Submit Your EventWhat are affiliate conference side events?
Everything you need to know about the social scene around the world's top affiliate conferences.
A side event is any networking, party, dinner, mastermind or social gathering that happens around (rather than inside) a conference's main program. Think welcome drinks, boat trips, rooftop mixers and official afterparties. Side events are often where the most valuable connections happen — away from the expo floor and keynote stage.
The biggest scenes are around Affiliate World (Cancún, Bangkok, Dubai), SiGMA retreats and summits, TES Affiliate Conference in Prague, and PI LIVE Europe in London. Affiliate World Cancún and SiGMA's Cancún retreat are especially famous for their beach parties, catamaran trips and afterparties.
It varies. Many networking mixers and happy hours are free and open to all conference attendees. Others — like boat trips, awards galas and VIP dinners — require an invitation or a ticket. Our directory marks each event 'Free Entry' or 'Ticket Registration' so you know before you go.
Use our directory to browse every listed event for a conference, then shortlist the ones that match your goals — networking, closing deals, or simply having fun. Events are organized by date and location so you can plan your evenings easily.
Absolutely — and it's free. Use the 'Submit a Side Event' form to add your event to the directory. It takes under two minutes, and once reviewed it goes live for thousands of affiliates, advertisers and networks to discover.
