Bucharest to Host 13th AWSummit

In September, AW Summit will host its 13th annual affiliate marketing conference. Set in Bucharest, affiliates, advertisers, monetization platforms and creators will come together from the 21st to the 23rd for a three-day conference covering a wide range of niches and industries. The summit will cover a range of topics, including Nutra, iGaming, eCommerce, crypto, and more.

Held at the Face Convention Center, the summit will feature workshops, keynote speeches, and a business area for companies to highlight their products. Tickets are already available online, with basic access costing €299 and the executive package costing €649.

One Summit, Many Topics

AWSummit is one of the leading affiliate marketing conferences in Bucharest, and one of its greatest upsides is the wide range of topics it covers. With over 2,000 attendees spanning multiple industries, the 2026 AW Summit in Romania offers a great opportunity for partnerships and knowledge exchanges across different fields.

While the primary goal of the event is networking, the summit organizers also scheduled plenty of keynote speeches with industry leaders sharing their thoughts and knowledge.

• By far the biggest panel will be for Nutra and eCommerce, where both the CEOs of Buygoods and MaxWeb will be speaking. Andrei Covaci and Andra Ionescu will go over the most practical strategies for affiliates to implement for higher success rates.
• Another panel affiliates will want to check out while at the AW Summit will be the Top 8 Affiliates Panel. Here, leading advertisers and networks will go over ways to optimize and scale affiliate businesses and how to overcome challenges that stem from different traffic sources.
• Digital commerce experts Roberto Saporito and Victor Romero will hold a payments panel on the third day, discussing the latest solutions, strategies, and challenges facing the online transaction industry.
• Right after that is the AI panel, which includes Notiscale founder Lucien Maman. The panel will highlight how content creators and affiliates can use AI for automation and personalization.

3000 Square Feet of Information

The event venue provides over 3000 square feet of space. While some of that goes to the various panels that will be organized, the lion’s share of the space is set up for the Business Area and Meet Market. The latter is a special event designed for fast networking, where participating companies exchange business cards and merchandise.

Meanwhile, the Business Area is full of dedicated stands where you can learn all about the companies and the services and products they offer. This will no doubt be the most crowded area when the summit opens to the public on the 22nd, making it an excellent place for each company to present their latest and greatest solutions.

A Variety of Attendees

While you might expect the Bucharest AW Summit to be dominated by one particular industry, that’s very much not the case. The skilled workforce and relatively low costs have made the city a hub for a variety of technical fields, which is reflected in the attendance of the 2026 summit. A quick look at the attendee breakdown shows a relatively even split across industries.

For anyone hoping for a bit of cross-industry exchange, the 2026 AW Summit looks to be an event you shouldn’t miss out on.

A Summit for Success

As new technologies enter the market and more regulations are being passed, it’s more important than ever to stay ahead of the knowledge curve and build connections.

The Bucharest AW Summit in September offers a great way to do that, opening the door for attendees to soak up new information and exchange knowledge with industry leaders.
