Why Attend Global Game Connect 2027
Unlike many European iGaming conferences, GGC focuses on one of the fastest-growing regions in the industry. The event offers direct access to South Asian operators, payment providers, affiliate businesses, and technology vendors while bringing together international companies looking to expand into emerging markets. For businesses interested in Sri Lanka, India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan, and neighboring countries, GGC provides a concentrated networking environment that would otherwise require multiple business trips.
Why Colombo
Colombo is increasingly being used as a meeting point for businesses operating across South Asia, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East. Its location and growing international connectivity make it a practical destination for regional business events.
Tickets and Participation
Registration is now open for both attendees and exhibitors. Attendees can register for conference passes, while exhibitors and sponsors can request customized participation packages. Companies interested in exhibiting or sponsoring the event can contact the organizers directly for package details and booth availability.
If you're planning to enter new markets after the conference, the 3S.INFO glossary explains key concepts such as how GEO targeting works in iGaming, how to choose traffic sources for different regions, and what payment models affiliates should know about.

Register for Global Game Connect 2027
In March 2026, the new Cinnamon Life complex in Colombo hosted Global Game Connect 2026. The conference brought together iGaming executives, operators, payment providers, and compliance experts from Asia, Europe, and the Middle East.
The program included two days of exhibition and conference sessions. Discussions covered trends in data, AI, payments, security, compliance, and market entry strategies. The evening's centerpiece was the GGC Awards ceremony, followed by the Elite Networking Night for Premium ticket holders — a closed-format event for top executives, speakers, and investors.
The main takeaway from attendees: Sri Lanka confirmed its position as a convenient venue for industry professionals from different regions, and the conference format successfully combined business content with high-quality networking.
