SiGMA World brings together global gaming, technology, finance and affiliate communities
Networking remains a central part of the event

SiGMA World returns to Rome from 02–05 November 2026, bringing together the global gaming, technology, finance and affiliate communities for four days of business, networking, thought leadership and innovation at Fiera Roma. As the flagship SiGMA event, this year’s edition is set to deliver an expanded international meeting point for the industries shaping the future of digital entertainment and emerging technology.

With regional SiGMA events from across the world feeding into the flagship gathering, SiGMA World 2026 is designed to connect established operators and suppliers with investors, entrepreneurs, regulators, technology leaders, affiliates and emerging businesses from across the international market.

Four industries, one global meeting point

This year’s event brings four major conferences together under one roof, with SiGMA World joined by AIBC, FX World and AGS. The combined programme creates a broader environment for cross-industry conversations spanning gaming, artificial intelligence, blockchain, financial markets, affiliates and emerging technologies.

Across the four days, attendees can move between exhibition floors, conference stages, networking spaces and specialist sessions, creating opportunities to discover new products, meet potential partners and engage with senior decision-makers from multiple sectors.

The extent of the event also signifies the growing interdependence of these sectors. Technology continues to transform the gaming sector, financial services advance by converging with digital ecosystems, and the spheres of artificial intelligence and blockchain give rise to new possibilities for business in already existing and emerging markets.

An exhibition built for business

The exhibition floor will bring together a broad mix of established companies, innovative startups and specialist providers showcasing the latest products and services across the four event brands.

Confirmed exhibitors and industry names include major players such as XM.com, eToro, ATFX, Plus500 and Finery Markets within FX World, alongside leading gaming, technology, affiliate and blockchain companies participating across the wider event. 

For attendees, the exhibition provides a central hub for discovering new solutions, exploring commercial opportunities and meeting companies operating across different areas of the digital economy. 

The event will also place a strong emphasis on startups and emerging businesses, providing entrepreneurs with opportunities to showcase their products, connect with investors and gain exposure to an international audience.

Thought leadership across four stages

The conference programme will bring together senior executives, founders, investors, regulators and technology specialists to discuss the issues shaping their respective industries.

Sessions will explore subjects including the future of regulated gaming, artificial intelligence, autonomous finance, blockchain, digital assets, cross-border payments, emerging technologies and the evolving global regulatory landscape. 

One of the keynote speakers at the event is famous futurist and writer Brett King, who will talk about autonomous banks and the changing financial services in a more intelligent digital environment. The programme is designed to look beyond individual sectors, with discussions reflecting the growing overlap between technology, finance, gaming and digital innovation.

Networking beyond the exhibition floor

Networking remains a central part of SiGMA World, with a programme of receptions, dinners, meetings and specialist gatherings providing opportunities to continue conversations away from the conference stages.

Attendees can expect a range of side events throughout the week, creating additional opportunities to connect with industry leaders, investors, entrepreneurs and fellow delegates in more informal settings.

From structured business meetings to evening networking events, the programme is designed to make the most of Rome as an international meeting point while giving attendees multiple ways to build meaningful business relationships.

A global audience in Rome

SiGMA World 2026 is expected to attract more than 30,000 delegates, reinforcing its position as a major meeting point for the international gaming and emerging technology communities. The event brings together professionals from across established and emerging markets, creating an environment where ideas, partnerships and commercial opportunities can move between regions and sectors.

The event offers an opportunity for rising businesses interested in international expansion by providing access to a distinct audience of decision-makers and potential partners. It also gives guests the chance to keep in touch with happenings, technologies, and businesses that carve the next stage of the industry.

Four days of opportunity

Taking place from 02–05 November at Fiera Roma, SiGMA World 2026 will combine exhibitions, conferences, networking, startup activity and specialist events into one large-scale international gathering. 

With four major event brands coming together, an extensive speaker programme, a global exhibitor base and a packed calendar of networking opportunities, Rome is set to become the meeting point for professionals looking to connect, learn and explore what comes next.
