SPiCE International 2026

SPiCE International 2026 is the third annual edition of this Eventus International conference. It takes place on 12 and 13 November at Shangri-La Mactan, a resort hotel on Mactan Island in Cebu, the Philippines. Eventus pitches it as a buying-and-selling event: operators come to look at products, while suppliers come to learn how procurement, localisation and market entry work across Asia. The organiser's outline names esports, social and creator-led formats, AI and prediction markets as the growth areas, set against operator pressure on acquisition costs, localisation, compliance and infrastructure upgrades. Payments, investment and new business models are also on the list. The public agenda shows only the timetable; Eventus sends the full session list on request. Day one opens with registration at noon and a networking lunch at which the expo floor opens, followed by afternoon conference sessions and the SPiCE International Eventus Awards with a welcome evening. Day two runs from morning registration to a 17:00 close, with farewell drinks afterwards. Named speakers include Chris Johnson, chief marketing officer of AFFILI PH, Evan Spytma of Casino Plus, Rhaymond Torres from the regulatory compliance team at Okada Manila, Crystal Nadal of Tom Horn Gaming and the lawyer Anna Katrina Rodriguez. Eventus does not publish a headcount. It describes the audience as 35% operators, 25% suppliers, 20% affiliates and 10% each from payments and regulators, and says nine in ten attendees are decision-makers. There are no free passes. The Standard Delegate Pass costs EUR 545, or EUR 445 for returning attendees; Premium costs EUR 745 and adds networking drinks and a logo in event mailers; VIP costs EUR 1,045 and adds reserved seating and an optional roll-up banner on the floor. With a fifth of the declared audience in affiliation, the event is most relevant to affiliates who work the Philippine market or want operator contacts in Southeast Asia. The local focus shows in the speaker list, which leans towards Manila operators, independent gaming consultants and regional suppliers rather than global brands.
