AffPapa Conference Cancun 2026 will bring together approximately 600 iGaming industry professionals at Cancun Center from November 23 to 25, with Mexican gambling operator Caliente returning as headline sponsor for the second consecutive year.
The event, described by organizers as Mexico’s first affiliate-focused iGaming conference, will allocate 40% of its attendance to affiliates, another 40% to operators and the remaining 20% to business-to-business (B2B) providers.
The conference will also host the second edition of the AffPapa iGaming Awards LATAM, with an official ceremony scheduled for November 25. The awards will recognize affiliates, operators and B2B providers contributing to innovation across Latin America’s iGaming industry.
AffPapa CEO and Founder Levon Nikoghosyan said the conference was established to address the absence of an industry event specifically focused on Mexico’s affiliate community.
“Caliente backed this conference when it was a new event in a new market for us, so having them return as headline sponsor in year two means a lot to the whole team,” Nikoghosyan explained.
“Mexico has a large affiliate community, but before last year it had no conference built around it. That was the gap we wanted to fill. With the country’s biggest operator standing behind the event again, affiliates and B2B providers have a clear reason to be in Cancun this November.”
The conference program will combine panel discussions with structured networking sessions intended to facilitate business meetings and connections among participants from regional markets. Aloft Cancun will serve as the official hotel, with direct access to the Cancun Center venue.
Caliente, described as Mexico’s oldest and largest gambling brand, said its renewed sponsorship reflects its continued involvement in the region’s iGaming industry.
AffPapa also operates an iGaming directory connecting affiliates and operators through industry information, partnership services and networking resources. Its network currently includes more than 2,500 affiliates and over 300 operators, with services focused on facilitating commercial partnerships and increasing market visibility.
