AffPapa to host 2026 Madrid conference with 1,500+ attendees expected

AffPapa has announced that its next affiliate-focused conference will take place in Madrid from May 18 to 20, 2026, with organizers expecting more than 1,500 participants. The event will be held at the Novotel Hotel Madrid and is structured around two days of networking centered on affiliate engagement.

According to the company, the attendee composition for the AffPapa Conference Madrid is set at 40% affiliates, 40% operators, and 20% B2B providers. The format underscores what AffPapa describes as its affiliate-led model, under which affiliates are positioned at the center of discussions and networking sessions while operators and B2B providers are given direct access to potential partners.

The Madrid edition follows two previous conferences in Malaga. Organizers cited growing demand as the reason for relocating the event to Spain’s capital while retaining the affiliate-focused structure that defined earlier editions.

Levon Nikoghosyan, Founder & CEO at AffPapa, addressed the expansion in a statement: “Madrid allows us to elevate the conference and deliver even greater value to our community. AffPapa Conference Madrid isn’t only a bigger edition: it’s a smart, affiliate-focused experience that will give our community the tools, insights, and connections they need to grow.”

The conference program will include panel discussions addressing current trends in affiliate marketing and iGaming, along with structured networking formats. Among these is a speed-dating session featuring one-minute rotations designed to connect affiliates with operators. Networking drinks are scheduled after each conference day, and the event will also host the AffPapa iGaming Awards Ceremony, recognizing industry participants.

Exhibition space will feature branded booths, and organizers have introduced a customizable booth option for 2026. Exhibitors may select a standard booth designed by AffPapa or opt to create their own booth design aligned with their brand.

AffPapa states that its conference model is intended to strengthen partnerships between affiliates, operators, and B2B providers within the global iGaming sector. Panels, networking sessions, and speed-dating formats are structured to prioritize affiliates while facilitating direct engagement with other industry stakeholders.

Registration for the Madrid event is currently open.
