Short About Previous Years

SiGMA Asia has grown explosively since its inaugural Manila event in 2023, which attracted over 12,000 delegates. By 2024, attendance reached 17,000 from 154 countries, with 230 exhibitors and 69% decision-makers in the crowd. Post-event surveys showed 97% satisfaction and 91% planning to return. Game Providers (23%), Operators (19%), and Platform Providers (16%) formed the core attendee base. The 2025 edition further scaled, targeting 20,000 delegates with 350+ speakers and 3,800 operators — a 40% increase in expo footprint. PAGCOR partnered to host an exclusive retreat for 120 land-based operators alongside the main event.

The 2026 edition leverages this momentum, positioned at the heart of a fast-growing digital economy where regulatory frameworks are maturing and investment is accelerating. With PAGCOR's institutional backing, a proven track record of near-perfect attendee satisfaction, and the convergence of iGaming with blockchain and AI verticals, SiGMA Asia Manila 2026 is the definitive gateway for any company seeking to establish or expand its presence in the Asian gaming and tech market.
