Affiliate marketing is complex and continues to change as technology and digital mediums evolve. This year AffiliateFEST will look at how the convergence of influencer marketing is chaining the status of the affiliate channel.

Taking place on Wednesday 19th September in London’s Hilton Olympia hotel, AffiliateFEST is the one conference that should be diarised as it’s the only event to focus on digital learning and skills development for affiliate entrepreneurs.

As an established iGaming event and now in its fourth year, Affiliate Insider’s event attracts operators, suppliers and networks, to come together and meet with affiliates who are pioneering this space. It’s an opportunity to connect with affiliates who are serious about growing their business and who want to build relationships that grow operator revenue.

This event covers everything from sports to bingo, so no matter what your iGaming speciality is, AffiliateFEST has a topic of interest for most. Those attending the event will also learn more about the important regulations and advertising changes that have come into force in the past year and what best practice and compliance you should be following moving forward.

What sets AffiliateFEST Apart?

While there are many iGaming events to attend over the course of the year, none will offer you the depth of content that AffiliateFEST speakers will provide. The event prides itself on offering an intimate setting in which attendees can sit around a table, network and ask detailed questions pertaining to their own businesses.
