Four days of high-intensity networking at the Hard Rock Hotel Marbella will define the European Performance Marketing calendar from March 9 to 12, 2026. The TES Affiliate Conference is considered one of the central networking dates for the European Affiliate industry. Participants from the sectors of E-Commerce, Lead Gen, and Financial Services will converge in Southern Spain to forge new partnerships and deepen existing business relationships.
The TES format is traditionally characterized by a mix of technical presentations, panel discussions, and intensive meet-and-greet sessions. While the exact agenda for the March 2026 date is still being finalized, experience shows the focus lies on practical strategies for Publishers and Merchants.
Direct Networking as a Core Component
A characteristic feature of the conference is the focus on direct exchange between stakeholders. TES events often forgo classic trade hall concepts in favor of lounges and networking zones. This is intended to promote dialogue between technology providers, traffic sources, and Advertisers. In Marbella, the entire infrastructure of the Hard Rock Hotel is available to the sector for business meetings.
Technical Integration and Data Trends
Visitors can expect insights into current developments such as Server-to-Server Tracking, AI-supported campaign management, and new regulations in the area of data privacy. As the industry consolidates globally, events of this nature provide a platform to efficiently coordinate cross-border cooperation within the European region. Technical discussions often center on optimizing the API-driven data exchange between Networks and internal tracking stacks.
Registration for the four-day event is available via the organizer's official portal. Early registration is common due to limited hotel capacities on-site. For international Media Buyers and technical leads, the event provides a critical touchpoint to evaluate the performance of current DSP and SSP integrations in a face-to-face environment.
For global Performance Marketing professionals, the Marbella summit represents a key opportunity to align technical roadmaps with European market requirements for the 2026 fiscal year.
