TAP Air Portugal named official carrier for SBC Summit and Affiliate Leaders Summit

TAP Air Portugal has been appointed the official airline partner for both the SBC Summit and the co-located Affiliate Leaders Summit, bringing exclusive flight discounts to attendees travelling to Lisbon for the events.

Through the partnership, delegates can secure 10% off Economy Class fares and 15% off Business Class fares when booking return flights to Lisbon directly via the TAP Air Portugal website. The discount applies to journeys that include the official event dates, with the return leg required to take place within 10 days of the summit's conclusion. Standard fare conditions apply.

The agreement is designed to lower travel barriers for the international audience, reinforcing Lisbon's standing as a premier destination for global business gatherings. “We want every part of the journey to Lisbon to feel as seamless as possible,” said Paul Mills, Event Director at SBC. He added that the partnership is a natural extension of the company's commitment to improving the overall delegate experience.

Scheduled from 29 September to 1 October 2026 at Feira Internacional de Lisboa and the MEO Arena, the main SBC Summit will host 40,000 industry professionals from around the world. The event spans three days of conference sessions, networking, and an exhibition floor featuring more than 800 exhibitors and sponsors.

The Affiliate Leaders Summit, running alongside at the same venue, will gather 10,000 delegates from the affiliation and performance marketing ecosystem. It offers a dedicated conference stage, an affiliate-focused exhibition zone, and targeted networking opportunities for affiliates, operator acquisition teams, media buyers, SEO specialists, and suppliers.
