FAQ: iGaming Conferences 2026
What are the biggest iGaming conferences in 2026?
The largest events in 2026 include ICE Gaming Barcelona, iGB Affiliate, SiGMA Asia, SiGMA Europe (Rome, TBC), SBC Summit Lisbon, NEXT.io Valletta, and G2E Asia. These attract the biggest operators, affiliates, and providers worldwide.
Which iGaming conference is best for affiliate managers?
For affiliate managers, the top choices are iGB Affiliate, SiGMA events across Europe, Asia, and LATAM, and NEXT.io summits. These events focus heavily on partnerships, acquisition, and performance marketing.
Which events should game providers attend?
Game studios typically benefit most from ICE Barcelona, SiGMA Europe, SBC Summit Lisbon, and G2E events. These expos allow providers to meet operators, aggregators, and platform partners.
Are there beginner-friendly iGaming conferences?
Yes. Events like iGaming Club meetups, HIPTHER summits, and iGaming Academy virtual trainings are accessible for newcomers. They offer smaller environments and structured learning resources.
Why should I attend iGaming conferences?
Conferences help you expand your network, meet partners face-to-face, explore new markets, learn regulations, and stay updated on industry trends. Many major deals in iGaming start with in-person conversations.
How do I choose which iGaming conference to attend?
Choose events based on your role and goals. Affiliates should focus on iGB and SiGMA; operators should consider SBC and ICE; providers should join G2E and SBC; regulatory teams should attend NCLGS or LotteryCX.
Tips: how to get the most out of iGaming conferences
- Book meetings in advance: most valuable conversations happen in pre-scheduled 1:1s.
- Choose events that match your goals: affiliates, operators, providers, or regulators.
- Follow up properly: conferences create leads, but relationships are built after the event.
- Combine learning and networking: panels and workshops give you context, networking gives you deals.
