iGB Affiliate Barcelona 26 outlines new networking strategies, tangible business results

iGB Affiliate Barcelona 2026 is set to return, with the event poised to bring even better and more impactful networking strategies that will translate into real-world results and help drive business growth and reach.

The event styles itself as a business-critical gathering for the international affiliate community, with organizers working closely with stakeholders to ensure that the event’s ecosystem is tailored to the needs of companies that participate.

To this end, iGB Affiliate has worked on tailored facilities, including pre-bookable hosted meeting spaces, VIP Lounges, and dynamic social hubs with tattoo salons, live DJs, immersive brand experiences, meeting pods, and complementary drinks, the hosts said in an official press statement.

Clarion Gaming Portfolio Director Naomi Barton has offered a statement as to what the affiliate community can expect and how close work with stakeholders will result in better and more worthwhile opportunities for everyone attending the upcoming gathering.

"iGBAffiliate Barcelona has earned a reputation for being the ultimate iGaming affiliate event for affiliates, operators, and industry leaders.

The growth of the show, which is over 20% larger year-on-year has been achieved by listening to what the industry wants and, wherever possible, exceeding its expectations. We are making our biggest investment on record to deliver what the international community has requested, which is more and improved opportunities to network with colleagues and partners, which we have been delighted to deliver."

There are various new formats and improved old ones that are sponsored by prominent industry stakeholders. Among those are the 2026 iGB Hangout, which is backed by Bet365 Partners, and which will feature immersive brand experiences, meeting pods, drinks, and more.

For the more outdoorsy sorts, there is the iGB Oasis, which is a mirror event to iGB Hangout, and also brand new to the 2026 edition, and hosted in the Sky Garden, hailed as a spot-on venue for relaxing, socializing, and networking in a laidback manner.

Yet, this does not exhaust the string of serious events the company is preparing. iGB Introducing, backed by Eshkol, is designed to make networking frictionless and allow attendees to rapidly connect. Companies can use the show’s dedicated app to pre-book a meeting and manage their busy event calendar.

Then, there is The Vip Lounge, backed by Betfred, which is an exclusive luxury space that will host a select audience and allow them to once again network, host meetings, and also unwind in a private setting. The lounge will serve complimentary drinks and snacks, taking care of attendees’ comfort.

The Affiliate Lounge is entering its 4th edition, which is similarly geared towards delegates who wish to wind down and relax, but also keep in touch. Then, of course, there is The Affiliate Bar, which comes with a live DJ and more complimentary drinks.

The event is due to take place on January 20-21, 2026, at the Fira Gran Via in Barcelona. This year’s edition is scaling its footprint to 18,000 sq mt.
