September 1, 2026 2 min read
There are so many affiliate conferences these days.
Huge venues with hundreds of speakers and a ton of business cards you will never look at again.
ANS Lisbon aims to function differently.
There’s no stage or speaker slots.
Just one night, one restaurant, and a room full of people who move the industry.

📅 DATE: September 29, 2026 📌 VENUE: Terrace Restaurant, Park of Nations, Lisbon, Portugal |
Great news for those of you who are already travelling to SBC Summit this week, as this will be an easy one to fit into your schedule.
Lisbon is bound to be full of affiliates and operators for you to network with in this event.
What Is ANS?
The Affiliate Networking Series (ANS) is a dinner meetup series hosted by Wintevents for affiliate marketers and ecommerce entrepreneurs.
The series visited Barcelona, Warsaw, London, Dubai, and Rome, so Lisbon is just one of its many stops.
You’ll be exposed to a small guest list in a nice restaurant, and hours of actual conversation instead of meeting at a packed expo floor.
It’s more like a dinner party where everyone happens to work in performance marketing.
What Happens at ANS Lisbon
Networking, Mostly
Which is the whole point of the event.
Previous editions of the event have allowed participants to meet new partners, affiliates, operators, and launch new projects and meet investors.
You get 4 to 5 hours to talk to people, not five minutes in a booth.
We’ve been to our fair share of expo floor events, and we have to say the ones where you actually sit down with someone are the ones that remain the most memorable and beneficial.
Food and Drinks
The venue is the Terrace Restaurant, where Eastern fusion menu meets open terrace in Lisbon’s Park of Nations district.
Inclusions are based on the ticket you bought.
Here’s what’s available:
- Affiliate Pass: Free for approved affiliates. Includes a welcome drink and access to the event.
- Bar Lover: €300. Unlimited premium bar all night, including a welcome drink, cold appetizers, beer, wine, soft drinks, premium spirits, and cocktails. No dinner.
- VIP: €450. Everything in Bar Lover, plus a full luxurious dinner and personalized service.
A Show and a Charity Auction
Of course, to keep the energy high, there will be some short performances in the evening.
Then comes the charity auction, which is already a tradition at every ANS event.
So far, the series has raised over $150,000 in support of Ukraine.
The Numbers
Past ANS events have pulled in a specific kind of crowd, not just anyone with a business card:
- 300+ expected guests
- 80+ companies
- 20+ countries represented
- 100+ business meetings happening in one night
Generally speaking, the attendees tend to be affiliates, operators, service providers, and C-level execs.
Fewer people, more meaningful conversations.
It’s all about the trade off.
Should You Go?
You don’t need speakers and packed expo hall to get a good event.
ANS Lisbon may be smaller and slower, but it’s built around actual conversations over dinner.
