The Only Affiliate Conference
Built FOR Marketers, BY Marketers
Look, you already know the drill. Learn some stuff, meet some people, hit a party or five. Every affiliate event says the same thing. But Affiliate Takeover is playing a different game.
You’ll get the networking opportunities you came for. Of course there are heavy-hitter speakers dropping serious value on stage. And yes, there’s time to let your hair down — this is Miami, after all. But (and it’s a big but), this is white-hat only. No crypto cowboys. No sketchy lead gen bros. No wasting time trying to figure out who's legit. Everyone here is the real deal, and they’re here for the right reasons.
That changes everything. People actually make time to connect, share and support. No one’s guarding their secrets or sizing you up. It’s a community that backs each other, because no one’s busy dodging red flags.
And no, we’re not packing the room just to make the numbers look impressive. We’re curating the crowd. Quality over quantity, every time. The best affiliates, brands and networks show up because they believe in ATO and have done since day one.
The FOMO from Barcelona was very real. Don’t make the same mistake twice.

Why Barcelona?
If you've been to Barcelona before, you'll know the vibe.
Late dinners, louder nights and mornings that start with city skyline views and strong coffee.
It’s Europe’s ultimate playground - beach clubs, hidden bars and that irresistible buzz that keeps you out way past midnight. And when it’s all done? Ibiza or Berlin are just a quick flight away.
