Who's confirmed, by role, and why each role matters to a brand

AGS Rome 2026 Welcome Kit · 2 to 5 November · Fiera Roma

The official exhibitor list, with each company's own description, is here: https://affiliategrandslam.com/exhibitors-sponsors/. This page is that list sorted for you, one line each. New names land until the doors open.

Before you pay for a pass or book a flight, see who's relevant to your brand. This is the exhibitor list as it stands today, sorted by what each company is to a merchant: the marketplaces where you'd list an offer, the networks that would run it, the agencies and buyers who choose what to run, TikTok, Meta and Google with people on the floor, and the payments, fulfilment and retention companies a brand actually deals with. One line each.

Read it with one question: which of these could put my product in front of people I'm not reaching, and reach them differently from the ads I already run? The brands still growing have partners on lists like this. You've never had one reply to an email. Here they're at a stand, and their job is finding brands.

Write three names. Three companies whose accepted meeting would make Rome worth planning. If they're not here, you've spent ten minutes. If they are, you have a shortlist, and the Best Value for Money Guide prices what it takes to meet them.

Names in bold are on the AGS homepage. A logo tells you the company is coming; it doesn't tell you whether they take your category or what they pay. That's the ten-minute conversation, and "What you bring" is how you prepare for it.

Affiliate marketplaces

Where a brand lists an offer and affiliates choose it. The marketplace handles tracking and payment, so it's the lowest-friction way to be found by people who run traffic.

CPA and affiliate networks

A network runs consumer offers to its own traffic and partners. A partner funds the promotion and earns an agreed commission on qualifying sales; your job is to make sure the sale still leaves enough margin to be worth having. Ask what they need from a brand to take it on.

Agencies and service providers

Performance agencies and affiliate-management specialists. Some run traffic for brands on retainer or performance; Affpal recruits and manages affiliates for programs.

Platforms exhibiting with staff

TikTok, Meta and Google with people on the floor. The question the rep dodges gets asked to a human.

Traffic sources and ad networks

Channels you may not be running: native, push, in-app, CTV, messaging. A second route to buyers that reaches shoppers differently from your feed ads.

Payments, billing and finance

Processing, chargebacks, subscription billing, cards. If you sell on subscription or in more than one market, this row is worth a walk.

Fulfilment, logistics, retention and CRO for ecommerce

Fulfilment, logistics, retention, CRO. The operational side. If you're comparing landed cost or a new market, these are the people to ask.

Tracking, attribution and program platforms

The software brands use to run a partner program. If you don't have one yet, Everflow, Trackier and Trackdesk are the kind of platform you'd need before a partner sends a click.

Creative, funnel, email and AI tools

Creative, funnel and email tooling. Useful if you're rebuilding your own production.

Direct advertisers, offer owners and lead buyers

Other offer owners and direct advertisers. Peers, not counterparties. Worth comparing notes with on how they structure payouts.

Media, communities and education

The industry press and communities.

Accounts, cards, hosting and infrastructure

Media-buying infrastructure. Mostly not a brand's concern; listed for completeness.
