Clarion Events has solidified its leading role in affiliate marketing by incorporating Affiliate Summit into its portfolio. The purchase price for the globe’s top affiliate marketing conference, formerly held by the team behind iGB Affiliate, remains undisclosed. Affiliate Summit is a multi-day gathering showcasing an exhibition space filled with affiliates, vendors, technology suppliers, and networks, alongside numerous conference streams exploring the newest industry trends.
This acquisition encompasses more than just the primary event – it also brings FeedFront publication, the GeekCast.fm audio series, industry journal ReveNews.com, and the yearly AffStat industry standard analysis into the mix.
Shawn Collins, a seasoned marketing professional and co-creator of Affiliate Summit, expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “Joining forces with Clarion will amplify the worth of our current brands and offer prospects to introduce fresh products into developing sectors.” He continued, “The fusion of Affiliate Summit with iGaming Business will yield substantial collaborative benefits for participants and exhibitors alike.”
Alex Pratt, Director at iGB Affiliate, mirrored this feeling, remarking, “This is a momentous acquisition for Clarion, uniting the biggest affiliate marketing event coordinator with Clarion’s assets, proficiency, and proven history of managing affiliate gatherings in the iGaming and financial domains.”
