TES Affiliate Conference Prague 2025 is one of the best places to meet partners and learn what’s working now. The event takes place September 12–15, 2025 in Prague, Czech Republic, at the Vienna House by Wyndham Diplomat Prague (Evropská 15, Prague 160 41).
This guide explains what TES is, who should go, what to expect each day, and how to get the most value from the trip. It’s written in clear, easy English so you can skim, plan, and book with confidence.
What is TES and why does it matter?
TES Affiliate Conference (formerly “The European Summit”) is a long-running conference for people who make money online through partnerships, performance marketing, and digital products. Over the years it has welcomed affiliates, media buyers, networks, SaaS tools, payment and fraud-prevention companies, iGaming brands, crypto/fintech offers, dating and creator platforms, and more. The event’s spirit is simple and practical: Create, Collaborate, Convert—meet people, test ideas, and turn conversations into deals.
TES started back in 2009 and grew from a focused niche meetup into a broad, global gathering for the affiliate industry. Today, it’s known for hands-on sessions, strong networking, and a friendly vibe that makes it easy to talk to anyone.

What happens at TES?
TES Affiliate Conference Prague mixes content and connections. Expect:
- Talks and panels: real examples, current trends, and straight answers from operators.
- Workshops & masterclasses: smaller, practical sessions where you can ask questions and take notes for your next test.
- Speed networking & “meet market” moments: fast intros to dozens of people in a short time.
- Expo floor: walkable booths for tools, networks, and brands.
- Parties and informal meetups: sponsor mixers and after-hours gatherings where many deals actually begin.
- Event app (Whova): browse the agenda, message attendees, and book meetings before you land in Prague.
Different partners describe the 2025 program as four days of sessions plus lots of structured networking and themed parties—so plan for a busy (and fun) schedule.
The vibe: open, busy, and deal-focused
TES has a positive, “let’s talk” culture. People usually wear smart casual—think clean sneakers or loafers, jeans or chinos, a shirt or a neat tee, and a light jacket. You’ll see founders, affiliate team leads, media buyers, compliance folks, and product managers all swapping notes. If you’re new, don’t stress: it’s easy to start a conversation with “What traffic do you run?” or “Which GEOs are working for you this quarter?”
Hot topics you’ll hear in 2025 (and why they matter)
Here are themes you’ll likely see on stage at the TES Affiliate Conference and in hallway chats:
- AI for creatives and campaign ops
From ad copy and UGC scripts to creative testing, AI tools are speeding up work and helping small teams look big. The conversation will be about quality control, brand safety, and which parts you should (and shouldn’t) automate. - Privacy, tracking, and compliance
With cookies fading and platforms tightening rules, accurate attribution is harder. Expect practical tips on first-party data, server-to-server tracking, consent flows, and making compliance a competitive advantage. - Short-form video and UGC
Affiliates are building TikTok-style pipelines for many verticals. You’ll hear frameworks for recruiting creators, editing at scale, and protecting accounts. - Traffic source mix
Native, push/inbox, search, social, in-app, email—what works together, and how to budget tests. People will share real CPA/CAC ranges and creative angles (within the rules). - Vertical deep dives
iGaming and fintech keep evolving with regional regulations and payment preferences. Health, education, and subscription content remain strong in the right GEOs. - Fraud and brand safety
From fake leads to bot traffic, everyone wants less waste. Tools and workflows to block bad traffic and protect margins will be a big talking point.
These topics mirror the “Create, Collaborate, Convert” mindset and the hands-on style TES is known for.
How to prepare (so you get real ROI)
1) Set a simple goal.
Choose one main outcome: “find two new high-intent traffic sources,” “test a new GEO,” or “add one partner per week for Q4.” A clear goal drives better conversations.
2) Book meetings before you fly.
Use the event app to introduce yourself and schedule 15–20-minute chats between sessions. Short meetings keep your day moving and make follow-ups easier. (TES uses Whova for scheduling and messaging.)
3) Tighten your pitch.
Know your verticals, top GEOs, average volumes, and compliance posture. Bring a one-page PDF or deck (and a QR code) so people can remember you.
4) Pack smart.
Comfortable shoes, a power bank, breath mints, and a light, water-resistant jacket. Prague weather in mid-September can change fast.
5) Plan your expo route.
Mark booths you must visit, plus a few “wild cards” for new ideas. Leave some gaps for spontaneous chats—you’ll discover gold that way.
6) Be findable.
Keep your messaging app IDs in your badge lanyard or on a digital business card. A simple Calendly link or QR code helps people book you on the spot.
7) Follow up quickly.
Send a short note the same day: “Great to meet you—here’s the doc/case study. Let’s test X offer in Y GEO next week.” Momentum wins.

About the venue (and getting around)
The Vienna House by Wyndham Diplomat Prague is a large conference hotel with many meeting rooms, strong Wi-Fi, and quick access to public transit. It’s steps from the Dejvická metro (Line A), a short ride from the Old Town, and within walking distance of Prague Castle. If you’re coming from the airport, the 119 bus → Nádraží Veleslavín → Metro A → Dejvická route is simple and fast. Taxis and ride-hail work well too.
Because the building is purpose-built for events, it’s easy to find quiet corners for meetings during the day and then head out for dinner nearby. The neighborhood has cafés and restaurants within a few minutes’ walk, and you can reach the historic center in a few metro stops.
How to network without awkwardness
- Start with questions, not pitches. Ask about their traffic, GEOs, and current blockers.
- Trade value fast. Share one useful insight (a creative angle, a landing-page tweak, or a compliance tip). People remember helpful partners.
- Use clear next steps. “I’ll send you my top two offers and a tracking doc tonight.” Then actually send it.
- Keep notes. After each chat, jot three bullets: who they are, what they want, and your promise.
- Respect time. If energy drops, wrap up with a smile and a follow-up plan.
Mistakes to avoid
- Trying to do everything. You’ll burn out. Pick your “must-see” sessions and leave space for high-value meetings.
- Talking only to your friends. Great, say hi—then meet five new people.
- Hunting for the “perfect” offer. Test a few promising ones quickly. The winners show themselves.
- Ignoring compliance. Have your disclosures, tracking setup, and brand safety answers ready.
A quick word about Prague
Prague is beautiful and very walkable, with cobblestone streets, river views, and historic buildings. English is widely understood in the city center. The metro is clean and easy; Line A is your friend for the venue and the castle area. In September, evenings can be cool—bring a light layer. (The hotel site notes it’s ~12 km from the airport and close to public transit.)
Before you go: a 10-minute checklist
- Update your event-app profile and upload a friendly photo.
- Pre-book 8–12 meetings across two days.
- Prepare a one-page PDF and a shareable folder (case studies, rates, T&Cs).
- Set up tracking links or test budgets with your team.
- Pack business cards or NFC contact info.
- Confirm data-sharing rules with partners (privacy first).
- Plan one dinner for your best prospects.
- Arrange airport transport. Bus 119 + Metro A is the simplest low-cost route to Dejvická.
- Block time after the event for follow-ups.
- Sleep well—you’ll need the energy.
