The venue

You asked, we delivered. DealMaker Europe is moving to Convene Sancroft in the heart of St. Paul’s. With more space, a simple one-floor layout, and a central location, it’s the perfect setting to connect and grow.

The location is easily accessible via public transport and is in close proximity to the London Stock Exchange. The venue is close St. Paul’s, Bank, Moorgate, and Monument stations, and served by at least 7 bus routes. There is a nearby carpark at Smithfield Car Park West.

Sponsorship Testimonials

“…we left the event with nothing short of at least 10 hot client prospects and as a relatively new player to the affiliate industry, RevLifter achieved amazing brand awareness. We also enjoyed connecting with Rakuten employees at various seniority levels and from around the world. A job well done Rakuten and looking forward to future events!"
- Simon Bird, Co-Founder at RevLifter

"DealMaker Europe is a great place to meet up with publisher and advertiser prospects, as well as catching up with our Rakuten Advertising friends. We won business directly from attending the event last year so it was a no-brainer for us to be involved again! We're looking forward to it!"

- Drew Cameron, Sales Director, Hello Partner

“DealMaker is a unique experience that help you to connect with new potential partners and also strengthen your existing ones. What I liked most is to connect a face to my contact emails with whom I write on a regular basis in order to get a stronger connection based on trust.”
