By the end of 2023, it became clear that the two biggest CPA conferences, SiGMA and Affiliate World, had decided to team up.
Last spring, AW and SiGMA took place in Dubai just 14 days apart, so both companies and affiliates faced a difficult choice: which event to attend? Which one is going to be more profitable? Which will attract more professionals? As a result of these qualms, both conferences lost part of their audience.
However, organizers found a solution. In 2024, SiGMA and Affiliate Workd are scheduling their events throughout one week in one city. Affiliates and advertisers attending SiGMA Eurasia on February 25–27 will be able to participate in Affiliate World Dubai on February 28–29 without changing countries or staying in Dubai for too long.
SiGMA Eurasia
SiGMA Eurasia will be the first to start the week. The event will take place at the Festival Arena - Festival City Dubai. This is a multifunctional complex where exhibitions, major sporting events, and international competitions are held.
