Clarion Confirms New Features and Expanded Floor Space for iGB Affiliate 2026

Clarion Gaming has unveiled a range of new facilities and experiences for iGB Affiliate 2026, which will take place in Barcelona, Spain, in January.

A new addition for the 2026 event is the iGB Hangout, sponsored by bet365 partners. The space will feature live DJ sets, immersive brand activations, private meeting pods, complimentary drinks and on-site tattoo studios, creating a relaxed and social environment for attendees.

Complementing the Hangout is the iGB Oasis, an outdoor venue located in the Sky Garden, designed as a place for visitors to “relax, socialise, and soak up the show’s energy”, according to Clarion.

To further enhance networking opportunities, delegates will also be able to pre-book meetings via iGB Introducing, a new tool within the iGB Affiliate app that allows visitors to arrange meetings on the show floor in advance. A dedicated VIP Lounge will also be available throughout the event.

Clarion added that the 2026 edition of iGB Affiliate — the sister show to ICE — will span more than 18,000 square metres, representing a 20 per cent increase on 2025 and nearly double the event’s footprint in 2022, which stood at 9,153 square metres.

Naomi Barton, Portfolio Director at Clarion Gaming, said: 

"iGB Affiliate Barcelona has earned a reputation for being the ultimate iGaming affiliate event for affiliates, operators and industry leaders.

“The growth of the show, which is over 20 per cent larger year on year, has been achieved by listening to what the industry wants and wherever possible exceeding its expectations.

“We are making our biggest investment on record to deliver what the international community has requested, which is more and improved opportunities to network with colleagues and partners which we have been delighted to deliver.”
