I recently made a visit to the AW World Conference, which happened in the most happening and buzzing town in Europe, Barcelona, I chose to attend this after hearing stories about it from my networks. I must say that this conference is worth experiencing.
Join me while I share all the insights and highlights of the AW Conference in Europe, where the best speakers, industry leaders, and enthusiasts came to experience the atmosphere.

My journey at the AW Conference Europe
So this was a two-day conference, and I’ll share my experience in segments. To begin with, the place was mind-blowing; having people in mass with great ideologies and knowledge was just like the icing on the cake. The feeling of being here was spellbinding; no wonder I chose to record this exposure for my next podcast.
The idea of creating a podcast kicked off my social skills, and that’s when I met a lot of geniuses. You might find some of my conversations with them in this blog! If you’re planning to fix your slots for this event, don’t forget to read the blog till the end.
On my way to Plaça d’Espanya
So, Plaça d’Espanya was the venue for the event. This place’s enchanting walls and architecture were enough to boost all the excitement in me.
At the Entry: The entry to this place for the conference needed an event pass, which, as instructed, had to be collected from the hall. There were multiple desks set up to issue the colorful passes, which I assume were designed based on the theme of the event. Multiple desks also had some guide brochures with a list of exhibitors and exhibition maps to help us navigate the respective events.
I felt the best way to save time and explore the conference was by picking the events in the brochure that I wanted to attend. This helped me sort out my schedule and connected me with like-minded people at the right time.
I had a meeting with huge CPA brand CrakRevenue director Oli, and I took his interview where he revealed the ultimate guide on making $100k monthly with CrakRevenue.
The Set-up
So, the events began as scheduled. I can say all the sessions by the main speakers or the special guests happened on the main stage. The second stage was where the panelists discussed their opinions and shared their wisdom on the pre-defined topics.
I attended both of these events, and I must say, they were super insightful and entertaining. I think these events are apt for any individual or team looking forward to learning and implementing new strategies in their business or career. It emphasized building your brand in the mid stages, how affiliates can bring change, and more.
This was another moment where I got to exchange words with Alex Micol , he is a 25-year-old self-made millionaire who generates more than $30 million in annual revenue.
Walking through the brand booths
Now that I was done with attending the main on-stage sessions from my desired guest speakers, I decided to walk around the brand stalls that were set up right outside the stage event hall. All these booths had smart entrepreneurs and teams displaying their products and services from the fields of digital marketing, affiliate marketing, and advertising.
Passing through these stalls was indeed a great blend of enhancing my wisdom with smarts, as I met a lot of popular brand owners and built connections with them. The best part of these events is that you get to meet a lot of people, build relationships, and join hands with or collaborate with them in person rather than spending time on the internet to engage with them.
Here’s when I came across this amazing brand Mention about meeting two founders of the company who explained his journey
Relaxation Spot & Eatry
It had been quite some time since I attended sessions and met people around the place. I was looking for a place where I could relax and have an appetizing meal. That’s when I stopped at the cafe area. This spot had some decent cafes/stalls, and chairs were all over for the participants to sit and relax. The place was well-maintained and had some decent food to choose from. However, nothing here was free, apart from coffee and water.
Apart from the eatery, they also had a beer garden where people could sit, have some quick catch-ups with some chilled beer, and enjoy the event.
Mention about meeting some friends from India
Gaming Zone
The venue also arranged a gaming zone, where I accidentally landed while taking a walk from one section to another. While the entire conference was an amazing experience, this place stole my heart. I wasn’t really expecting the event organizers to come up with these cool game setups, from foosball to table tennis to virtual golf and more virtual games.
Of course, I couldn’t resist and ended up spending some time playing table tennis and virtual games with people I’d never met before. This was certainly a fun way to engage with strangers and build networks.
The Networking Zone
After relaxing for a while and having some fun chatting with my folks, I headed to this amazing spot called the networking zone. Here’s where all the participants had space to socialize, attend their meetings, or charge their electronic devices at the charging ports.
Key highlights
- Healthy networking
- Splendid scope and opportunities for building collaborations and signing deals
- The gaming zone
- Elite exposure to the latest trends in the world of digital landscape
Scope of improvement
- Complimentary food could’ve enhanced the overall experience.
