The World’s Biggest Museum: All Roads Lead to Affiliate Grand Slam

The majestic memento of the past, the grand Colosseo, lying in ruins in the middle of Rome and basking in the lambent light of street lanterns, is a sight to behold: you may have never been that close to the cradle of civilization, and this might be your only opportunity to reach out and touch… Considering the history of the place and the relative proximity of the Vatican, you might as well recite a quote from Depeche Mode’s all-time classic Personal Jesus.

Yet Rome is much more than a remnant of an ancient empire resting on the laurels of its glorious past. Vibrant as ever, the city continues to develop in all directions—and Affiliate Grand Slam is a perfect example of how tradition and innovation can work hand in glove, creating something truly spectacular.

Trivia

We have every reason to believe that at the beginning of November every affiliate marketer will scamper to the capital of Italy, Rome, in an attempt to bypass the hurdles of modern business. Some might even go as far as to rise from the ashes of their last debacle like a phoenix. If you think that we have gone overboard with pathos—well, we haven’t: Affiliate Grand Slam is an event that can reshape your vision of the industry, change your perspective, and unveil the grand selection of offers and opportunities on the market. As AGS runs alongside SiGMA, AIBC, and FX.World, you’ll get a rare chance to explore multiple business ecosystems, connect with various audiences, and discover new technologies without being torn between several venues in different parts of the country.

The Affiliate Grand Slam conference may only be part of a grander show—SiGMA—yet it has something to brag about. Even the most inveterate affiliates, who skeptically scan every banner touting shows and parties, will feel compelled to pay heed to the following numbers. This year, AGS is projected to be the largest affiliate marketing exhibition, as it is expected to host

• 5,000+ delegates;

• 50+ speakers;

• 270+ exhibitors;

• and participants from 40+ countries.

Undoubtedly, you’re an experienced conference-goer yourself, and you can already decipher what it may mean: new partnerships, sponsorship opportunities, enhanced visibility, collaborations, sparks of creativity, and, potentially, new trends and requirements within a certain niche, or perhaps the entire industry.

Speaking of the niches of interest we’ve briefly mentioned in the previous paragraph, AGS leaves plenty of room for exploration. Are you in the lead generation vertical? Good, do come in. Pay-per-call? There’s a place for you, too. E-commerce, finance, apps, content marketing? Quite possible you’ll find something to your liking: according to the event’s attendee profile, the likes of you make up a substantial part of the AGS audience, with lead generation specialists accounting for 84% and e-commerce professionals following closely behind at 77%. For the more inquisitive ones, here are more numbers:

• Finance: 76%;

• Business opportunities & content marketing, both 71%;

• Dating & Nutra, both 68%;

• Pay-per-call: 64%;

• Mobile apps: 62%;

• Downloadable software: 60%;

• Insurance, legal, and home improvement: 58%.

As for the content program, it follows the same performance-oriented logic. Expect conversations around social media advertising, AI in marketing, influencer marketing, the latest affiliate-marketing trends, media buying, e-commerce, paid search and SEO, and… absolutely no gambling. It’s not that the organizers deem the niche in any way inferior to others; they simply want to create a brand-safe and commercially accessible environment for advertisers and partners across mainstream acquisition verticals. By remaining sector-agnostic while focusing firmly on measurable performance, the event encourages conversations that are relevant across markets without losing sight of ROI.

Wrapping Up

Affiliate Grand Slam is a show that doesn’t need any particular introduction: its statistics reveal everything you should know about the event—the attendees, the topics, the expectations… Yes, Rome may have been known for turning a mental image into sheer art and scientific prodigy, but AGS is taking on a more ambitious task: it intends to bring a different kind of construction to the city: partnerships, deals, acquisition strategies, and businesses built to last within the confines of the Fiera di Roma.
