Strategic Move: Why Rome and Why November?
Bringing SiGMA World to Rome is a strategic decision placing the event in one of Europe’s most promising gaming markets. Italy is marking one year of its new online licensing regime, under which the number of license holders fell from roughly 90 to 46, and the country’s gambling advertising ban remains a major industry topic on the conference program. According to SiGMA News, Italy’s 2027 budget targets €720 million in gambling revenue, with details of the measures yet to be announced.
Fiera Roma is one of Europe’s largest exhibition centers, featuring 10 modern, column-free pavilions totaling around 150,000 sqm of indoor space and capable of hosting up to 60,000 participants. It is less than 5 km from Fiumicino Airport (FCO), with the FL1 train connecting the airport directly to Fiera Roma station.
The event is supported by international organizations and regulators including Euromat, IAGA, IBIA, IMGL, IGSA, and AGCC, alongside leading industry sponsors.
Insider Tip: Many key deals are made during evening events. Make sure to allocate time for informal networking. The agenda includes a welcome reception, iGathering networking cocktails (by invitation), award ceremonies, and the Mingle AGS Rome party.

Strategic Move: Why Malta and Why May?
Moving SiGMA Europe to May 2027 is a strategic decision, allowing the global iGaming community to enjoy the mild Mediterranean climate just as the industry calendar enters its most active phase. This spring timing offers a rare chance to avoid the peak tourist season and see Malta in its prime.
Malta International Airport (MIA) has expanded its network to a record 109 direct destinations, making travel convenient and accessible for attendees worldwide. Exhibition opening times have been moved to 10:00 AM, and the event's return to the renovated MFCC places delegates closer to St. Julian's—the hub of the island's best hotels and the Portomaso casino, which will host the SiGMA Poker Tour.
Malta joins eight strategically important cities hosting SiGMA summits: Dubai, São Paulo, Manila, Cape Town, Mexico City, Rome, and Bangkok.
Insider Tip: Don't miss the SiGMA Poker Tour at Portomaso Casino and the C-Level Golf Tournament—prime venues for informal networking and relationship building.
