Affiliate Grand Slam Rome is bringing the global affiliate and performance marketing community to Fiera Roma from 02 to 05 November 2026. Presented by TrafficStars, the summit is expected to welcome 5,000+ delegates, 270+ exhibitors and 50+ speakers across more than 10 verticals.
Attending an international summit takes more than adding a date to the calendar. There are flights and hotels to book, time away from the office to account for and, ultimately, one question to answer: will the trip be worth it?
From meeting potential partners and finding new traffic sources to exploring markets outside your usual niche, here are 10 reasons to attend Affiliate Grand Slam Rome this November.
AGS is expected to bring together more than 5,000 delegates from across the affiliate and performance marketing ecosystem, including verified affiliates, media buyers, advertisers, networks, and solution providers.
That concentration matters. Instead of arranging separate meetings across different markets and events, delegates can use one summit to reconnect with existing partners, make new introductions and identify businesses that could support their next stage of growth.
AGS is built around the commercial side of performance marketing: traffic, customer acquisition, partnerships, and growth.
That means conversations are less about simply exchanging business cards and more about finding offers, partners, technology, and services that can lead to something after the summit. Delegates seeking additional networking opportunities can also upgrade their tickets to access more meetings and experiences beyond the expo floor.
With more than 270 exhibitors expected in the dedicated AGS pavilion, delegates can explore a wide range of advertisers, affiliate and traffic networks, agencies, platforms, technology providers, and service companies.
Having that variety in one place makes comparison easier. Whether you are looking for a new platform, offer, traffic source or business partner, the exhibition floor gives you the chance to speak directly with multiple providers before deciding which opportunities deserve a closer look.
50+ speakers will take to the stage across AGS Rome, bringing insights and experience from different corners of affiliate and performance marketing.
The value lies in hearing what people working in the market are actually seeing: where acquisition is changing, which channels are gaining attention, how businesses are testing new approaches and what challenges are shaping their decisions. It is an opportunity to leave with ideas that can inform your next test.
Performance marketing rarely stays within one niche for long. AGS gives delegates exposure to more than 10 verticals, including e-commerce, Nutra, finance, lead generation, software and other performance-driven markets.
For affiliates, advertisers and service providers, that creates room to look beyond familiar sectors. A strategy, traffic source or partnership model that works in one vertical may reveal opportunities in another.
AGS brings together delegates from more than 40 countries, creating opportunities to meet people who understand different markets, audiences and acquisition environments.
For businesses considering a new GEO, those conversations can be particularly valuable. Local partners can provide context that is difficult to get from market research alone, from how customers behave to which offers, traffic channels and partnerships are gaining traction.
Traffic remains one of the biggest questions in performance marketing: where can you find more of it, and which sources are worth testing?
AGS allows delegates to compare traffic providers, platforms, offers, and acquisition solutions face-to-face. Even one useful introduction could lead to another channel to test, a new campaign idea or a partner that was not previously on your radar.
An AGS ticket extends beyond the dedicated affiliate pavilion. Delegates also gain access to SiGMA, AIBC and FX.World across eight exhibition halls at Fiera Roma.
That creates crossover opportunities with businesses working in gaming, AI, blockchain, financial markets and other adjacent sectors. For anyone whose business already touches several industries, or could in the future, it means exploring a much wider commercial ecosystem without adding another conference trip to the calendar.
November is close enough to the end of the year for conversations at AGS to influence what happens next.
A new GEO, traffic source, technology provider, or partnership discovered in Rome could be worth testing as 2027 begins. Rather than waiting until January to start looking for new opportunities, delegates can use the summit to build their pipeline and identify where their time, budget and attention could go next.
The business case comes first, but the destination adds another reason to make the trip.
Meetings, networking and three full expo days will fill much of the schedule, but Rome also gives delegates somewhere worth staying beyond the exhibition halls. Whether that means dinner after meetings, seeing the city between commitments or extending the trip, there is room to combine business with one of Europe’s most recognisable destinations.
TrafficStars joins Affiliate Grand Slam Rome as Main Sponsor. The self-serve, multivertical advertising platform connects advertisers and publishers across 200+ countries, providing access to premium traffic, flexible buying models and technology built around campaign performance.
Advertisers can run campaigns across seven ad formats and use performance tools including TrafficStars’ proprietary Optimiser, Autobidder, retargeting and post-view tracking. The platform also offers Gryzo AI, its AI-powered assistant designed to support campaign management and optimisation.
With both self-serve and fully managed options, TrafficStars supports businesses entering new GEOs, testing new traffic sources and scaling established campaigns.

The value of a conference is ultimately measured by what you take home from it: the people you met, the opportunities you uncovered, and the ideas worth acting on next.
AGS Rome puts all three within reach. Over four days, delegates can meet businesses from across the performance marketing ecosystem, explore new verticals and traffic opportunities, hear how others are approaching growth, and extend their reach into three additional conferences with the same ticket.
