01 — The Club

Not a conference.
A community.

Every major affiliate conference has a side event everyone remembers more than the main floor. AMU is that side event, built into a permanent, recurring institution.

01

The meetup is the excuse.

We show up at Affiliate World, Affiliate Summit, iGB, SiGMA. The AMU gathering is where the real conversations happen — smaller room, better people, no pitch decks required.

02

Operators only.

AMU is for the people who run the machine. Who know their numbers, carry the risk, and don't need permission. Not for spectators. Not for tourists of the industry.

03

Quiet competence over loud presence.

The operator doesn't announce — the results do. AMU keeps it tight: vetted access, real intel, no inflated speaker counts or badge-swiping crowds.

04

City-to-city continuity.

Bangkok to Budapest to NYC — familiar faces across borders. The network travels. Relationships that span years and continents, built in rooms of 40 to 120.

The useful gear.

The technical-honesty principle: real payout data, vetted partners, tested playbooks. Substance that earns the premium. No fluff.

Benchmark Data

Performance benchmarks by vertical and traffic source.

AMU members share anonymized EPC, CPA and CVR ranges across verticals — nutra, health, finance, insurance. Compiled quarterly. Only possible inside a vetted network where nobody is trying to sell you something.

🔒 Members only — Tier 02+
Partner Network

Vetted partners — no cold intros.

Every partner in the AMU network has been vouched for by at least two chapter members. When you get an introduction through AMU, the vetting is already done.

🔒 Members only — Tier 02+
Playbooks

Operator playbooks — tested, not theoretical.

Traffic source audits, creative frameworks, compliance checklists. Written by operators who run the campaigns, not by consultants who bill by the hour.

🔒 Members only — Tier 02+
06 — Editions

Limited. Dated.
From a real moment.

Each AMU event produces a limited edition — a physical artifact tied to that city, that gathering, that moment. Scarcity from a real standard, not a gimmick.

AWE Rome — Feb 2026
Rome Edition
Heavyweight tote + zine. Numbered. 60 copies. Distributed to verified attendees only. Documents the gathering: attendee list (opt-in), venue, notes from the room.
Available to attendees →

07 — About

The operator
behind AMU.

AMU founder
Rémi St-Maur — Founder, AMU

AMU was built because the best conversations at affiliate conferences always happened in the side room — never on the main stage.

After years of attending Affiliate World, Affiliate Summit and iGB as a media buyer and network operator, it became clear that the value wasn't in the keynotes. It was in the 40-person dinner the night before. The rooftop after the show. The hallway conversation that turned into a partnership.

AMU is the attempt to make that room permanent — to give it structure, continuity and membership, so it outlasts any single event and any single organizer.

The operator doesn't announce. The results announce. We don't chase attendee counts or sponsor logos. We build a room worth being in — and let the word spread from there.

XenTraffic operates the AMU platform and the member network. Every event is run by chapter hosts who are active operators in their market. The institution, not the personality.
