There is a never-ending sequence of affiliate marketing events, conferences, and lectures. It’s hard not to lose yourself in the sea of international events, where the tickets are high, and the attention span is short. This is why we have decided to create a list of all the upcoming affiliate marketing events that you can look forward to. This list will be updated monthly or bimonthly to make sure we keep the list up-to-date and useful for you.
Please note that this list is designed primarily for B2B clients and events, not the B2C end-affiliates.
While obviously affiliates are also more than welcome across all these events, our focus on “who this is for” and the popularity scope is focused on businesses looking to showcase their product at the end.

Conclusion
If you treat conferences as a pipeline sprint—not a field trip—you’ll get paid for the airfare. Pick two or three shows that map cleanly to your goals (recruit affiliates, close operator deals, scout martech), lock early-bird tiers, and reserve meeting space before you book flights.
Build a 6-week runway: announce your presence, publish a Calendly, pre-qualify intros, and stack 12–18 meetings per rep per day. On site, protect mornings for deal work, walk the floor for intel in the afternoons, and record every conversation straight into your CRM with next steps and owners.
Budget like a CFO: target a clear CAC or cost-per-SQL, cap swag and last-minute spend, and compare “stand vs. meeting suite vs. roaming team” against historical close rates. Post-show, run a 14-day follow-up sprint, then a 30-day revenue review—SQLs created, deals to stage, wins, and lessons for the next event.
Here’s the bottom line: the right two shows can outperform a quarter of paid media. Choose deliberately, over-prepare shamelessly, and make every meeting traceable to revenue.
