AffPapa Conference Cancun — November 23-25, 2026 in Cancun, Mexico. The first iGaming conference in Mexico, returning for its second edition with 400+ expected attendees. Focus: Latin American iGaming market. November timing intentional — Cancun's rainy season ends, making it an ideal networking + destination event.
The Cancun conference is more intimate than Madrid — better for deep 1-on-1 relationship building. Focus on LATAM operators, emerging market affiliates and crypto-native brands expanding into Brazil, Mexico and Colombia.
