SiGMA confirms Sri Lanka to host group's first event in South Asia

It was only a matter of time before South Asia, home to over 25% of the world’s population, will have its inaugural big gaming summit: SiGMA will launch a new event for the region’s markets in Sri Lanka. It is set to take place between the November 30th and December 2nd, 2025, in the city of Colombo.

An estimated 5000 delegates are expected to turn up to SiGMA South Asia´s 2025 event, with an expert-led speaker lineup featuring over 150 industry authorities, including government officials, regulators, and representatives from South Asia’s leading gaming and land-based companies.

The event will see additional participation from 800+ affiliates and an expo floor boosted by tier one companies from the region’s top 10 companies, promising an unmatched experience for networking and business.

The dates for the SiGMA South Asia and the Affiliate World events are perfectly aligned, allowing delegates to maximise their experience in South Asia.

Starting with SiGMA in Colombo (Monday, December 1st) and Tuesday (2nd), operators or studios seeking traffic can then easily and quickly fly to Bangkok on Wednesday (3rd), just in time for the first day of Affiliate World on Thursday (4th). This schedule offers a unique opportunity to attend both leading industry events in one streamlined trip.

Networking opportunities are abundant, with a prestigious gala awards ceremony opening the event, as well a charitable auction in support of the Foundation – SiGMA´s charitable arm overseeing a number of global projects and fundraising activities, such as a skill building centre for women in Ethiopia, and a multi-sensory hall for children in Bataan, Philippines.

Delegates will also have a chance to strengthen new relationships through a number of no-expense-spared dinners catering to a C-Level crowd. Things come to a close with an official party.

Why Colombo?

Situated on the west coast of the island, just south of the Kelani River, Colombo´s thriving financial hub makes it a prime business destination. Connected through multiple flight routes, Sri Lanka offers a gateway to top ranked local and global companies and leading talent.

With a total investment value of US$500 million, the Colombo International Financial Centre (CIFC) is the flagship development project of the Colombo Port City Special Economic Zone and an extension of Sri Lanka´s Central Business District. Popularly known as the garden city of the West, state-of-the-art infrastructure meets a diverse and lush cultural landscape.

“Join us at the forefront of this transformation and witness an experience that will set new standards in the industry and put the country firmly on the map as a premier gaming destination,” invites the organizers.
