A prominent events organizer, Clarion Events, has recently purchased Affiliate Summit, a leading name in affiliate marketing gatherings. Although the acquisition cost remains undisclosed, this strategic maneuver considerably strengthens Clarion’s position within the affiliate marketing sphere.
Consider Affiliate Summit a large-scale, multi-day assembly for all stakeholders in the field: affiliates pursuing collaborations, companies aiming for promotion, technology providers displaying their newest innovations, and naturally, the platforms that link them all. The event is recognized for its vibrant exhibition space and informative presentations on the constantly changing landscape of affiliate marketing.
Furthermore, this acquisition brings popular industry assets such as FeedFront publication, the GeekCast.fm audio program, the news platform ReveNews.com, and the highly esteemed yearly AffStat industry analysis under Clarion’s control.
A recognized individual in the affiliate marketing realm and co-creator of Affiliate Summit, Shawn Collins, conveyed enthusiasm regarding the acquisition, emphasizing the potential for development and expansion into fresh markets. He contends this merger will ultimately advantage both participants and vendors.
Alex Pratt, the leader of iGB Affiliate (Clarion’s internal affiliate marketing division), mirrored this sentiment, labeling it a “transformative event.” He perceives substantial worth in merging Affiliate Summit’s established standing with Clarion’s current assets, expertise, and successful history within the iGaming and financial sectors.
