About the event
Rakuten Optimism 2027 is the annual North American event of Rakuten Advertising, held on April 26–28, 2027 at the Arizona Biltmore in Phoenix. It brings together over 1,000 marketers across retail, finance and travel and is positioned as a premier networking opportunity for anyone connected to its affiliate ecosystem — advertisers, publishers, agencies and partners.
The company runs one of the large affiliate networks alongside influencer marketing, media and audience products, so the event centres on performance partnerships rather than payments. It should not be confused with Rakuten's consumer events in Japan.
Who should attend
Payment and checkout providers that work with e-commerce, financial services and travel brands, and fintech advertisers that grow through affiliate and cashback partnerships. It is a chance to meet merchant-side marketing leaders and the publishers that drive their traffic.
Tickets and access
Attendance is aimed at the network's clients and partners; details and sponsorship options are available from the organiser's events page.
