Rightlander is heading to the Kent seaside this summer for Affilifest 2026, the UK affiliate and partnership marketing festival, held at Dreamland Margate on 3 and 4 June.

CEO Sarafina Wolde Gabriel, Business Development Manager Sunny Yadu and Sales Director Jonathan Elkin will be on the ground across both days. They are ready to talk affiliate compliance, sub-affiliate transparency, Trackback Discovery, new-market expansion and how top brands are turning partner monitoring into a genuine revenue lever.

Regulation keeps changing. Rightlander's affiliate compliance software adapts automatically, so your affiliate, search and social marketing stays compliant in every market.

“Affilifest is the rare industry event that does not feel like an industry event,” said Jonathan Elkin. “The agenda, the venue and the crowd all pull in the same direction. We leave Margate with relationships, not receipts, and we always come back with a clearer view of where the partnership market is going next.”

This year’s Affilifest has expanded to two full days, with more than 1,300 attendees expected, including over 500 brands and retailers. The programme blends roundtables, fiery panels and live debates on tracking, validation, payment speeds, the fake-code problem and the convergence of affiliate, influencer and referral, alongside roller-disco networking, Big Wheel meetings and a seaside after-party.

Rightlander’s team will be available for 25-minute one-to-one meetings. Priorities this year include:

  • Operators looking to tighten affiliate compliance across regulated markets
  • Networks and agencies wanting to scale partner intelligence across advertisers
  • Brands planning to enter new jurisdictions in iGaming, finance, crypto or eCommerce
  • Teams evaluating sub-affiliate transparency and Trackback Discovery

“Compliance is no longer a cost centre for sharp advertisers,” said Sarafina Wolde Gabriel. “It is how they find hidden traffic, score new partners before activation and protect the spend that already works. That is the conversation we want to have at Margate.”

The Rightlander event hub has full details, including team profiles, frequently asked questions about Affilifest, travel notes and a direct meeting-request form.
