About this event
The Financial Affiliate Marketing Forum (FAMF) took place on 6 October 2026 at The Quay, 100 Queens Quay East, in Toronto. It is not a gambling event: FAMF is a one-day conference on affiliate and partner marketing for the financial sector, presented as its second annual edition. It is run by CardCon Productions, founded by Jason Steele, in partnership with Fintel Connect. The audience was affiliates, publishers and creators, marketers from banks, fintechs and lenders, agencies and media.
The day ran from 08:30 to 18:00. After a welcome coffee, a keynote looked at what is changing in financial growth marketing, including AI discovery and measurement beyond last-click. Four sessions followed: future-proofing partner strategy for AI visibility, proving the value of affiliates beyond CPA, a debate on paying large affiliate partners versus building a cheaper diversified mix, and lessons from real campaigns. A fireside chat and a happy hour closed the programme.
A ticket cost CAD 400. No attendance figures or next-edition date had been published.
