Manchester to Host Affilifest North Marketing Festival
Affilifest North returns to Manchester on September 10, 2026. The one-day conference takes place at Freight Island and focuses on connecting major UK brands with high-volume publishers. The event positions itself as an industry festival, combining professional networking with a casual environment featuring live music and arcade games.
The 2026 edition centers on partnership development and strategic discussions. Attendees will engage in high-energy meetups designed to facilitate direct contact between merchants and affiliates. The programming aims to move beyond traditional networking by integrating social elements into the business schedule.
Focus on AI and Creator Integration
The content sessions will address two primary shifts in the performance marketing landscape: AI-driven discovery and the integration of creators into affiliate programs. Participants can expect actionable insights on how artificial intelligence is changing how consumers find products and how brands can better manage creator-led partnerships at scale.
Attendance and Registration
The event follows a specific access model typical for performance marketing gatherings. Registration is free for representatives of brands (merchants) and publishers (affiliates). This structure aims to ensure a balanced ratio between those providing products and those driving traffic.
The venue, Freight Island, provides an expansive setting for both the structured meetups and the festival-style entertainment. Organizers emphasize that while the atmosphere is relaxed, the core objective remains the establishment of new affiliate partnerships and the optimization of existing marketing strategies.
