As soon as delegates enter the SiGMA Asia expo at the SMX Convention Centre in Manila, the scale of the event becomes immediately clear. Packed aisles, custom-built stands and booths, networking lounges, live product demonstrations, and busy conference stages combine to create one of the most commercially active gaming environments in the industry.
Between 31 May and 3 June, SiGMA Asia 2026 will connect operators and affiliates, suppliers and regulators, payment processors, game studios, and emerging technology companies from across the region and around the world.
The major exhibitors
This year’s expo will be powered by some of the largest names in the industry, featuring large-format stands and experiential activities to drive heavy foot traffic throughout the summit. Popular exhibitors will include BetConstruct, Amusnet, Spribe, SoftGamings, Optimove, Altenar, SEON, Voluum, Smartico, Fast Track, and Trackdesk.
As you walk through the exhibit hall, you will see many different types of products/services related to gaming, including sportsbook technology/casino content, payment processing solutions, customer relationship management systems (CRMs), affiliate marketing tools, player engagement platforms, analytics software, cybersecurity solutions, and platform infrastructure.
With the growing evolution of Asian markets, both operators and affiliates are now looking for scalable technology, localisation tools, retention systems and alternative engagement models. The exhibit floor will reflect these needs, with companies showcasing solutions designed to drive growth in both emerging and regulated markets.
Technology and infrastructure providers are among the main areas of focus throughout the venue, especially for delegates seeking operational efficiencies, scalable platforms, acquisition technology, and data-driven player engagement solutions.
Affiliate-focused exhibitors are also expected to have a strong presence at the summit, with benefits for operators to maximize their regional reach through the presentation of performance marketing tools, analytics systems, traffic optimization technologies, and acquisition platforms.
More than exhibition stands
While the exhibition floor remains the centrepiece of the summit, the overall venue has been designed to encourage networking and movement throughout the event.
Networking lounges provide delegates with quieter spaces for meetings away from the high-energy expo aisles. At the same time, VIP areas are expected to host operators, investors, regulators, and C-level executives throughout the week.
The floor plan fosters natural movement of delegates amid meetings, conferences, product exhibitions, and hospitality areas. The setup allows casual conversation to start on the expo floor before proceeding to the lounges, coffee areas, or evening networking events.
For attendees planning packed schedules, the SiGMA Match platform also helps delegates arrange meetings in advance, making it easier to connect with relevant exhibitors and decision-makers.
The conference stages
At the heart of the venue sit the conference stages, where some of the industry’s biggest discussions take place.
This year’s agenda is expected to explore topics including artificial intelligence, payments, regulation, affiliate strategy, blockchain innovation, cybersecurity, emerging Asian markets, and player retention.
The summit includes the two stages, SiGMA and AIBC. The SiGMA stage will cover more general topics, while AIBC will address technology and trends in AI, blockchain, Web3, and other emerging technologies.
The delegates will be able to attend various panels and fireside chats with keynote speakers and engage with startup exhibitors, all of whom are industry leaders, regulators, founders, and tech experts shaping the growth of the gaming industry in Asia.
The stages are expected to remain highly active throughout the summit, with delegates moving constantly between educational sessions and business meetings across the floor.
A summit built around connection
What continues to set SiGMA Asia apart from many traditional exhibitions is its pace and accessibility. The summit has been designed to maximise interaction, whether through formal meetings, networking lounges, conference sessions, or evening events.
For first-time attendees, slowly exploring the floor often yields the best experience. Every aisle presents new suppliers, technologies, partnerships, and conversations.
For returning delegates, SiGMA Asia serves as a key industry checkpoint across the region. It offers a chance to reconnect with partners, discover emerging brands, monitor market trends, and identify where the Asian gaming sector is heading next.
From global exhibitors and startup innovators to packed conference stages and networking lounges, SiGMA Asia delivers an expo floor experience focused on visibility, business development, and strategic growth.
