Our team recently attended the 2025Â Affiliate World Dubai (AW Dubai)Â conference. As one of the premier affiliate marketing conferences, Affiliate World is renowned for bringing together industry leaders and innovators across its events in Dubai, Europe, and Asia. With over 300 companies and 7,000 attendees, AW Dubai was an essential gathering for those in the affiliate and e-commerce marketing space.
Affiliate World has been growing exponentially since 2015, and this year’s event in Dubai did not disappoint. It’s provided another great opportunity for the PlatformPay.io team to connect with both current and potential clients, review our progress since the Christmas/New Year’s shopping rushes, and plan client strategies for the year to come.
Our team kicked off the conference early on Tuesday, February 25th, with a series of off-site meetings. Big thanks to the Waldorf Astoria DIFC for securing a meeting room for us during the duration of the event – where our strategic accounts team was able to engage privately with current clients, and discuss onboarding or another pressing questions from our new clients. Meanwhile, our Business Development team arranged meetings at the Dubai World Trade Center to connect with both old friends and referral partners.
Special thanks as well to Roxana and Cristina at AWSummit – for visiting us as well (as we are an Official Sponsor at their event in September of this year in Bucharest, Romania) – and it was a great opportunity to finally meet them, and for them to meet more of our team as well.
The day continued with a standout networking event: TTMeetup at Nas House. This event provided a great opportunity for our Business Development team to strengthen relationships with prospects, referral partners, and potential clients.
While that was underway, the rest of our team readied the booth for the next day. This year we were next to Google and knew we were in a high traffic area of the expo hall, so we were ready for the busy day to follow.
Wednesday and Thursday were brimming with activity as we engaged with a steady stream of prospective clients at our booth. The energy throughout the event was strong, thanks to the Affiliate World team’s excellent organization and execution.
At this year’s conference, a key theme emerged as many speakers discussed the increasing impact of AI-powered tools in the performance marketing space. This trend continues to reshape the industry, with examples such as automation, predictive analytics, and personalized customer experiences. PlatformPay.io has also recognized this shift and is ahead of the curve, leveraging AI and predictive modeling with our tailor-made subscription programs to help advertisers boost their bottom line.
We were honored to be admitted to the Affiliate World Conference Advisory Council – where we could meet with the event organizers, exchange ideas and feedback on the event itself. This is one of our favorite conferences to attend to date, the event staff is incredibly well organized, and we’re happy to be a part of it. We’ll definitely be back next year.
The event wrapped with a special event held by AWSummit at Miss Tess & Treehouse – where we met both current clients and old friends, and overall just had a great time to unwind before the trip home.
The PlatformPay.io team was honored to spend quality time with existing clients, as well as meet new partners in person for the first time. It’s always great to put a face to the name, and to really be able to speak in depth about each client’s respective business. We really try our best to allow enough time to really focus – so even though the event itself was just two days – our team stayed as planned for additional meetings to ensure it was as productive as possible. We handled client onboarding, technical questions, and strategic planning.
Overall the Affiliate World Dubai 2025 show was a tremendous success for PlatformPay.io, and we’re excited to return next year!
