At massive affiliate and iGaming conferences like MAC, you often end up wasting precious networking time on minor operational and logistical tasks. Finding a specific affiliate program’s booth, figuring out who is available to chat about your vertical, checking the speaker schedule, or looking up side events — these are small details, but they quickly eat up your day.
This year, the MAC organizers have simplified these tasks, saving attendees a significant amount of time. Instead of building a standalone app just for the conference, they’ve integrated all the necessary features directly into the Partnerkin app. Inside, you can find the right people, view the floor plan, schedule meetings, check the speaker lineup, explore side events, and discover other activities. While a few sections are still rolling out, they will be available very soon. Attendees will also be able to cast their votes for the MAC Awards right there in the app.
Let’s break down how it works.
The app is already available for download on the App Store and Google Play. You can find it by searching for "Partnerkin" or by scanning the official QR code. It’s highly recommended to download it in advance so you stay updated and don’t miss any crucial events.
Once installed, simply log into your Partnerkin account. If you’re already registered on the Partnerkin website, just use your existing login and password.
The MAC section is easily accessible via a dedicated button right in the center of the bottom menu. Tapping it opens the main conference screen, which houses all the core sections: Stories, Networking, Map, Speakers, Contests, Parties, a Yerevan City Guide, MAC Info, and MAC Awards Voting.
Additionally, there’s a convenient shortcut for MAC Awards voting located front and center at the top of the main screen.
As you can see, interacting with the app is completely hassle-free. The organizers made installation and navigation as intuitive as possible so attendees can jump straight to the section they need without wasting time hunting for basic features.
Let’s take a closer look at the attendance confirmation step. Once you enter the MAC ecosystem within the app, you’ll immediately see two buttons: "Buy Ticket" and "I'm Going."
The "Buy Ticket" button is for those who haven't secured their pass yet — it links directly to the ticketing section on the conference website.
The "I'm Going" button should only be tapped by those who have actually purchased a ticket and are attending the conference. Until you press this button, certain app features — like the "Networking" section — will remain hidden and inaccessible.
Important note: If you just downloaded the app to browse and see what’s inside, please don't hit "I'm Going" just out of curiosity. This feature is strictly for attendees who plan to use the networking tools, schedule meetings, and participate in MAC’s internal activities.
Another major update this year is that the organizers have moved the MAC Awards voting directly into the mobile app. This is an undeniable plus — you no longer have to hunt down a separate webpage or dig for a link in an article. We’ve covered exactly how to vote for the awards in detail in our article, “MAC AWARDS 2026: When Voting Starts and Who the Market Will Choose.”
Now, let's dive into the "Networking" section, which — in our humble opinion — is absolutely one of the most valuable tools to use in the lead-up to MAC. This section is divided into three tabs: "Discover," "Chats," and "Meetings." The "Discover" tab displays attendee cards featuring a photo, name, company, role, and a brief bio. You can skip or show interest in a person by swiping left or right (and you can undo your choice if needed). The logic is very reminiscent of good old Tinder.
If there’s a mutual match, the contact moves to your "Chats" tab. From there, you can communicate directly within the app, eliminating the need to switch over to Telegram or WhatsApp.
Beyond chatting, there’s the "Meetings" tab. Here, you can schedule a meeting after connecting with someone: simply select the attendee, set a date, choose a time, and add a topic for the conversation.
Think of this as your personal planner for the duration of the conference. The app specifically notes that meeting times should be set according to the Yerevan time zone.
Ultimately, this section solves two major headaches: it eliminates the tedious process of hunting down contacts across various messenger apps, and it drastically cuts down the time spent trying to randomly catch someone at their booth between meetings.
The "Map" section provides a detailed layout of all the booths at the Meridian Expo venue. The locations of the main stage and lounge areas are also clearly marked.
Right below the map, you’ll find a list of exhibiting companies. Each company card displays their logo, name, and booth number. To locate a specific booth, just tap the card — the app will open a dedicated page where that booth is highlighted on the overall floor plan.
You can also view a description of the company along with their booth number here.
It’s important to note that the map is static; it doesn't work like GPS navigation, so you can't plot a turn-by-step route to a specific booth. However, it still solves a crucial problem — it saves you time searching and helps you easily orient yourself within the massive venue.
Presentations are a core part of any major event, so the organizers have given them their own dedicated "Presentations" section. Inside, you can see the time, topic, speaker's photo, name, and company.
This is incredibly handy for planning your day. You know exactly when a specific talk is happening in advance, ensuring you don't accidentally schedule a meeting that overlaps with a session you want to attend.
Next up is the section listing all the side events. In the app interface, this is simply labeled "Parties." Inside, you'll find pre-parties, afterparties, tournaments, meetups, and exclusive events hosted by various companies.
The section is broken down by day and time, so you can easily check what’s happening before, during, and after the main conference. Each side-event card displays the day, time, organizer, description, and the location (if it’s already been announced).
You can buy or book a ticket for any side event directly within the app. Just open the event card and tap the "Get Ticket" button.
Side events are arguably just as important as the conference itself: while you might meet someone and exchange contacts at a booth, the informal atmosphere of a party is where you can continue the dialogue and discuss actual business details.
As for the "Contests" section, it serves as a centralized hub for all the giveaways and competitions companies are running at their booths. Attendees can find a contest that catches their eye, jump over to the map to see exactly where that booth is located, and go participate.
This was designed specifically so you don't miss out on anything cool — as so often happens at large expos. Usually, you read about one contest in a media outlet, hear about another on a blog, and only discover the third once you are physically at the venue. Having everything consolidated in one tab gives you the ability to strategically plan your route between side events, speaker sessions, and meetings.
Another engaging feature is the "Stories" section. The format is exactly what you’re used to on any social media platform. Here, the MAC team posts interesting and useful highlights from interviews and podcasts, which you can conveniently scroll through whenever you have a free moment.
The biggest advantage of in-app Stories is that you don't have to watch a full hour-long video, podcast, or voice chat — you get to see the most valuable and interesting moments instantly.
A dedicated "Yerevan" tile on the main screen links to an article curating the most interesting, iconic, and historical spots in the city. It’s a great resource for figuring out where to go, where to relax, where to get a great meal, and which historical parts of the city are absolute must-sees.
If this is your first time visiting Yerevan, this article is a required reading.
Finally, the "About MAC 26" section aggregates general information about the conference. You can see what the organizers have planned, what activities are surrounding the event, and how MAC is structured this year.
As mentioned earlier, the MAC-specific functionality is just one part of the broader Partnerkin app. When the conference is over, the app doesn't become useless; you can continue to use it actively.
On the home screen, you can read articles, discover the latest publications, check reviews, and browse content by category. There is a dedicated section for affiliate programs sorted by vertical: gambling, betting, CPA networks, finance, dating, native ad networks, binary options, mVAS, forex, adult, and more.
The "Services" section gathers tools for traffic arbitrage, marketing, payment solutions, and SEO. The cards display reviews, ratings, promo codes, and direct links to the companies' websites.
The "Hub" houses the app's major sections: affiliate programs, jobs, events, services, the knowledge base, and the MAC Awards.
In short, it offers everything available on the main website, but in a format that is much more convenient, accessible, and closer at hand.
The organizers have packed practically everything an attendee could need into one app. You can find the right people in advance, schedule meetings, view the floor plan, pick out side events, check out contests, and even quickly find a great place to relax or eat in Yerevan.
The most important takeaway: don’t forget to download the app before you travel, log into your account, and confirm your attendance before the conference begins.
