The conference agenda The agenda of AW Summit [VERIFY: image shows the 2024 agenda] Learn, mix and mingle using the official agenda.

Bring your QR code and ID. Do this on Monday; the queue at the Expo Center on Tuesday morning is the one thing everyone regrets. From 15:00 to 17:00, the Welcome Drinks sponsored by MojoHost run at the Crowne Plaza — the easiest first-day networking you'll get. In the evening, Executive ticket holders and sponsors have the Romanian Dinner (18:00–22:00, Face Convention Center) and models have a Cosmo Payment Meet & Greet (18:00–20:00). Day 1: Tuesday, September 22 Registration opens at 10:30 at the Face Convention Center if you missed Monday. The Meet Market runs 11:00–13:00: companies bring merch, business cards, and their pitch, and it is the fastest way to meet potential partners. The Expo, Executive Lounge and Creators Area open at 13:00 and run to 17:00, alongside 30-minute 1:1 sessions with Google account managers at the Google booth (book in advance via the agenda page). Main Stage: the SEO & AI panel at 14:00 and the 7-figure affiliates panel at 15:00. The Creators Area runs its own stage all afternoon (friends2follow, OnlyMonster, a payments panel for creators) plus a Cosmo Payment happy hour for OF agencies. From 16:30 to 18:00, pick your vertical: the Nutra & E-commerce Gathering (speed-dating-for-business format, sponsored by PlatformPay.io) or Speed Networking for Adult (Stripcash). Invite-only vertical dinners follow at 19:30 (ShipOffers for nutra/e-com, friends2follow for creators; request an invite from the sponsor or [email protected]).

Dress code: black and red. End AW Summit with a bang. Networking opportunities Beyond the expo and the stages, the real business at AW Summit happens in the formats built for it. Networking events Meet Market, vertical gatherings with speed-networking rounds, Google 1:1 consulting slots, sponsor-hosted dinners (executive and invite-only) and two official parties. Everything except the dinners is at or next to the venue and listed in the app. AW Summit networking app The official app (iOS and Android) lets you browse and message attendees, speakers, and exhibitors before, during, and after the event, book meetings, and check venue maps. Set up your profile and start requesting meetings the week before; on-site it gets chaotic. Tickets pricing & discount Two ticket types: REGULAR and EXECUTIVE. Here is what separates them: REGULAR TICKET — access to both conference days, expo floor, Main Stage and Creators Area sessions, official parties, the event app and the attendee contact list. EXECUTIVE TICKET — everything above plus the Executive Lounge (buffet and drinks on both days), the Romanian Dinner on pre-registration day, priority party access and your logo on the website. Free regular tickets are available for individual affiliates, media buyers, content creators, models, studios/agenciess, and Romanian startups under one year old.

TES Affiliate Conference is Europe's leading performance-marketing event, held twice a year: September in Prague and March in Spain (Seville / Marbella). The next edition is TES Prague, September 25–28, 2026 at the Vienna House by Wyndham Diplomat. Expect 1,700–2,000 attendees, a full seminar programme and hundreds of exhibiting companies. Community discount code is further down. What is the TES Affiliate Conference? TES brings together affiliates, advertisers, media buyers, publishers and content creators working in affiliate marketing, AI and performance marketing. Point-blank, the goal is to bring the brightest minds in the industry to one venue for four days and let deals happen. It sits at the top of our list of affiliate conferences for networking, and in my book it is a must-attend if you want to meet the people who actually move traffic and budgets in this industry. Why should you attend? Networking is the main reason I go. Most of the people and companies that matter in performance marketing are there, or at least sent a representative. In the weeks before the event, my feeds fill up with companies announcing their booth number and asking to book meetings. You connect through structured networking (the Meet Market, speed networking, scheduled meetings) and informal ones (drinks, dinners, parties). Even if you are an introvert, attendees are open and friendly, and the vibe is relaxed. Get your TES Prague ticket There are discount coupon codes available so search for them to save on the ticket price. Conference agenda The full agenda is on the conference website. The format mixes networking blocks, meetings, drinks, and seminars, which is why TES works so well. Friday, September 25 – pre-registration and badge pickup, followed by the early-bird happy hour. Pick up your badge on Friday to skip the queue on day one. Saturday, September 26 – Meet Market day: tables of networks, advertisers and traffic sources in one hall. This is where you line up a week of deals in an afternoon. Sunday, September 27 – expo opens and the seminar tracks start. Sessions run in parallel and are not recorded, so pick yours in advance. Monday, September 28 – final day: more seminars, networking events and meetups. On a tight schedule? Do at least Saturday and Sunday for maximum networking and knowledge. Speakers The speakers page lists every speaker, their track, and a short abstract, so plan which sessions to attend. Because the tracks are not recorded, speakers tend to share more with the room than they would on a webinar. You can catch them after the session, in the app, or at the side events. Networking opportunities Networking events Drinks, the Meet Market, the expo floor, sponsored lunches, day and night bars, and the official parties are all included in the ticket. Be warned: networking areas get loud and crowded at peak times. Networking app TES runs the agenda, announcements, and attendee messaging through its event app [VERIFY: still Whova?]. Install it before you fly: you can browse attendees, speakers and exhibitors, request meetings and pitch your services before, during and after the conference. Get your TES Prague ticket Exhibitors & partners Exhibitors cover affiliate networks, ad networks, AI tools, banking and payments, CPA networks, crypto, digital agencies, domains, hosting and SEO. Many more companies attend without a booth, so use the app to book meetings with the people you want to do business with. Ticket pricing TES uses staged pricing, so the earlier you buy, the less you pay. For Prague 2026 the last public tiers are €799 until September 15 and €999 after that and at the door. [VERIFY: current tier and whether the free/sponsored affiliate ticket still exists] Every ticket includes the expo, Meet Market, seminars, speed networking, sponsored welcome drinks and lunches, day and night bars, refreshments, the networking app and all official parties. There are discount coupon codes available so search for them to save on the ticket price. My previous TES experience TES Prague 2023 was my first TES. I was blown away by the networking: several hundred people talking, networking, and doing business at the same time, all with a friendly, positive attitude. Besides the official events, there were plenty of side events, from drinks and parties to massages, so it was the right mix of business and leisure. I came home with over 100 business cards and Telegram contacts. Budget a few days after the event to go through them and separate the real partners from the small talk. PROs & CONs PROs 1,700–2,000 attendees who are there to learn, earn and network Plenty of performance marketing, AI and SEO tracks Good balance of networking, seminars and fun Affordable if you buy early Wide range of niches: dating, cams, finance, crypto, gaming, e-commerce Works for B2B marketers and individual creators alike CONs Parallel tracks are not recorded, so choose carefully Networking areas get loud and crowded Get your TES Prague ticket How to make the most of your presence Five things I learned from attending a lot of digital marketing conferences: Set your goals. Network, learn, sign new partners or meet existing ones. Pick one or two and focus. Book your key meetings in advance. The app shows attendees, speakers and exhibitors. The floor gets chaotic; unbooked meetings don't happen. Bring the right attitude. Cheerful, open and ready to learn beats everything else. Pick your tracks. Sessions overlap. If you come with a team, split them up to cover more. Follow up fast. Start within days. After a week people forget who you were or have already signed elsewhere.
