Awin’s ThinkTank Global Series is returning to Sydney – and Commission Factory are bringing it home.
ThinkTank is Awin’s flagship global event series, connecting performance marketing leaders across markets worldwide. On 6 August 2026, Commission Factory, Awin’s APAC network, hosts the Sydney edition at Shangri-La Sydney, bringing together brand marketers, advertisers, and performance marketing leaders for a full day of insight, conversation, and connection.
The Official AfterHours follows from 5pm at The Squire’s Landing, because the best conversations rarely end when the sessions do.
“APAC is one of the most dynamic affiliate markets in the world right now. Commission Factory has been at the centre of that growth, and ThinkTank APAC is where we bring that energy into the room. We’re proud to be back,” said Lisa Maynard, vice president, marketing at Awin.

A global series with local expertise
ThinkTank runs across Awin’s key markets globally, and the Sydney edition brings that same standard to APAC, shaped by Commission Factory’s deep knowledge of the region.
Performance marketing in APAC is moving fast. Brands that treated affiliate as a secondary channel are rethinking that position. Publishers are more sophisticated. Attribution is sharper. And the pressure to prove ROI, not just report it, has never been higher.
Commission Factory is hosting ThinkTank APAC in the heart of Sydney because this is the conversation APAC needs right now. It’s a space for the people responsible for making performance marketing work to get in a room, compare notes, and leave with something they can actually use.
“What we’ve built in APAC is a network of people who are genuinely invested in each other’s growth. ThinkTank gives that network a room. There’s nothing quite like it,” said Zane McIntyre, CEO and founder, Commission Factory.
Built for marketers
If you’re responsible for affiliate, partnerships, or performance at a brand or agency, ThinkTank is designed around your challenges, not a vendor’s roadmap.
Sessions are practical. The conversations are off the record where it counts. And the room is filled with peers who are navigating the same questions you are.
Commission Factory connects more than 2500 brands with a publisher network exceeding 75,000+ across Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, and beyond, generating over AU$25 million in sales every month. As part of Awin, Commission Factory brings both local depth and global reach to everything it does. ThinkTank APAC is no different.
