Why SiGMA Euro-Med 2025 matters

SiGMA’s Malta show is the region’s flagship meet-up for operators, suppliers, affiliates, regulators, payment and tech providers. Beyond a packed expo, the show features a multi-track conference, startup pitch, and high-level networking set against Malta’s iGaming hub. New for 2025, SiGMA has shifted to early September and 10:00 starts to ease local traffic, with the MMH venue offering a larger, more navigable floor and better logistics.
