Affiliate Summit East 2027 is the summer counterpart to the giant Las Vegas show, and it brings the performance marketing world to New York on July 26 to 27, 2027. It gathers thousands of advertisers, publishers, ecommerce sellers, affiliates, networks and tech suppliers to build partnerships and launch new deals. This guide covers what to expect from Affiliate Summit East 2027, who attends, what it costs, and how to prepare.
What is Affiliate Summit East
Affiliate Summit East is the East Coast edition of the long running Affiliate Summit series. It is a little smaller and more focused than the West show, which many attendees actually prefer because meetings are easier to lock in. Expect an expo floor, a strong content track and a busy schedule of evening networking.
Affiliate Summit East 2027 dates and venue
The 2027 event runs July 26 to 27 in New York City. Being in Manhattan means great transport links and no shortage of hotels, though prices climb during the show, so book early and consider staying a short subway ride away to save money.
Who attends Affiliate Summit East
The mix leans toward affiliates and publishers, with a strong showing of advertisers and brands hunting for partners, plus networks and media buyers. Because it is the summer show, you also see a lot of ecommerce and retail brands planning for the Q4 peak.
What it costs to attend
New York can be pricey, but a two day show means fewer hotel nights than the West trip. Watch for early bird pricing and free affiliate passes, which take the sting out of the biggest cost. Budget for flights, two nights of hotel, and city food and travel on top of the pass.
How to prepare and get meetings
Open the event app as soon as it launches and book your priority meetings before you arrive. Set one clear goal for the trip and keep your calendar loose enough for hallway chats. Our full checklist lives in the affiliate conference preparation guide.
West or East, which should you pick
If you can only do one, West in January is bigger and more international, while East in July is tighter and easier to work. Many affiliates do both. Compare the wider field in our best affiliate marketing conferences guide and the full US events for 2027.
