Isle of Man --- November 21, 2008...... The global economic crisis which affects markets from New York, London, Paris and Tel Aviv to Los Angles, Montreal, India and China initially impacts on the Hi-Tech industry.

As many Internet startup companies are cash hungry and the feasibility of raising additional funds from venture capitalists and investors remains unclear and large companies are selling products that are aimed at the next generation, many employees are steadily losing their jobs.

Vendors and retailers have experienced in the last few years an explosive growth of revenue generated over the Internet through e-commerce and Internet marketing. As part of their media mix and marketing strategy, Internet advertising affiliate programs have been introduced. These programs are aimed at marketing and technology experts called Affiliates, who in addition to Internet marketing SEO professionals, can drive significant Web traffic to the vendor's site.

For the first time ever an international affiliation event is going to be held in Israel.
Affilicon was created to become a central meeting place between the affiliate programs and the affiliates. Over 400 affiliates (mostly from Israel) and 200 vendors are attending two days of presentations, networking and entertainment.

It is projected that some of the hi-tech employees who have recently lost their jobs will end up setting up home operations and repositioning their marketing and technology expertise towards the Internet marketing affiliation world. Some of the best Internet advertising affiliates have arrived from Montreal, Chicago, Rome, Tokyo, Beijing, Glasgow, Moscow, Rome and several other cities throughout the world to attend this important hi-tech marketing event.

"We are very pleased and even surprised to see the level of participation at the first international conference in the affiliation space," said Itay Paz, the conference organizer. "Our goal is to position Israel as a cost-effective and a highly successful worldwide center for Internet advertising affiliate programs and affiliates. We see no reason why this Israel Internet conference will not be ranked among the leading and most respected international marketing, advertising, SEO and PR Internet conferences."

Affilicon has been advertised extensively throughout the Internet by pushing potent viral marketing with a Facebook group created for the event.
