See us at Affilifest 2026.
Rightlander is heading back to the seaside for two days of roller-disco networking, fiery panels and serious partnership conversations. Come say hello, grab a coffee, and let us show you how compliance can actually grow your programme.
Where
Dreamland, Marine Terrace, Margate, CT9 1XJ. Sixty minutes by train from London St Pancras. Bring flat shoes for the roller disco.
Who from Rightlander
Sarafina Wolde Gabriel, Sunny Yadu and Jonathan Elkin will be on the ground across both days. Grab them between panels.
The Rightlander crew
Who you will meet.
Three people, three very different lenses on affiliate compliance and partner growth. Whether you want a product walkthrough, a commercial conversation or a frank chat about where your programme is leaking revenue, there is someone to match.
Sarafina Wolde Gabriel
Chief Executive Officer
Nineteen years in digital marketing leadership across iGaming, including six iGB Best Affiliate Network wins. Sarafina is the person to talk to about strategic partnerships, new markets and where compliance monitoring is going next.
Best for: operators weighing a programme overhaul, networks looking at partnership models, investors and strategic conversations.
Sunny Yadu
Business Development Manager
Legal background, a decade in global brand protection, and a deep feel for how advertisers can use compliance as a revenue lever rather than a cost centre. Sunny opens new jurisdictions and finds creative angles on tough commercial problems.
Best for: brands entering new markets, agencies scoping partner-monitoring for clients, anyone curious about Trackback Discovery.
Jonathan Elkin
Sales Director
Fifteen years helping brands protect themselves online, including three years in the US with CSC Digital Brand Services and BrandVerity. Jonathan is direct, commercial and builds long-term relationships that stick.
Best for: commercial scoping, pricing conversations, roll-out planning and anyone ready to move from shortlist to signature.
Why we love Affilifest
This is how partnership marketing events should feel.
Most industry conferences are expo halls, fluorescent lights and a queue for bad coffee. Affilifest is the opposite. It is festival-energy, seaside air and the people you actually want to spend two days with.
Meetings that matter
Over 1,300 attendees, more than 500 brands and retailers, and a curated meetings programme that means you leave with commitments, not a bag of lanyards.
Real conversations, fewer pitches
Roundtables, fiery panels and live debates on the topics the industry actually argues about: tracking, validation, payment speeds, the fake-code problem, and where affiliate meets influencer.
Margate in June
Breakfast on the beach. Networking on the Big Wheel. A roller disco. An after-party that runs late. A setting that makes strangers talk.
The UK community in one place
Affiliate managers, publishers, networks, tech partners and the people making the decisions. If you work in UK affiliate and partnership marketing, this is where your year happens.
Book a meeting
