9-12 March 2026
¡Vamos, affiliates! The biggest affiliate marketing event in Europe is landing in Marbella this March, and AffNinja is proud to announce our official media partnership with TES Affiliate Conferences.
We are on the ground, bringing you insider access, behind-the-scenes coverage, and an exclusive 10% discount that will make your trip to Spain even sweeter.
TES Prague 2025 shattered records with 2,000+ attendees, 150+ exhibitors, and 80+ speakers delivering actionable content. TES Marbella 2026 is set to surpass every expectation with more exhibitors, more side events, and more opportunities to strike gold in the affiliate space.
✨ Why TES Marbella 2026 Deserves Your Attention
TES Affiliate Conferences has operated since 2009, earning its reputation as the premier gathering for performance marketers working in adult entertainment, dating, AI companions, iGaming, and high-converting NSFW verticals. Here is why the Marbella edition stands out:
🏨 Complete Hotel Takeover – TES has secured a full buyout of the Hard Rock Hotel Marbella. Every room, every bar, every pool area becomes an extension of the conference floor. Networking does not stop when sessions end. It continues at breakfast, by the pool, and into the early morning hours.
🎤 70+ Sessions Across Four Days – From AI-powered marketing automation to dating media buying masterclasses, the content lineup addresses every challenge affiliates face in 2026. Sessions cover SEO strategies for LLMs, email deliverability for adult campaigns, payment processing solutions, and age verification compliance.
🤝 Meet Market Magic – Over 100 exhibitors set up shop in the Meet Market rooms, creating a speed-dating style environment where you can connect with networks, advertisers, and tech providers in rapid succession.
The AI Companion Gold Rush Is Real
The numbers do not lie. The AI girlfriend and companion app market has exploded, reaching USD 28.19 billion in 2024 with projections hitting USD 140 billion by 2030. Investment in AI companion startups surged to $299 million since 2022, a staggering jump from just $7 million in 2021.
The AI girlfriend app market alone is expected to grow by USD 1.87 billion between 2025 and 2029, at a compound annual growth rate of 10.91%.
TES Marbella features dedicated AI sessions including “From AI girlfriends to AI CAM sites & AI video avatars” by Sam Mann, co-founder of FLIRTcam.AI, who will break down how to create AI cam experiences and reveal user interaction patterns. For affiliates looking to enter this vertical, this is essential knowledge.
Speaker Highlights: Learn From the Best
The TES stage attracts speakers who actually run campaigns and build businesses, not just theorists:
AdversterX.com Sharing insights on hiring media buyers and building affiliate teams in 2026
CEO of MailSoar Revealing deliverability strategies for adult and affiliate email campaigns
Director at Canvas Marketing Solutions Demonstrating how to build real tools, automations, and growth systems using AI
Executive Director of The Age Verification Providers Association Providing updates on interoperable age verification options including EU AV App and OpenAge Initiative
The AffNinja Perspective: Our Take on TES
The AffNinja team has walked the floors of affiliate conferences across the globe. TES consistently delivers what others promise but fail to execute. The event attracts decision-makers, not just attendees looking for free swag.
The dating vertical alone serves over 300 million users worldwide, with conversion rates between 2% and 5% depending on traffic quality. The global affiliate marketing industry hit USD 37.3 billion in 2025, growing 14.7% year-over-year. TES is where you find the partners to capture your share of that growth.
What sets TES apart is its openness to verticals that other conferences shy away from. Adult, dating, AI companions, and NSFW content creators find a welcoming environment where business happens without judgment.
