AffPapa Conference returns to Cancun in November

• The second edition of the AffPapa Conference Cancun is confirmed for November 23–25, 2026.
• More than 600 delegates are expected, split between affiliates, operators and B2B providers.
• The event targets the Latin American iGaming market with an affiliate-led three-day program.

AffPapa is bringing its affiliate-focused conference back to Cancun, Mexico, for a second edition on November 23–25, 2026.

The event debuted in 2025 as the organizer’s first iGaming conference staged in Mexico, and the AffPapa team is targeting more than 600 delegates for this year’s return. Registration is currently open via the event’s official website.

Three days in Cancun

The program spans three days, combining a formal conference with extended evening networking. Planned sessions include panel discussions on Latin American market trends, strategies and growth opportunities, alongside structured one-to-one business meetings designed to connect affiliates directly with operators.

Evening networking runs throughout the conference as a less formal complement to the daytime schedule. The late November dates were chosen with travel logistics in mind. Cancun’s Atlantic hurricane season typically closes before the end of October, and organizers say the timing allows delegates to combine the conference with a short end-of-year break.

The expected audience is split 40% affiliates, 40% operators, and 20% B2B providers. Organizers say the composition is designed to keep affiliates at the center of programming, rather than as a secondary audience behind operators and suppliers.

Levon Nikoghosyan, Founder & CEO of AffPapa, said:

“Our second edition of AffPapa Conference Cancun is going to be an incredible three days for the LatAm iGaming community. Of course, with Cancun as the backdrop, there’ll be plenty of sun and a little downtime too. We’re looking forward to making it another standout edition of AffPapa Conference!”

Conference and rebrand

AffPapa Conference Cancun was previously organized under the iGaming Club Conference umbrella. The 2025 debut was called the iGaming Club Conference Cancun. The rebrand shows AffPapa’s decision to consolidate its main conference series under a single name, with iGaming Club now reserved for smaller networking side events held around larger industry gatherings.

The Cancun conference sits within an expanding circuit. The Madrid edition drew more than 1,100 participants across three days in May 2026, the largest single edition the brand has staged. Cancun serves as the Latin American counterpart, targeted at regional affiliates and operators rather than the broader international audience Madrid attracts.

The AffPapa directory connects more than 2,300 affiliates with over 300 operators worldwide. Its conference series, iGaming Awards program, and iGaming Club networking events all sit alongside that directory function.

Mexico’s growing draw

Mexico continues to attract operator and affiliate interest as one of Latin America’s most closely watched iGaming markets.

International businesses are tracking the country’s developing regulatory landscape ahead of any further consolidation, and dedicated regional events are increasingly part of that commercial groundwork.

Mexico’s iGaming sector has drawn a growing conference calendar in 2026, reflecting wider industry appetite for Latin American market access. For affiliates specifically, the Cancun conference provides a dedicated regional forum as Latin America becomes a primary expansion target for international operators.
