Closing of SiGMA World 2026: Business Opportunities and Activities in Rome

SiGMA World 2026 celebrates its final day today at Fiera Roma, featuring an agenda that combines final exhibition activities, conferences, and workshops with sports competitions, networking gatherings, and the first independent edition of the SiGMA Italia Awards.

Final Day of Exhibition and Conferences at Fiera Roma

Commercial activity continues from 10:00 to 18:00 with the third and final day of the exhibition. Delegates can once again tour the nine halls, visit pending booths, and resume conversations initiated during the first days of the event. The organization positions this instance as an opportunity to advance negotiations and turn initial contacts into potential business agreements.

SoloAzar at SiGMA World

During the trade show, SoloAzar had the opportunity to connect with numerous companies in the sector. This year's event stands out for being much larger than last year's and for its flawless segmentation: each hall gathers companies with specific characteristics—such as payment solutions, affiliations, a dedicated Italian pavilion, and a start-up area—optimizing the visitor experience.

To facilitate attendee arrivals, the organization provided several free shuttle buses running along different routes, directly connecting various points of the city to the fairgrounds.

In parallel, the conference program runs from 11:00 to 18:00, with sessions distributed across five stages: Main Stage, Italy Stage, AGS Stage, AIBC Stage, and Global Finance Stage. The agenda includes thematic panels, presentations by specialists, and a new edition of the Startup Pitch, a competition where six companies present their projects before a jury. The day also includes the announcement of the winning venture.

Workshops, scheduled between 11:00 and 16:30, focus on expanding African markets and financial innovation in Europe. Highlights include a debate on building more robust regulatory frameworks for gambling in Africa, with participation from regulatory authorities and industry representatives. The session addresses issues such as licensing, anti-money laundering, illegal gambling, user protection, and cross-jurisdictional cooperation.

Grand Prix and Bloko Padel Tour

Sports programming also reaches its decisive stages. The SiGMA Grand Prix by SOFTSWISS, held throughout the three days of the exhibition, celebrates its final karting heats today. Each competition brings together six drivers in 20-minute sessions to record their fastest lap. The final heat begins at 17:10, followed by the awards ceremony at 17:30.

In addition to daily recognitions, the overall classification across the three days determines the winners of the main prizes: a Rolex for first place, an iPhone for second, and AirPods for third. The activity is open to all event ticket holders.

Held yesterday as part of SiGMA World in Rome, the Grand Final of the Bloko Padel Tour brought together the circuit's top players to compete for the 2026 titles, following tournaments held in Buenos Aires, Malta, Miami, and Mexico City.

Networking and Closing with the SiGMA Italia Awards

From 15:00 to 18:00, the Platinum VIP Lounge hosts this edition's final Networking Drinks session. The gathering is intended for Platinum ticket holders and speakers, offering a space to continue business conversations in a more relaxed atmosphere ahead of the evening activities.

The parallel agenda also includes the Satoshkin Meetup from 18:00 to 22:00, a gathering aimed at fintech professionals, payment solution providers, merchants, and other participants in the financial ecosystem. This activity is organized by an associated exhibitor rather than directly by the SiGMA team.

The institutional close of the day takes place with the SiGMA Italia Awards, held between 20:00 and midnight at the Corsie Sistine di Santo Spirito in Sassia. Dedicated specifically to the Italian gaming industry, the ceremony brings together market leaders to recognize sector achievements while combining high-level networking with entertainment and charitable activities. The event is fully booked and no longer accepting new registrations.

This edition marks the first celebration of the Italia Awards as an independent ceremony, with categories covering both the Italian market and its various segments, including land-based gaming, technology, content, and marketing.

With this final day, SiGMA World 2026 concludes four days of activity in Rome. The edition brought together the gaming, technology, financial markets, and affiliate marketing sectors in a single space, featuring an agenda that combined commercial exhibition, regulatory debates, innovation, competitions, and networking opportunities.
