BiS SiGMA Americas opens its doors in Sao Paulo for region’s largest gaming and betting event

The global gaming industry will gather starting today (14th), in Sao Paulo, for a historic event. BiS – Brazilian iGaming Summit, already established in Brazil, has joined forces with SiGMA, the world's leading event organizer, to hold BiS SiGMA Americas 2023. The main global players in the segment are present at the Transamérica Expo. Check the complete agenda.

BiS SiGMA Americas, an event expected by the entire global gaming and sports betting industry, is ready to welcome the world to the city and Sao Paulo starting this Wednesday, the 14th. The congress and the fair will take place at the Transamérica Expo.

Announced by the organizers as “the biggest iGaming event in Latin America”, they promise that BiS SiGMA will make history. And it's no wonder considering the union of two giants of the sector to carry out a congress and fair of this size.

Although the opening session will only take place tomorrow (Thursday 15th), the previous night reserves one of the most anticipated award ceremonies in the industry. The SiGMA Americas Awards will honor top global players at a gala ceremony that will include an auction with proceeds going to the SiGMA Foundation for a variety of charitable projects. At this meeting, Games Magazine Brasil is nominated as “LatAm media of the year”.

The following night will take place a new awards ceremony, in which the main actors who work in Brazil will compete in the Brazilian iGaming Awards, in which Games Magazine Brasil is also competing in the “Best Digital Magazine” category.

The exhibition will take place from June 15th to 17th at Transamérica Expo, starting at 9 am, with more than 220 exhibitors from the iGaming segments, including Games Magazine Brasil, the official media partner of the set of events.

In total, more than 130 speakers, including executive leaders and personalities from the iGaming sector. Check the complete agenda.
