iGB Affiliate Barcelona 2026 to bring "unprecedented" networking
iGB Affiliate Barcelona announced that its 2026 edition will feature the broadest and most ambitious networking offer in its history, designed so that affiliates, operators, and industry executives can connect, collaborate, and generate new business opportunities in a perfectly designed environment for this purpose.
The organization highlighted that, as an essential meeting point for the international affiliate community, they worked alongside key industry leaders to build an ecosystem of personalized spaces. The proposal will include meeting areas with prior reservation, VIP lounges, social hubs with tattoo artists, live DJs, brand activations, private booths, and free drink stations.
Presenting this new structure, Naomi Barton, portfolio director at Clarion Gaming, stated: “iGB Affiliate Barcelona has established itself as the definitive event for affiliates, operators, and iGaming leaders. Its growth of more than 20 percent annually is the result of listening to the industry's demands and, whenever possible, exceeding expectations. This year we are making the largest investment in our history to offer more and better connection opportunities, something the community has been requesting.”
Main news for 2026
One of the major additions will be iGB Hangout 2026, sponsored by Bet365 Partners. This space will bring together tattoo artists, live DJs, immersive brand experiences, meeting booths, and drinks, becoming the social heart of the event.
iGB Oasis will also debut, the outdoor counterpart located in the Sky Garden, an ideal space to relax and socialize with privileged views.
The event will also add iGB Introducing, sponsored by Eshkol, a scheduled meeting area within the exhibition floor. Through the official app, participants will be able to book tables and secure meetings with the right contacts.
The VIP Lounge, sponsored by Betfred, will offer an exclusive environment for private meetings or to disconnect from the general bustle. It will feature drinks and snacks throughout the day and will allow each VIP guest to attend with a companion.
In addition, there is the Affiliate Lounge, which in its fourth edition reaffirms its role as an exclusive space for affiliates. It will feature the classic Affiliate Bar, with live DJ and free drinks all day long.
An event in full expansion
The 2026 edition will occupy more than 18,000 m², a 20 percent increase compared to 2025 and almost double the space used in 2022. The expansion, which will bring the event to halls 8 and 8.1 of Fira Gran Via Barcelona, responds to a record demand from both new exhibitors and long-standing partners.
According to the organizers, the content program will also raise its level, with sessions on emerging markets, regulatory updates, AI-driven marketing strategies, and key analyses for the global affiliate ecosystem.
