Affiliate Leaders Summit is where operator acquisition teams come to build high-performing partner pipelines and unlock scalable growth. Dedicated to affiliate and performance marketing, the event brings together the people, platforms and strategies that drive measurable acquisition across regulated and emerging markets. Over three days in Lisbon, you’ll meet a concentrated network of affiliates, media groups, creators, networks and performance partners actively looking to work with operators. It’s a high-intent environment designed for dealmaking, allowing you to source new traffic partners, negotiate commercial terms and strengthen relationships with existing affiliates in one place. The Summit’s global audience supports efficient multi-geo expansion. Connect with affiliates specialising in mature markets, fast-growing regions and emerging channels, helping you diversify acquisition and reduce over-reliance on single geographies or traffic sources. Alongside partners, you’ll also discover the technology powering modern performance teams; from tracking and attribution tools to CRM, AI optimisation, compliance solutions and creative performance platforms. On the conference stages, the focus is practical. Expect sessions centred on affiliate programme performance, partner quality, data and attribution, creator-led acquisition, and how to build sustainable growth in an increasingly regulated environment. In 2026, the Affiliate Leaders Academy adds a more hands-on layer, delivering skills-based learning across key disciplines that operator teams can apply immediately. Beyond content and meetings, the experience is built to keep momentum high. From seamless on-site hospitality to SBC Connect meeting tools and access to headline moments at MEO Arena, every element helps operators turn time onsite into measurable pipeline and long-term partnerships.
