BiG Africa Summit 2026

The BiG Africa Summit, short for Betting & iGaming Africa Summit, is an annual conference and expo organised by Eventus International. The 12th edition took place from 16 to 19 February 2026 at The Grand Palm Hotel Casino Convention Resort in Gaborone, Botswana, and was aimed at African regulators, operators, suppliers, affiliates and investors. The four days opened with registration, networking drinks and a welcoming and awards evening on 16 February.

The conference looked at regional trade, market entry, responsible gambling and governance, with Namibia, Ethiopia and Botswana in focus. Awards categories included Ubuntu Leadership and Baobab Sustainability. An invitation-only dinner took place on 18 February, and a cultural excursion with a farewell dinner closed the summit on 19 February.
