Leading UK Young Entrepreneur to headline AffiliateFEST agenda

Published

One of the most exciting young entrepreneurs in the UK will be speaking exclusively at this year’s AffiliateFEST about influencer marketing and how it is impacting affiliate brands.

Influencer CEO Ben Jeffries is just one of many speakers lined up for the fourth edition of the Affiliate Insider organised event, which is being held at Hilton Olympia on Wednesday 19 September alongside the Betting on Sports Week in London (18-21 September).

Ben Jeffries, recently named by NatWest as one of 15 young entrepreneurs to watch out for in 2018, will invite #AffiliateFest2018 delegates to explore influencer marketing as an acquisition medium and help them to understand its value as a new form of online marketing.

At just 22 years of age, Jeffries has already established himself as the face of influencer marketing. He raised £150,000 to launch Influencer in 2014, before re-launching the brand in 2017 with the support of YouTube sensation Caspar Lee, with the duo combining to provide the simplest and most effective way to connect brands with social media influencers.

His afternoon keynote speech will emphasise the AffiliateFEST focus on providing affiliates with FREE content around digital learning, supplemented by tangible session takeaways, as opposed to the selling and promotion of services.

Jeffries commented: “AffiliateFEST is a great opportunity for me to engage with the brightest affiliates in the iGaming industry. There is a close correlation between influencer and affiliate marketing and I’m excited to have this opportunity to show the benefits of using influencer marketing over and above traditional marketing to explain the value that this relationship will have for affiliate sites.”

Affiliate Insider CEO Lee-Ann Johnstone added: “AffiliateFEST offers affiliates the opportunity to get close to successful entrepreneurs, suppliers and operators who have a vested interest in growing their affiliate marketing business. We bring the industry’s best experts to the table to discuss real insight, in a private setting.

“The objective of this conference is to promote better collaboration and revenue growth. We’re thrilled to have a leading UK entrepreneur like Ben join us this year to help iGaming affiliates get the best insights on how influencer marketing can be used to engage acquisition growth.”

As well as Jeffries, the confirmed speaker lineup already includes RefToken CEO Jan Sammut, Miratrix Founder Nick Duddy, Harris Hagan Partner John Hagan, Mishcon Partner Nick Nocton, Scout Gaming Group Commercial Director Joakim Renman, BGO CMO Allan Turner, Blockchip COO Diana Rotaru and former Google SEO expert Fili Wiese from Search Brothers.

Affiliate Leaders Summit Grows 40% as Global Operators and Affiliates Flock to Lisbon

 

Following a successful run, the Affiliate Leaders Summit will make its return to the Feira Internacional de Lisboa (FIL) this September, now expanded to a three-day format and featuring the debut of the Affiliate Leaders Awards.

Taking place from 16–18 September, the Affiliate Leaders Summit runs alongside SBC Summit as a focused, standalone platform for affiliates, affiliate managers, and enabling suppliers. It also delivers a more targeted networking and learning experience, with a dedicated content stage and curated audience of 8,000 operator representatives and 3,500 affiliates.

Affiliate Leaders Summit delegates will also enjoy full access to wider SBC Summit features, including evening socials, the main expo floor, and Super Stage keynotes from leading voices such as Gary Vaynerchuk.

Rasmus Sojmark, Founder and CEO of SBC, said: “Last year’s launch of the Affiliate Leaders Summit was a big milestone for us. The response was incredible, but we knew we could do even more. That’s why this year, we’re giving it the time it deserves; three full days to ensure attendees can take in everything this event has to offer.

“We’re also introducing the Affiliate Leaders Awards, which I’m personally very excited about. Affiliates play a vital role in this industry, and it’s time we had a platform that truly celebrates their work alongside the operator programmes and suppliers who help make it all happen.”

A 40% expansion of the 2025 show floor also underscores the event’s rising influence, following 2024’s debut that earned standout NPS ratings—79 from affiliates and 68 from operators. This year’s exhibitor list is stacked with leaders of the field, including Catena Media, Clever Advertising, Evoke, Flashscore, Kaizen Gaming, Medier, Megapari, Novibet, and Shake, offering attendees direct access to key players across the affiliate and operator landscape.

On the conference side of things, the Affiliate Leaders Stage at this year’s summit delivers a powerful three-day journey through the evolution of affiliate marketing,  starting with the martech tools redefining performance and partnerships, moving into audience-focused strategies that tap into community-driven SEO and smarter collaboration, and culminating in a forward-looking exploration of AI, diversification beyond Google, and the future role of affiliate managers.

With debates, CEO insights, hands-on workshops, and panels tackling everything from automation and CRM to content authenticity and deal transparency, this stage arms attendees with the ideas, tools, and strategies needed to thrive in a rapidly shifting digital landscape.

The conference sessions will bring together some of the biggest names in affiliate marketing, including Jonathan Edelshaim (CEO, Natural Intelligence), Elaine Gardiner-Ruddock (Managing Director, TAG Media), Peter Gunni (CEO, Traffic Lab), Filip Komljenovic (Head of Sales, Sofascore), Deb Lee (Director of AI & Data Operations, CILA, Entain), Andre Machado (CCO, Clever Advertising), Leanne Muleba (Chief Operations Officer, Matching Visions), and Johan Styren (CEO & Co-founder, Dilanti Media).

Those joining the Affiliate Leaders Summit will benefit not only from the tailored content on the dedicated stage and Super Stage but also from the addition of the Global Markets and Emerging Markets stages. With affiliates and operators among the most curious about cross-border growth, these new stages provide an ideal opportunity to explore regional strategies and understand new audiences.

Affiliate and operator attendees can expect the VIP treatment at the Affiliate Leaders Summit, with complimentary access to the event’s premium evening networking lineup. That includes the high-energy Opening Party with Joel Corry and Imanbek, and the return of INFINITY Lisbon, featuring electrifying performances from Alok and Timmy Trumpet.

Sojmark added: “The Affiliate Leaders Summit is designed to make networking and easier by giving you a dedicated space to connect. But the hospitality doesn’t stop there. You’re part of the full SBC Summit experience. With access to all six stages, complimentary food and drinks at the Food Festival, and the freedom to explore every area of the event, you’re welcome to engage as widely as you like. The Affiliate Leaders Summit simply helps you focus your efforts where they matter most.”
