AffPapa Conference Cancun 2026 from AffPapa

AffPapa put on Mexico’s first iGaming conference in 2025, and Cancun turned out well enough that the team is coming back with a bigger edition. Around 600 people are expected, split in a ratio the industry rarely sees: 40% affiliates, 40% operators, 20% B2B. Every operator rep in the room has a webmaster to talk to rather than three competitors bidding for the same conversation.

Date of event: 23.11.2026

Location:

Cancún, Mexico

Time:

November 23–25, 2026

The scope is deliberately narrow, and that is the point. Every session on the agenda is built around Latin America: how advertising rules actually play out across Mexico, Brazil and Peru, how payments get channelized, whether CPA or RevShare wins with LatAm operators specifically, how influencer traffic compares with classic affiliate work in the region. The rest runs on face time: speed-dating rotations, an expo floor, panels, a beach party and the AffPapa Awards LatAm ceremony to close things out.

What to expect

Speed-dating sessions – timed rotations in a dedicated networking area, enough to cover a dozen prospects in one sitting.
Exhibition Zone – branded booths from operators, affiliate programs and B2B vendors, SoftSwiss and Play’n GO through to Trackier and StatsDrone.
Speakers’ Zone – LatAm-specific panels and talks: advertising and regulation, AI in player acquisition, SEO versus GEO, payments and channelization.
Google keynote – a dedicated slot from a Google representative on day two.
Welcome Drinks – informal opening the evening before the main programme.
Pool Party at Mandala Beach Club – beachside party after the first conference day.
AffPapa Awards LatAm Ceremony – closing awards night, requires a separate ticket or a VIP pass.
