If you work with gambling, here are the key entry points to advertisers:
A detailed breakdown of events and GEOs can be found in the article “iGaming Conferences to Attend in 2025-2026”. Before traveling, it’s worth studying the markets. For that, there are reviews of iGaming markets in different countries.
Tip: it’s convenient to track all events through a calendar with filters by date and country.
The choice depends on your role. Media buyers should look at AWE, PAphoria, TES, and Conversion Conf. The focus there is on traffic, combinations, and private meetups. Advertisers should go to SiGMA, SBC, and ICE, where you can find teams and affiliate networks. For an affiliate network, any major affiliate conferences in Europe with a booth + meetings setup will work. Beginners are better off starting with iGB Affiliate, BAC, or AWE. That’s the easiest entry point into the market.
For more details on participation formats (booth, delegate, sponsorship), read the article “Participation Formats at iGaming and Affiliate Exhibitions”.
Benchmarks for 2026: delegate pass — €200–1,000, booth — from €5,000 to €50,000+, sponsorship — from €15,000, flight within Europe — €100–300, hotel — €100–250 per night.
You can save money in three ways: buy early bird tickets (up to 40% savings), take a delegate pass without VIP access (networking is still available), and rent accommodation as a team via Airbnb (30–50% less compared to hotels).
If you can’t travel, many events offer online access (SiGMA, SBC, AWE). Cost: approximately $100–300. But keep in mind: the main deals and networking still happen offline.
Promo codes for tickets: partner discounts often appear in the 3S.INFO calendar. Keep an eye on the event pages for updates.
