NEXT.io Retreat LatAm 2026

The NEXT.io Retreat LatAm 2026 runs from 17 to 19 November 2026 at Secrets Maroma Beach Riviera Cancun, an all-inclusive resort on the coast near Playa del Carmen, in Quintana Roo, Mexico. NEXT.io, the media and events company behind the NEXT Summit series in Valletta and New York, also stages a European retreat in Cyprus. The LatAm edition is built for the Latin American gambling market. The format is closed and small. The organiser says each retreat hosts 100 invited delegates, split evenly between 50 operators and 50 suppliers and influencers, and that places are reserved for C-level executives. Discussions are held under the Chatham House Rule, so remarks can be used but not attributed. The days mix conference sessions in the morning with networking and leisure activities in the afternoon, with meals and drinks included under the resort's all-inclusive terms. Logistics are handled by the organiser. The retreat opens with a welcome reception on Tuesday 17 November and ends on Thursday 19 November; NEXT.io books delegates' rooms for the nights of 17 and 18 November and provides transfers from Cancun International Airport, about 20 kilometres away. Extra nights before or after can be arranged at a special rate. Operators apply for a pass through the website, while suppliers are directed to a partnership enquiry form; no prices are published. Past attendees listed on the official page include Caliente Interactive, Betcris, DraftKings, Novibet, KTO Group, Estrela Bet, Apuesta Total and Stake LatAm, a mix of Mexican, Brazilian, Peruvian and international brands. The Spanish-language FAQ still refers to a 2025 LatAm retreat at the same resort as the inaugural edition. As of 31 October 2026 neither the session topics nor the speakers for this year had been published. For affiliates the event is only partly relevant. Influencers count towards the supplier half of the guest list, but there is no separate affiliate route, and with 50 operator seats the main value is direct time with Latin American operator executives. AffPapa's Cancun conference follows the next week, on 23–25 November.
