MAC Affiliate Conferences

MAC Affiliate Conferences (also MAC Conferences) is the event team behind MAC, a three-day affiliate marketing and iGaming conference with an expo, talks, parties and private meetings. It is based in Moscow, was founded in 2017 and lists 1–10 employees on LinkedIn. Its founder and organiser is Vadim Korepov. It runs B2B conferences for affiliate networks, advertisers, media buyers, iGaming operators, services and infrastructure providers in affiliate marketing, iGaming, adtech, crypto and fintech.

MAC grew out of the event department of the affiliate network Leadbit. The first MAC took place in Moscow on March 30, 2017 as the Moscow Affiliate Conference, "brought to you by" Leadbit and the STM forum; the 2018 edition at Tesla Place was billed as "Leadbit presents". In 2021–2022 the MAC site said "Presented by Dats.Team": this Moscow group of companies listed MAC among its projects next to Leadbit, Shakes, Traffic Cardinal and DatsPush, and wrote that it had run MAC in Ukraine and India for several years. Leadbit was a diamond sponsor of MAC 2026. MAC is therefore a commercial event brand from one market player's ecosystem, not a neutral industry forum.

After Moscow (2020 and 2021) MAC moved to Yerevan, where Meridian Expo became its main venue. The organiser lists 3,500 attendees for 2024 and 4,350 for 2025; other estimates put 2024 at about 2,000, and MAC 2026 claimed 5,000+ attendees, 400+ stands and 200+ speakers. MAC 2027 runs May 17–19, 2027. The 2027 site names VENSON LTD, a private company registered in Cyprus in 2016 (HE 352364, formerly Shamoo Holding Limited), as its legal entity; a second terms page names Admac FZE LLC in Ajman, UAE.
