WHO’S

Get to know the key figures in the affiliate marketing and gaming scene.

There can be no doubt that Dubai offers unparalleled advantages when it comes to hosting a conference of this size and caliber - something we saw first hand when we successfully launched our first event outside of Malta last May for affiliation and emerging tech brands, AGS and AIBC.

Choosing to hold our first show of the year in the UAE was a natural decision. Dubai’s unique brand of business-friendly initiatives have continued to blossom, establishing the emirate as a leading destination for entrepreneurs with their fingers on the pulse of innovation. As a result, we’ve had to up our game - doubling the size of our expo floor from last year.

Looking to the future, the way forward feels full of possibilities and opportunity. With a vision of the future firmly focussed on innovation and technological advancement, the emirate continues to establish itself as a leader worth following, a nexus for the kind of investment and entrepreneurship that promises to define this era.

Drawing the leading figures in this sector, the expo aims to strengthen connections between policymakers, influencers, and investors, to spark good ideas to life, and to share knowledge. This coming together inspires the growth of this flourishing hub - attracting a new generation of entrepreneurs as the UAE continues to make its mark.

Later on in the year, we’ll also be launching an ambitious plan for several new shows, establishing a foothold in other regions envisaging a similarly bright future, such as Canada, before returning home for Malta Week in November.

Enjoy the show,
