Conference
Affiliate World Dubai 2027
Affiliate World Dubai returns in spring 2027: a performance marketing conference for affiliates, media buyers, networks and advertisers; dates and venue to be confirmed by the organiser.

About this event
Affiliate World Dubai is the Gulf edition of the Affiliate World conference series, run by Affiliate World Conferences. The edition planned for 4 and 5 March 2026 was postponed, and the organiser has said only that the show returns in spring 2027, with confirmed dates to follow. As of November 2026 no days have been published, so the window shown here is provisional. The official page still carries the 2026 content and lists Dubai World Trade Centre as its venue; the organiser has not confirmed where the 2027 edition takes place. Trade press reports that tickets bought for 2026 carry over to the new dates.
The organiser's figures, taken from its 2025 recap, put the show at more than 7,000 attendees from 110+ countries, with 35+ speakers, 160+ advertisers, 60+ traffic sources and 180+ affiliate networks. The crowd is independent affiliates, media buyers and website operators, plus staff of networks, advertisers, traffic sources, service providers and agencies. The organiser calls it a performance marketing conference rather than a gambling show.
The 2026 edition was planned as a two-day show: talks on two stages adding up to over 20 hours of content, next to an exhibition marketplace with 300+ advertisers, traffic sources and networks. Sessions were grouped into niche tracks (Meta Ads, Google Ads, TikTok Ads, Native Ads, Ecommerce Ads, AI and Influencer Marketing), with hour-long mixers by niche each day. The 2027 programme has not been announced; the speakers and session titles still on the official site belong to the postponed 2026 line-up.
Ticketing, as described for 2026, had two types: an affiliate pass for people who run their own offers, media buying or websites, and a company pass for staff of networks, advertisers, traffic sources, providers and agencies. Both covered the exhibition, the stage programme, the mixers, the official parties and a first-timers' meetup. Pricing for 2027 has not been published; the prices on the official page are the 2026 figures and the sale has not opened.
For media buyers running Meta, Google, TikTok or native traffic, the fit is direct: the tracks and exhibitors are built around paid acquisition and ecommerce offers. For iGaming affiliates the relevance is indirect, since gambling is not a named track, although gambling advertisers and networks do exhibit at Affiliate World shows.
