SiGMA World 2026

SiGMA World 2026 is the flagship event of SiGMA Group, the organiser behind a network of regional gaming summits. This year it takes place at Fiera Roma in Rome from 2 to 5 November. The audience is broad and B2B: operators, suppliers, affiliates, regulators and investors are all part of the intended mix. For the Rome edition the organiser has placed three sister events in the same venue. AIBC covers AI, blockchain and emerging technology, FX World deals with financial markets and fintech, and AGS (Affiliate Grand Slam) is aimed at the affiliate marketing community. Each keeps its own programme and exhibition area. SiGMA's headline figures are 30,000 delegates, more than 1,200 sponsors and exhibitors, five conference stages with 550 speakers, four awards ceremonies and three startup pitch competitions. Monday 2 November is a lead-in day with arrivals, pre-registration, a welcome reception, a golf tour and the SiGMA Awards in the evening. The exhibition then runs from Tuesday to Thursday, with networking drinks each afternoon and the SiGMA Italia Awards on the closing night. Paid tickets come in three tiers. At the time of writing the sale prices were €414 for Standard, €941 for Premium and €1,088 for Platinum, with door prices of €525, €999 and €1,375. Standard covers the exhibition, conferences and workshops, while the dinners, drinks and parties are reserved for the two higher tiers. Affiliates and operators have a free registration route. Casino operators qualify for a complimentary Standard Operator Pass, and C-level executives are upgraded to Platinum. The part of the week most relevant to affiliates is the Affiliate Grand Slam stage, which has its own sessions on each exhibition day. The published agenda mixes iGaming topics, such as growing affiliate traffic beyond search and social, spreading risk across several GEOs and the economics of search arbitrage, with sessions on media buying, ecommerce, nutra and subscription offers. Casino and betting affiliates will get more from the week by picking sessions from the agenda in advance than by staying at one stage. The organiser describes the venue as eight minutes from Fiumicino airport, with direct trains from three Rome stations.
