ZERO DULL MOMENTS. PROPER OUTCOMES.
At Affilifest North we’ve ditched the “awkward expo” format so you can expect a day of high-energy meetups, actionable insights, live debates and a diary packed with more meetings than you can shake a stick at.
All delivered with the signature Affilifest festival vibes: relaxed, welcoming, and a little bit unexpected.
Best of all? It’s free for brands and publishers! So sign up and join PLT, The Hut Group, AO and hundreds of the UK's biggest regional brands at Affilifest North in Manchester on the 10th September 2026.
WHY ATTEND? BECAUSE THE RIGHT PARTNERSHIPS
DON'T HAPPEN BY ACCIDENT
Your Next Best Partner? They'll Be Here
From structured 1-2-1 meetings to roundtables built for real conversions (not just polite small talk), Affilifest North is designed to spark the kind of conversations that happen when the right people are in the same room. Use our app to arrange meetings in advance, or just bump into your next partner over coffee. You’ll be leaving with follow-ups that actually go somewhere and relationships that actually matter.
Content Worth Staying Off Your Phone For
You’ll find sessions on incrementality, AI-driven discovery, creator integration and attribution. Expect honest takes from people doing the work - not polished answers from the same faces you see on every panel at every event. You might even find that the sharpest industry insights of the day come from a panel where the only way to dodge a tough question is to eat a very VERY hot wing…
Serious Business. Genuinely Good Crack
Affilifest North has networking like you’ve never seen before. This is where we make conversations about how to make sense of the messy middle between affiliate, social commerce, brand-owned rewards and creator partnerships fun. You can expect live music, arcade games, relaxed meetups and a bar that earns its keep. The best partnerships get built when people aren't trying too hard and we designed the whole day around that.
YOU'LL BE IN
GOOD COMPANY
From retail giants to disruptive DTC brands, Affilifest North brings together the people shaping affiliate growth across the UK.
