The biggest affiliate marketing minds from across the North, are gathering in Manchester to share insights, spark new ideas, and build connections that drive success. We’re absolutely over the moon that Don’t Panic Events is partnering with the brilliant David Prior and the Affiliate North team to make this happen!

Why This Partnership Has Us Buzzing

Affiliate North is set to be the North’s biggest affiliate event and as event specialists who live and breathe creating unforgettable experiences, we’re genuinely excited to contribute to something this special and community building.

This is a chance for our team to flex our creative muscles for an external client while staying true to what we do best. Whether it’s our marketing know-how, design flair, or event management expertise that we’ve honed through years of creating our own award ceremonies, we’re delivering our full toolkit to ensure Affiliate North is an experience that attendees will be talking about long after they’ve headed home.

Bringing Our A-Game to Manchester

Our experience as owners of some of the digital industry’s most prestigious awards programmes and ceremonies has taught us that when you get people together who are passionate about what they do, incredible things happen. The energy is infectious, the conversations are game-changing, and the connections formed can transform businesses. That’s exactly what Affiliate North is bringing to the region.

Our team has planned down to the last detail, combining our creative design sensibilities with robust event management to create something that feels both professional and genuinely welcoming. After all, the best networking happens when people feel comfortable, inspired, and excited to be there.

A Meeting of Minds

What makes this partnership so special is the shared vision. David and the Affiliate North team understand that bringing together affiliates, brands, publishers, influencers, agencies, content creators, and tech suppliers isn’t only about numbers, it’s more importantly about creating an environment where real learning happens, and genuine relationships are formed.

We’re particularly eager to see the speakers share their knowledge with sessions from the future of affiliate marketing to AI-powered performance marketing, and from social commerce to privacy considerations. These are the conversations that will shape the industry over the coming months and years.

What This Means for the Community

This partnership is about elevating the entire Northern affiliate and digital marketing community. By combining Affiliate North’s deep industry knowledge with Don’t Panic’s event expertise, we’re creating a platform where emerging affiliates can learn from established pros, where innovative brands can connect with creative publishers, and where the entire ecosystem can thrive.

Ready to Make This Happen

We won’t let anyone get in our way! From our marketing team who are sharing the message, to our design experts who know how to make every touchpoint memorable, to our event management specialists who ensure everything runs like clockwork, we’re bringing our full expertise to make Affiliate North an event that is going to set the standard for affiliate industry gatherings in the region.

We can’t wait to see what happens when the North’s affiliate marketing community comes together in Manchester. If you’re an affiliate marketer, brand, publisher, or anyone involved in performance marketing, this is going to be the event of the year.
