iGB Affiliate Barcelona 2026: 20% bigger and built for business
Having overseen double-digit growth and a doubling of floorspace, Portfolio Director Naomi Barton previews this year’s iGB Affiliate Barcelona which is set to be the biggest and best edition of the event yet.

nprecedented demand for space has driven the show to expand into Halls 8 and 8.1 at Fira Gran Via Barcelona, marking a 20 per cent year-on-year increase and almost doubling the footprint of the 2022 edition. This double-digit growth reflects extraordinary demand from both long-standing partners and a new wave of exhibitors eager to be part of what has become the most influential growth platform in the iGaming affiliate sector.
iGB Affiliate 2026 will also feature its own exclusive registration situated at the north entrance of Fira Gran Via. Strategically positioned adjacent to a taxi rank and within walking distance of two metro stations, it will provide delegates with fast, seamless access to Barcelona-El Prat Airport, city hotels, and the cultural and hospitality heart of historic Barcelona.
NETWORKING TO DRIVE BUSINESS GROWTH
Affiliates, operators, and industry leaders will benefit from the most comprehensive and carefully curated suite of networking spaces ever delivered at the show. Working closely with industry stakeholders, we have created an ecosystem of tailored environments that maximise opportunity, facilitate collaboration, and drive business growth. This includes pre-bookable hosted meeting spaces, VIP Lounges, and vibrant social hubs that go far beyond traditional networking. From tattoo salons and live DJs to immersive brand experiences, meeting pods, and complimentary drinks, every element has been designed to encourage interaction and engagement. Among the standout new features for 2026 is the iGB Hangout, sponsored by Bet365 Partners. Positioned as the show’s ultimate social hub, it combines entertainment, relaxation, and business in one dynamic space. Complementing this is iGB Oasis, also new for 2026, an outdoor counterpart located in the Sky Garden where attendees can unwind, socialise, and absorb the show’s energy in a more relaxed setting.
For structured, results-driven networking, ‘iGB Introducing’, sponsored by Eshkol, offers a pre-bookable meeting space directly on the show floor. Using the event app, participants can schedule meetings in advance at dedicated tables, ensuring they connect with the right people, at the right time.
