Before SiGMA Asia 2026 even opens its doors, the city lights up on the 31st of May at Uma Nota in Manila, where JVD will host a pre-party designed to set the entire week in motion from the very first beat.
This evening will bring together individuals from around the world who work in gaming, technology, and the investment industry for a unique opening event in one of the city’s most exciting places.
Manila’s opening night energy
This serves as the starting point of SiGMA Asia 2026. The pre-party aims to provide a high-energy networking environment where all the major players in the industry can connect in a more informal yet executive setting before the conference’s formal agenda begins.
The pre-party is open to any ticket holder; however, there will be structured tiers of experience. Silver and Gold VIP guests will be able to enjoy all the main areas, while Platinum ticket-holders will have a full access experience and preferential networking throughout the evening.
DJ Soda takes centre stage
Headlining the night is internationally acclaimed DJ Soda, one of the most recognisable electronic music artists in Asia. Hailing from South Korea, she has built a strong following through her explosive festival/club performances, viral videos, and a unique sound that blends house music with EDM.
DJ Soda performs all over the world on major stages throughout Asia, Europe, and North America, creating an entire experience with each performance. You can expect high-energy visuals, unforgettable music, and an extremely energetic performance that will keep the audience engaged until the very end of the event!
Venue vibes and VIP flow
Uma Nota Manila is a contemporary Pan-Asian designed venue featuring an exciting nightlife experience. Uma Nota Manila will transform into a high-energy social hub with dedicated networking and entertainment areas.
The main SiGMA area serves as the central meeting point for guests. At the same time, VIP attendees will also have access to The Backroom, offering a more exclusive bar-led experience with limited capacity for a more refined networking environment.
Countdown to SiGMA Asia
Manila will host SiGMA Asia from May 31 to June 3, 2026. The event will unite 16,000 delegates, exhibitors, and industry professionals from around the world, representing the full breadth of the gaming ecosystem. The pre-party marks the start of the journey to SiGMA Asia.
Secure your access
Platinum tickets grant you VIP access to SiGMA Asia’s official pre-party, offering the most exclusive and luxurious way to celebrate Manila’s opening night.
While all ticket holders have Silver access, if you are looking to upgrade your experience, VIP Gold access grants entry to an exclusive section of the venue, with added networking opportunities in a more sophisticated bar-like setting.
The two ticket types provide access to the overall event experience; however, Platinum is the best option for high-level and senior stakeholders who want a more exclusive environment and priority access to engage throughout the night.
