Top 20 Affiliate Marketing Events of 2026

2026 is shaping up as a year where presence matters. 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. That’s why we’re focusing on the affiliate marketing events in 2026 where our participation has a clear purpose. So please, welcome: IREV reviews the hottest events of 2026
