The UK Affiliate Marketing sector is set to get its very own industry specific Conference, Exhibition and Awards with the launch of a4uexpo in October.
The two day event, which will take place at ExCeL London from October 25 - 26, is being co-ordinated by affiliates4u, founders of the widely-respected a4uForum, the UK’s No.1 portal for Affiliate Marketing.
Building on a4uForum’s successful series of Networking events, a4uexpo will provide a more structured and formal educational Conference programme as well as a carefully-selected Exhibition and dedicated Awards Ceremony.
Matthew Wood, founder of affiliates4u, says:
a4uForum has been part of the Affiliate Marketing scene for the past seven years and has been a pivotal part of the sector, providing a focal point for affiliates to meet, share experience and do business together
During this time, the industry has also seen significant development & growth and now worth over £2bn, it is absolutely the right time for this channel to have its very own professional, educational event.
a4uexpo will represent the only UK-based affiliate specific event and aims to bring together all those working in or around the sector in a professional environment to hear about & debate the key issues currently facing the channel.
A full Conference programme will run over both days, with a collection of top speakers working across the sector, as well as specific Workshop sessions.
The a4uexpo Exhibition will run alongside the Conference programme with 50 relevant businesses having the opportunity to showcase their services, and on the evening of October 25, a4uexpo will also hold its own inaugural Affiliate Awards which will spotlight the very best Affiliates, Agencies, Networks, Suppliers and most importantly, the innovation currently found in the sector at present.
Attendance at a4uexpo will include access to all of the Conference and Workshop sessions, the Exhibition and Awards Ceremony, as well as complimentary refreshments and lunches on both days. Those interested in attending should register via www.a4uexpo.com

The price of this trip to affiliates is just £29.38, for that you get a trip to Amsterdam and a full day of networking.
There are over 100 people already signed up to go and it seems for once that there will be a large number of affiliates compared to merchants and networks at the event.
The day sponsored by Tradedoubler will start off with keynote speaker Martin Murray, CEO of Interactive Return who will be discussing organic and paid search.


The brain child of James Little after reading Frosite’s blog talking about how most Affiliate events happen in London, the idea of Affiliate Dinner is to provide free listings to anyone wanting to run their own small affiliate event.AffiliateDinner would help to organise the dinner, advertise it and also deal with taking payments over the web if necessary.
James said:
The basis of the Dinners themselves is that they should be a low cost event for a small number of people allowing greater networking than at some of the larger events.
