Payments & fintech meetups 2026–2027

Payments and affiliate meetups

Smaller formats where the real networking happens: evening meetups, dinners, rooftop parties and side events around the big conferences. Most of them are free or invitation-based, run for a few hours and gather from a few dozen to several hundred people.

The busiest weeks are the conference weeks themselves. Around SiGMA World in Rome and Affiliate World Asia in Bangkok the affiliate community runs a whole series of meetups — ABC Connect, ANS, AWSensation, TTmeetup, ClickBid. In London the APMA and Merchant Payments Ecosystem host workshops and merchant circles; in Germany Oliro runs Affiliate NetworkxX and winter networking events.

Check the time and the access rules on each event page — some meetups need pre-registration or an invitation from the organiser. Larger events are in conferences.
