Below you will find the full schedule in one attractive table, with every event name linked to its registration page, plus tips on choosing the right shows for you.

Why affiliate marketing events are worth attending

Relationships still drive most of the real money in this industry. A single face to face chat can win you a higher payout, an exclusive offer, or a direct line to an affiliate manager who actually replies. Events compress months of cold outreach into a few focused days. They are also where new networks launch, where tracking and payment providers show what is next, and where you hear the honest feedback that never appears in public case studies.

There is a timing benefit too. Being in the room when operators and networks talk openly gives you an early read on where spend is heading.

That edge lets you shift budget before the crowd catches on, which matters in fast moving verticals.

Full affiliate marketing events 2027 calendar

Here is the complete list, sorted by date. Each event name links straight to its registration or interest page, so you can book in a click. Dates, organizers, locations, format and focus are included so you can scan for your verticals and regions.

How to choose the right events for you

You cannot attend all 33 events, so start with your vertical. If iGaming is your world, the SiGMA, SBC, iGB and NEXT shows are the core circuit. For general performance and lead generation, Affiliate Summit West and East, Lead Generation World and LeadsCon deliver the widest advertiser mix.

Next, weigh travel cost against likely return. A regional show close to home can deliver most of the value of a far flung flagship for a fraction of the spend. Then look at the attendee mix, since the best events publish it, so you can confirm the networks and advertisers you want are actually going to be there.

Tips to get the most from each event

Book your meetings before you arrive. The affiliates who win at these shows fill their calendar days in advance rather than hoping to bump into the right people. Bring a clear one line pitch about what you promote and what you need, so managers remember you.

Prioritise the side events and dinners, since the quiet conversations often produce better deals than the main floor. Follow up within 48 hours while you are fresh in memory, and set one concrete goal per event, whether that is three new offers or one signed deal, so you can measure whether the trip paid off.
