Feb 17, 2022

After what seems like an eternity, COVID-19 restrictions have finally eased in many parts of the world. That means we’re free to attend all of those exciting events that we missed out on over the last 18 months.

2022’s affiliate marketing calendar is already packed with exciting events, all of which are taking place in real venues rather than the virtual conferences we’ve become so accustomed to attending.

For experienced affiliate marketers, conference-style events present an excellent opportunity to network with publishers and learn about the latest affiliate marketing trends and strategies. For beginners, affiliate marketing events are also valuable, with workshops and expert talks giving a good introduction to this online-business niche.

What Do Affiliate Marketing Events Involve?

Affiliate marketing events are typically conference-style gatherings where affiliate marketers, businesses and curious newcomers come to hear experts speak about the best techniques and tricks to generate an online income and promote affiliate offers and products. The conferences are often large in scale, sitting somewhere between a networking event and an educational workshop in format.

Four Great Reasons to Attend an Affiliate Marketing Event

There are many benefits to attending an affiliate marketing event, even if you’re new to this niche. Here are four great reasons to take part:

You’ll Get To Meet Other Affiliate Marketers

A successful affiliate marketing career involves collaborating with other entrepreneurs and managers in so-called “joint ventures.” Affiliate events are great places to form business partnerships, meet online acquaintances in person and plan future collaborations.

You’ll Learn the Latest Techniques From Experts

Even affiliate experts need to refresh their knowledge on the latest marketing techniques. Internet marketing strategies change quickly, so conferences can be a great place to hear about the latest affiliate trends and insider tips.

You’ll Get To Meet Product Owners and Merchants

Meeting the merchants who are offering affiliate programs can help you understand how those companies tick, giving you a better understanding of their product offerings. If you’re interested in promoting digital products, conferences can help inspire confidence and add a greater element of tangibility.

You’ll Leave Feeling Optimistic and Inspired

The early days of an affiliate marketing career can be a frustrating and lonely time for beginners. Conferences can provide a massive confidence boost and even help new marketers form lifelong friendships.
