• Performance partnerships
   

• Publisher–brand relationships
   

• Retail affiliate insights
   

• Driving new business in 2026

Let’s get into it.

Why networks, agencies & SaaS partners should use 2025 budget now

If you’re in business development, partnerships, account management, or client strategy, year-end budget is often the hardest to use well. Spend it or lose it, but spend it on the wrong thing and you’ll feel it in Q1.

Affilifest 2026 is one of the few investments that converts directly into revenue opportunities.

1. You’re buying next year’s pipeline

The people you want to meet, brand decision makers, actually attend.

For networks, agencies and platforms, that turns into:

• New retailer conversations
   

• Test budgets
   

• Migration opportunities
   

• Multi-market discussions
   

• Cross-channel briefs
   

This is not “branding spend.”
This is pipeline spend.

2. You get guaranteed facetime with retailers

Because Affilifest is free for brands, the attendance quality is consistently high. They’re there with intent.

Across two days you can meet:

• Retail media teams
   

• Affiliate managers
   

• Ecommerce leads
   

• Partnerships owners
   

• Trading teams
   

• Subscription and DTC brands
   

You will not get this concentration of decision-makers anywhere else in the UK affiliate industry.

3. Your competitors are already planning their year

The strongest networks and agencies plan their Q3/Q4 pipeline early.
Those who buy early:

• Stay top of mind with brands
   

• Secure premium meeting slots
   

• Prep outreach properly
   

• Show up with intention, not improvisation
   

Cyber Monday pricing gives you a head start and lowers acquisition cost.

How much you save with the Cyber Monday offer

Affilifest's Cyber Monday allocation gives 25 percent off Margate 2026 tickets -  and once these tickets are gone, they will not return at this price.

For networks and agencies sending teams of 3–8, the savings stack up:

• 3 tickets = meaningful cost reduction on Q3 pipeline activity
   

• 5–8 tickets = several thousand saved and redirected into publisher tests or product demos
   

• 10+ tickets = major year-end budget win
   

You’re not just getting a discount - you’re securing next year’s highest-performing affiliate event at the lowest rate.

Why buying early gives you a competitive edge

• Secure the best meeting slots

Brand diaries fill fast - especially mornings and mid-afternoons.
Buying early lets you lock these in months ahead.

• Build a structured pipeline plan

Teams who win at Affilifest always have a plan.
Booking in advance gives you time to:

• Identify 10–20 target retailers
   

• Prep outreach scripts
   

• Assign owners across your team
   

• Build a two-day meeting schedule
   

• Coordinate follow-up processes with sales and AM teams
   

You arrive in Margate with purpose and structure.

• Align your team early

Agencies and networks bringing multiple people can:

• Map coverage
   

• Define vertical ownership
   

• Align product messaging
   

• Decide where BD vs AM should focus
   

Better planning = higher conversion from conversations.

• New placement ideas
   

• Improved tracking flows
   

• Co-branded campaigns

Which means conversations move faster and further than they do in hotels or exhibition halls.

This is where strong publisher–brand relationships are built.
