out all the skeevo’s taking pictures are also worth the visit. I’m looking at you Barman. (Editor’s note: I don’t pay for sex!)
- 6. Unleash your inner nerd. Before there were computer geeks, there were history and museum nerds. Release your inner nerd out by perusing the many museums Amsterdam has to offer from the Anne Frank Museum to Van Gogh museum. Savvy up and soak in a little culture by the famous Rembrandt and Vermeer, checking out the set of Oceans 12 or catching a world famous DJ set.
- 5. Party Hardy. The parade festival is all week long and culminating on Saturday August 6th with the 2nd biggest street party of the year. Some of the best DJs in the world are flying out for the event, and the city is jammed packed with festivities. And let’s be honest, the city doesn’t even need an excuse to throw a good party.
- 4. Get your Carmen San Diego on. Amsterdam is perfectly situated for you to jump off to Paris, London, Brussels (all of which are a short train ride away via high speed train/chunnel), or on to Italy, Spain, Germany or a multitude of European destinations to work on your “international relations.”
- 3. Sleep’s overrated. Being so far north, the sun doesn’t start to go down until 10pm and the Dutch take advantage of their long summer days and bring the party into the night, and Amsterdam has no shortage of nightlife or bars!
- 2. You know how you always tweet about your Gucci, Louis, Fendi and Insert Logos here that end in “ee”, but actually never leave the confines of your home office (read: ‘rents basement) and dress semi homeless? Now’s your time to actually get some sunshine, show off that swag and pick up some new European goodies.
- 1. Dutch chicks dig interweb nerds. Well, perhaps the verdict for that is still out, but you don’t know until you go!
