About this event
iGF East Africa 2026 took place on 14 and 15 October at Carnivore in Nairobi, Kenya. It is run by iGamingFuture and grew out of an iGF Supper Club, a dinner for a handful of the region's leading operators. The organiser describes it as a one-day, one-room event for people actively shaping the market, and access was by invitation only, with each request reviewed individually.
A welcome dinner and drinks reception on the evening of 14 October opened the event. The conference day on 15 October began with registration and an opening address from the event chairman, then moved through sessions on the shift from retail to online betting, crash games, sportsbook product, women in iGaming, affiliate marketing and traffic growth, and the balance between acquisition and retention. The last session looked at East African regulation and how to create competitive markets, followed by a VIP keynote, a networking lunch at Carnivore and a closing party. The iGF Supper Club ran that evening.
