We are a few months away from AW Summit, one of Europe’s largest and longest-running affiliate conferences. From September 21 to 23, the Face Convention Center will gather marketers, payment solution providers, and affiliates across several verticals, including Nutra, eCommerce, Crypto, Adult, iGaming, and more.
This will be the 13th AW Summit in Romania’s capital, a country with a growing role in the affiliate industry, particularly in iGaming. Over the three days in September, the Summit will host a variety of multi-hub workshops, panels, networking events, and the best-in-class expo. Tickets for the event are available online, ranging from €249 for regular access to €549 for executive passes.
We are a few months away from AW Summit, one of Europe’s largest and longest-running affiliate conferences.
More than 3,000 affiliate professionals, webmasters, content creators, models, and company representatives are expected at the Summit. Affiliate professionals will get a chance to meet their affiliate managers and discover converting offers in person, while companies can connect with content creators and models to explore new ways to grow their business.
The official program stretches across three days of networking, beginning with the executive dinner and continuing with the Meet Market the next day.
- Expo is the bread and butter of this year’s conference, with a wide range of booths spread across the Expo Center during two days of the event. The expo is open to the public on September 23.
- At the same time, this year’s Donut Stand is courtesy of NextGen Payments, whose Founder & CEO, Roberto Saporito, is one of the marquee speakers on AW Summit’s Payments Panel.
- The Nutra and iCommerce panels will feature Andrei Covaci, Nick Cuttonaro, and Andra Ionescu discussing growth strategies in the industries. The speakers’ main talking point will center on data-driven decision-making and the many ways it informs (and evolves) consumer behavior.
- The iGaming panel gathers leading affiliates and marketers to discuss the latest best practices for succeeding in this highly profitable yet volatile industry. Among other things, they’ll share valuable tips on the subtle art of player retention in 2026.
- One of the main highlights is the Top Affiliates panel, where affiliates generating seven-figure revenues will share their thoughts on industry approaches such as campaign optimization and traffic diversification.
The Payments Panel discussing the latest solutions and challenges in online transactions, and the AI Panel discussing the trends and challenges of artificial intelligence are also among the highlights. Both will take place side by side on the second day of the Summit. Finally, the Summit rounds off with a closing party that brings attendees together for one final celebration.
AW Summit Ibiza
In the meantime, there is another AW Summit conference from June 15 to 17, this time in Ibiza. It is envisioned as a business retreat for decision-makers and C-level professionals to share experiences through genuine conversation rather than a conference setting.
The featured speakers include Marketing Growth Partner at Global Performance, Yulia Petruk; President of MojoHost, Brad Mitchell; NextGen Payments Founder & CEO, Roberto Saporito; and Founder of Affpal.net, Stefan Muehlbauer.
