About AffPapa Conference Cancun 2026
AffPapa Conference Cancun 2026 is the second Mexican edition of AffPapa's affiliate-led iGaming conference, returning to Cancun Center in the Hotel Zone after the 2025 debut that the organiser bills as the first iGaming conference in Mexico. Around 600 attendees are expected, with a target mix of 40% affiliates, 40% operators and 20% B2B providers. The programme runs over three days: welcome drinks on 23 November, then two conference days of panels on LatAm advertising rules, CPA vs revenue share, AI in player acquisition, regulation, SEO vs GEO, esports, influencer marketing, payments and market entry, plus a Google keynote. An exhibition area, speed-dating style structured networking, an esports zone and a pool party at Mandala Beach Club round out the event. The final evening (25 November) hosts the AffPapa iGaming Awards LATAM 2026, a separately ticketed gala with more than 20 categories covering affiliates, operators and B2B providers. The official hotel is Aloft Cancun, which connects directly to the venue.
