About this event

The Indian Gaming Tradeshow & Convention is the annual meeting of the Indian Gaming Association (IGA), serving tribal gaming operators, suppliers and tribal leaders in the United States. The 2026 edition took place from 30 March to 2 April at the San Diego Convention Center, with the tradeshow floor open on 1 and 2 April. The week started with a Monday session on prediction markets, Tuesday was given to full-day educational sessions, and Wednesday and Thursday centred on the show floor. IGA said attendance passed 7,000 and was on course to match or exceed 2025, and that booth sales were slightly up on the previous year. Tribal leaders also discussed the threat from prediction markets and wider economic conditions, including falling Canadian tourism. The 2027 edition is scheduled for 19 to 22 April at the Las Vegas Convention Center, and the organiser lists a return to San Diego in April 2028.
