- 5th and 6th December: AWA 2018
- 7th December: E-commerce Mastery Live (ECML)
Venue of the event was Centara Grand & Bangkok Convention Centre at CentralWorld. This is the most convenient location for such a mega conference. The location is very much easy to reach, residing in the heart of the city.

Its all about growth and how you and everyone grows exponentially. In networking you can also connect with other affiliate marketers. Get to know how they market what products, etc. All these things can be done exclusively at the event for sure.
