Affiliate Summit West

Affiliate Summit West is the larger of the two Affiliate Summit conferences run by Clarion Events, and it takes place in Las Vegas. The 2027 edition is scheduled for 26 to 28 January at Caesars Forum. The organiser cites more than 7,000 attendees, over 300 exhibitors and three days of sessions, and says the 2026 show logged more than 8,218 meetings. These are Affiliate Summit's own figures. The programme is organised into eight tracks: Lead Gen, Ecommerce, Influencer, Brand Strategy, Tracking & Attribution, Content & Commerce, Ads & Media Buying, and a B2B track. Alongside them, the agenda section lists briefings on B2B partnerships, mergers and acquisitions, and pay per call. Most meetings between advertisers, networks and publishers happen at the Meet Market, a floor of exhibitor tables. The exhibitor page schedules it for six hours on 26 January, with an exhibit hall on the other two days, while the registration page describes passes as including a two-day Meet Market. Four pass types are listed. The Networking pass costs $949 at the early price ($1,309 later), VIP costs $1,249 ($1,609) and adds access to Creator Economy Live West, and the Partnership Week package costs $1,549 ($2,209). Early prices run until 20 November 2026. A free Affiliate Pass is available to affiliates who earn commission from their own sites or campaigns; it requires an application, passes are limited, and the deadline is 18 December 2026. The 2027 agenda and speaker line-up were still being finalised when we checked. The speaker list on the official site covers people who spoke at previous Summits, including commerce and affiliate leads from CNN, Forbes Media, Daily Mail and Zenni Optical, so it is not a confirmed programme for this edition. For gambling affiliates the fit is indirect. None of the tracks covers iGaming, and the exhibitor base leans towards ecommerce brands, cashback sites, lead generation buyers and affiliate technology. Publishers with mixed portfolios, affiliate networks and tracking providers are the iGaming-adjacent groups most likely to find partners here, while operators looking for casino or sportsbook traffic are better served by gambling-specific shows.
