We've been to dozens of conferences. London, Cyprus, Madrid, Lisbon, Rome.

And our answer is clear: must-have. But only if you approach it the right way.

Why conferences work in our industry:
Affiliate marketing is a business built on trust and relationships. The terms you can land after 20 minutes of face-to-face conversation are sometimes impossible to get through three months of messaging back and forth.

We've personally closed partnerships at conferences that went on to bring in millions in turnover. Simply because we met, talked, and realized we could work together.

What's actually worth doing at a conference:
– Prepare ahead of time. Find out who's going to be there. Pick 10-15 people you want to meet. Reach out before the event.
– Don't sit through every panel. Networking in the hallways is often worth more than what's happening on stage.
– Follow up. Most contacts die simply because no one reached out the next day. Be the one who does.

Where to find us this year:
– Lisbon – September 29 - October 1
– Rome – November 2-5

If you'll be at any of these, reach out ahead of time. Let's meet and talk without the rush.

Which industry conference do you find most valuable?
