Throughout the year, SiGMA Group organizes events around the world to bring together the greatest minds in the tech, blockchain, and iGaming industries. After a very successful event in Belgrade that debuted the Balkans &CIS SiGMA Summit, attention is turned towards one of the biggest tech and iGaming events of the year: the SiGMA Europe event. SiGMA Group is combining its four top exhibitions, all of SiGMA, AGS, AIBC, and Med Tech expos will be held at the same event.
In an effort to get back to its origins, the SiGMA Group intends to bring global business executives to the sunny islands of the Maltese archipelago for a week of networking, workshops, and creativity. Malta is a natural choice for the company's European presence as it is one of the first European states that regulated the gambling sector and is the hub of the global industry. Sounds interesting?
