The Affiliate's Guide to iGaming Conferences

Affiliates have a unique set of needs at iGaming events: finding new operator partners, negotiating deals, staying current on SEO/PPC changes, and understanding regulatory shifts that impact traffic monetization. Not every event caters to this.

Top Events for Affiliates

iGB Affiliate (Co-located with ICE Barcelona)

The largest dedicated affiliate event. The 2025 edition recorded 9,082 unique visitors, up 24% year-over-year. Co-located with ICE Barcelona, so you get access to the full ICE exhibition floor plus a dedicated affiliate conference track. This is where the biggest operator affiliate programs have their largest presence.

SBC Summit — Affiliate Leaders Summit

SBC's Affiliate Leaders Summit within SBC Summit Lisbon is designed for 5,000 affiliates and operators. Dedicated tracks cover SEO, paid media, content marketing, and compliance. The networking is more focused than at ICE because the audience is pre-filtered.

SiGMA Editions — Startup Village + Affiliate Awards

SiGMA's regional editions all feature affiliate-focused tracks and awards. The Americas edition (São Paulo) is particularly strong for LATAM affiliate traffic — a growth market as Brazil's regulated market matures.

AffPapa Conferences

AffPapa organizes dedicated affiliate-only events (Madrid, Cancun). Smaller (400–1,500 attendees) but 100% affiliate-focused. Speed-dating sessions for operator-affiliate matching are a unique feature.

What to Optimize For

• Operator meetings: Pre-book meetings with affiliate managers before the event. Walking up to a booth and asking for a deal is much less effective.
• Compliance updates: Advertising regulations are changing fast (UK, Italy, Australia). Attend regulatory panels to understand what traffic sources might get restricted.
• Networking events: Affiliate dinners and after-parties are where the best deals happen. Get on invite lists early.
