MAC Kyiv 2018 was a milestone not only for the affiliate marketing industry, but also for the WintEvents team, as it was the first time we acted as co-organizers of a large-scale conference. MAC Kyiv became one of the most memorable and high-profile events of the autumn — exactly as we had planned!
MAC Kyiv was an exclusive conference where top media buyers and webmasters from the affiliate industry shared first-hand insights into how to succeed and make money online. MAC in Ukraine was not just another conference in another city — it was the renowned Moscow Affiliate Conference, now with its own Kyiv Edition!
No affiliate conference in Kyiv had previously brought together more than 1,500 attendees, around 60 exhibition stands, and such a large number of international guests from around the world.
Every exhibition stand prepared something special for the guests. Mobytize treated visitors to traditional Ukrainian salo and gave away iPhones, ClickDealer brought a giant show sphere for photos, while DC Marketing impressed guests with exotic animals and Chewbacca roaming around the conference.
Money4Leads featured a living statue at their stand, Dream Singles used a touch of magic to collect business cards, and Welcome Partners decorated their stand with cash-themed elements and gave away valuable prizes. Business and networking at the exhibition continued at full speed throughout the entire day.
The conference also featured a range of additional fully equipped spaces designed for guests’ comfort, including charging stations, a gaming zone, a spacious lounge, the Diamond Zone, as well as dedicated bar and catering areas.
At 12:00, the conference stage opened. Speakers covered everything from the latest industry trends to detailed figures and real-life case studies. The program included an in-depth 30-minute Facebook breakdown and insights into the hottest trends in betting and gambling. The audience truly came alive during a Tony Robbins-style presentation by Yaroslav Aleksandra, who demonstrated how discipline — both in sports and in business — leads to real results.
