Grow your partnership programme with the people solving the same problems.
An invitation-only retreat for senior brand-side leaders across affiliate, partnerships, influencer and commerce.
Approved brand tickets are free and include the full programme, meals, and an overnight stay at Elcot Park.
Brand-side places are hosted, limited and subject to approval. Networks, platforms, publishers and selected commercial partners can enquire about sponsorship.
Built around the questions senior partnership teams are actually asking.
Affiliate and partnerships teams are under more pressure than ever. They're expected to grow efficiently, prove incrementality, diversify beyond the usual partner mix, and work out where AI actually adds value, all while budgets are scrutinised.
The Partnership Retreat gives senior brand leaders the space, people and structure to work through those questions in depth. This isn't another day of panels. It's a curated retreat for open discussion, practical ideas, and proper 2027 planning.
Hosted at The Retreat, Elcot Park, a stunning countryside hotel. Close enough to be easy, far enough away to feel like a reset.
