As regional conflicts and safety concerns escalate, and the UAE airports close, Affiliate World Global: Dubai Edition 2026 has been postponed to the spring of 2027.
Despite making huge investments in the Dubai 2026 show, including production, staffing, booths, and venues, the Affiliate World team has decided that, under the current circumstances, they are not able to responsibly conduct the event when safety and access are uncertain.
The Affiliate World team wrote:
“Our team has worked incredibly hard over the past year to deliver what we believed would have been an outstanding conference, and we’re genuinely heartbroken to have to postpone. That’s exactly why this decision is so painful and why it was not made lightly or for convenience. Thank you for your understanding and for prioritizing the safety of your team and our community.”
According to the Terms and Conditions, the purchased tickets, as well as booths and sponsorships, will be automatically transferred to the new dates, as the Affiliate World team will begin reaching out to participants to arrange the details.
Additionally, as a gesture of appreciation, exhibitors, sponsors, and ticket purchasers will all receive a $1,000 credit to use on the Affiliate World Forum.
After finalizing the venue and operational scheduling, the confirmed dates for the spring 2027 event will be shared.
