Where to look for real partnerships: Expo Floor vs side events
Work in the exhibition area
Expo Floor is best suited for initial introduction to the market.
It is convenient here:
collect contacts of new affiliate networks, advertisers and operators;
watch new AdTech, FinTech and software solutions;
compare basic commercial conditions;
get to know account and affiliate managers;
to arrange the next private meeting.
At the same time, it’s not worth trying to visit hundreds of stands in one day. It’s much more effective to make a list of companies in advance that the team really wants to talk to.
Side events and private meetings
Subject negotiations often continue after the expo ends - at partner dinners, afterparties, VIP events, and individual B2B meetings.
It is more convenient to discuss there:
personal commercial conditions;
private offers;
available limits;
new GEOs;
upcoming tests;
long-term partnerships.
But don't treat every party as a mandatory part of the program. Choose those side events where there will actually be partners who are interested in your team.
How to organize team expenses during a conference
An international conference is not just about the cost of a ticket to the event itself.
The trip budget includes airfare, accommodation, local transportation, car rental, conference tickets, online services, and representational expenses during meetings with partners.
For such payments, the team can use cardsPay2.House
One of the key advantages is the ability to top up your account inUSDT (TRC20), and then distribute the funds between the team's cards. This is convenient for teams that work with cryptocurrency and want to use one service to top up their balance and pay for operating expenses.
With cardsPay2.HouseYou can pay for accommodation reservations on Booking, airline tickets, conference tickets, transportation, online services, and other current expenses during a business trip.
It is convenient to use separate cards for different employees or expense categories - this makes it easier to distribute the travel budget and control the team's payments.
Owner and Team Lead Checklist: How to Get the Most Out of Your Trip
1-2 weeks before the conference
Install the official conference app, register on the B2B platform, or join the official networking chat.
Schedule meetings with priority partners in advance. 15-20 minutes is usually enough for an initial conversation.
Prepare a short team presentation
In a few slides or even a note on your phone, capture:
main traffic sources;
priority verticals;
key GEOs;
approximate volumes;
the type of partners you are looking for.
Plan the financial part
Think about payment in advance:
airline tickets;
hotel;
transfers;
car rental;
conference tickets;
entertainment expenses.
Fix the arrangements immediately
After each important meeting, make a short note or send a follow-up to the interlocutor on Telegram or another work messenger.
Record what exactly was discussed and what the next step should be.
Follow up after the conference
In the first three days after your return, write to your most important new contacts.
The longer you delay follow-up, the lower the likelihood that the agreement will move to a specific test or partnership.
Common mistakes when attending conferences
Chaotic bypass of stands
Trying to communicate with absolutely all exhibitors quickly leads to fatigue and dozens of contacts without a clear next step.
Lack of specific request
"Tell me what you have" works worse than a specific request:
"We are looking for direct advertisers under LATAM, we work with such and such a source and can scale this GEO."
Ignoring side events
Abandoning all evening formats can deprive the team of some of the useful networking.
But there is no point in attending every event in a row - focus on the list of participants and potential partners.
Lack of focus
Don't try to find partners for all GEOs and verticals in two days.
Before the conference, identify 2-3 main tasks and build a meeting schedule around them.
FAQ
Should a beginner go to a major European conference?
Yes, if there is a clear goal.
For the first trip, the result may not be a large contract, but an understanding of the market, getting to know account and affiliate managers, and forming your own partner base.
It is not necessary to buy the most expensive VIP package for the first conference.
How to get to a closed side event if you don't have an invitation?
Follow the announcements of partner networks, operators, and technological services.
Some events have a separate registration form, while others are available only by personal invitation.
If you already work with a company, you can ask your manager in advance if they are holding their own side event and if you can add your team to the guest list.
Which conference to choose?
For classic affiliate and e-commerce, you should look atPI LIVEandConversion Forum.
For mobile apps, games, casual games and gamedev -WN CyprusandWN Yerevan.
For LATAM -AffPapa CancunandLeague Summit.
For large-scale international B2B networking -SBC SummitandSiGMA World.
For Central Asia, India and APAC - series eventsSPiCE.
For Tier-1 Northern Europe -SNGS.
The main criterion is not the scale of the conference itself, but the concentration of precisely those operators, advertisers, affiliate partners, technology and payment companies that your team needs.
