Which Affiliate Conference Should You Actually Attend?

A side-by-side comparison of the biggest affiliate marketing and iGaming conferences in the world. We've ranked them by brand, scale and quality of connections — so you can pick the event that's actually worth your time and money.

#1 — Affiliate World The Legend — Affiliate Summit 10+ conferences covered
#1 — Best in the World
Affiliate / Performance

The best and biggest affiliate marketing conferences in the world — period. Four editions a year (Dubai, Budapest, Cancún and Bangkok), and Bangkok is the flagship: widely considered the best affiliate event on the planet. Google, TikTok, Snapchat, Meta, Alibaba and AliExpress are regulars on stage, so attendees make the most connections at the highest quality. And the workshops are killer.

Best for

Serious affiliates, media buyers and e-commerce sellers who want the highest-quality connections, mainstream platform access and killer workshops.

Rank #2
Affiliate / Performance

The oldest affiliate marketing conference in the world. A two-decade institution that helped build the industry — reliable, established and packed with performance-marketing fundamentals.

Best for

Anyone who wants a proven, long-running affiliate education event and broad industry networking.

4Rank #4
iGaming-focused

A massive, well-run iGaming-focused summit circuit (including SiGMA Europe Rome and luxury retreats in Cancún). Great for gambling & blackhat verticals — but iGaming-only, so not for every affiliate. Gambling is almost impossible to scale on mainstream platforms like Google, Meta or TikTok.

Best for

Gambling, casino and other iGaming-adjacent affiliates. Not a fit for mainstream/e-commerce affiliate marketers.

5Rank #5
Affiliate / Performance

Central Asia's biggest affiliate conference (5,000+ attendees in Yerevan). Huge exhibition market and strong regional networking — a standout for Eastern European / CIS traffic and advertising.

Best for

Affiliates and advertisers working with CIS, Eastern European and MENA traffic sources.

6Rank #6
Affiliate / Performance

The networking-first affiliate event famous for turning conferences into unforgettable parties and high-value connections. Smaller, social and deal-driven — beloved by regulars.

Best for

Affiliates who want a relaxed, fun, high-density networking environment over a huge expo floor.
