This guide covers every major affiliate marketing event of 2026 – with dates, locations, audience size, ticket prices, and a clear breakdown of who should attend. Use the table below to scan the full calendar, or jump to a specific month or region using the navigation links.
2026 is shaping up as a year where presence matters. Major affiliate marketing events create opportunities for partnerships, deal-making, and industry insight that cannot be replicated through online channels alone. We’re talking about actual presence, being there right in the thick of it: showing up in the right rooms, having the right conversations with the right people, and staying close to how the industry is evolving across regions and verticals. Especially, when we’re in the second half of what is arguably the most influential decade of the 21st century.
At IREV, conferences remain an important part of that work. They give context to numbers, depth to partnerships, and perspective that rarely comes from dashboards alone. These industry networking events help brands and affiliates understand market shifts, meet technology partners, and explore new collaboration models. That’s why we’re focusing on the affiliate marketing events in 2026 where our participation has a clear purpose.
