Event sponsor will also moderate panel on eSports, fantasy, social betting and traditional gaming
Income Access, Paysafe Group’s marketing technology and services provider, will again be a sponsoring partner of AffiliateFEST, the annual digital accelerator dedicated to educating iGaming affiliates and sharing insights on digital growth hacking. Now in its fourth year, AffiliateFEST will take place on 19th September 2018 at the Hilton Olympia in London.
Through its sponsorship of AffiliateFEST, Income Access promotes skills development in the affiliate sector by supporting sessions focused on relevant themes, including advertising compliance codes, how mobile can add value to affiliate acquisition strategies and the role of artificial intelligence in the affiliate industry. Partnered with more than 250 iGaming brands across an array of markets, Income Access is a longstanding supporter of strategic evolution within the industry.
Sarafina Wolde Gabriel, Income Access’ Vice President of Strategy, will moderate one of the panel discussions, which will explore emerging trends across several growing sectors within the iGaming industry. E-sports, fantasy, social betting and traditional gaming will all be covered as panelists dissect the psychology of player behaviours, pitfalls and barriers to entry, and more.
This year’s edition of AffiliateFEST will feature 17 expert speakers, the full list of which can be found here.
AffiliateFEST is organised by Affiliate Insider, a company run by veteran affiliate marketer Lee-Ann Johnstone and dedicated to providing the latest affiliate marketing and industry news as well as organising bespoke workshops and skills development programmes to support the continued growth of the affiliate channel.
AffiliateFEST runs alongside the Betting on Sports conference week, which takes place from 18th to 21st September and will host 140 exhibitors, 2,500+ delegates and 200 leading industry speakers. Income Access is sponsoring one of the conference panel discussions – “Reaching the Player – where do affiliates fit in?” – which takes place on 19th September at 12:10 GMT at the Olympia London.
Lee-Ann Johnstone, Founder and CEO of AffiliateINSIDER, said: “AffiliateFEST offers in depth content that is designed to help affiliates grow their business. Our speakers are highly respected experts and everybody in attendance benefits from the depth of content that is shared in the workshop sessions. The personalised networking is invaluable as you really get to connect with brands that are keen to grow. You just don’t get this kind of insight from larger iGaming events and our delegates always leave with a host of ideas, great connections and insight to keep their business growing from strength to strength.”
Sarafina Wolde Gabriel, Vice President of Strategy at Income Access, said: “AffiliateFEST continues to display its commitment to building the affiliate channel through education. We’re proud to be both a sponsor and participant in this important event, which only grows more relevant over time.”
