Feb 27, 2026: The European Affiliate Awards and the Bundesverband Digitale Wirtschaft (BVDW) have announced a strategic partnership for the 2026 edition of the European Affiliate Awards, taking place on 21 September 2026 in Berlin. This collaboration is specifically aimed at the members and extensive network of BVDW.
As part of the partnership, BVDW members will benefit from an exclusive ticket discount for the award show, with tickets available for EUR 99 instead of EUR 149. Ticket sales will start in April 2026. This makes attending one of Europe’s key affiliate marketing networking events even more accessible to professionals from the German digital industry.
European Affiliate Awards founder Sjef Kerkhofs comments on the partnership: “our event is focused on Europe. We visit a European tech capital each year. This year, we go to Berlin. When visiting a new country, it’s crucial to work together with the best possible local partner(s). BVDW is a key organization within the German digital landscape, so we’re very proud to be able to announce this partnership.”
BVDW is the leading trade association for the digital economy in Germany, representing companies across digital marketing, e-commerce, media, and technology. In addition, BVDW is the organizer of DMEXCO, Europe’s largest digital marketing and technology trade fair, which takes place just days later on 23–24 September in Cologne. Thanks to this convenient timing, attendees can travel directly from the award show in Berlin to Cologne to continue their week at DMEXCO. Together, the two events create a unique “affiliate and digital marketing week” in Germany, combining networking, inspiration, and business opportunities.
