The 13th Affiliate Stammtisch Leipzig has solidified its speaker roster for the upcoming industry gathering on June 11, 2026. Organizers adseed and Projecter confirmed eight new experts who will address a range of technical and strategic topics, from legal frameworks in Performance Marketing to the evolving role of content in the Customer Journey.
While major international conferences often focus on broad industry shifts, regional summits like the Leipzig Stammtisch are increasingly becoming critical hubs for tactical knowledge exchange. In the DACH region, where privacy regulations and high-quality content standards dictate ROI, these localized deep dives provide the granular insights that global platforms often overlook.
UGC and Network Strategy Insights
Christoph Kilz, Managing Director of 1337 UGC GmbH, leads the new additions with a focus on how user-generated content (UGC) is reshaping conversion paths. The network and platform perspective will be represented by Juliane Metag (Awin) and André Koegler (impact.com), providing updates on tracking infrastructure and partnership management. Additionally, Viktoria Tauchnitz from DeutschlandCard GmbH will offer a deep dive into the Loyalty Marketing sector, a segment currently seeing a resurgence as First-Party-Data becomes the primary currency for Advertisers.
Technical SEO and Legal Compliance
The technical track of the event features Maik Schindler (Webworks), who will analyze current SEO developments affecting Publisher visibility. Tobias Sökefeld from F.A.Z. Kaufkompass is set to discuss the growing influence of editorial product recommendations, while Tilman Herbrich of Spirit Legal will provide a legal analysis of Performance Marketing—a crucial topic given the tightening of European tracking and data privacy rules. The lineup is completed by Torsten Leidloff (Artefact).
Why local expertise matters for global strategy
For international Media Buyers and Merchants operating in Central Europe, the Leipzig event serves as a barometer for the German-speaking market. The shift toward high-authority editorial commerce (represented by F.A.Z. Kaufkompass) and the integration of UGC into the Affiliate funnel are not just local trends; they reflect a global move toward more authentic, non-incentivized traffic sources. Marketers attending or following the event can expect actionable data on how to navigate the intersection of technical SEO and strict legal compliance in a post-cookie environment.
