The ASEAN Gaming Summit made yet another massive splash this year, welcoming over a thousand attendees, dozens of top industry expert panelists, over a dozen exhibitors and an expansive array of top sponsors.

The event’s focused format allowed for direct contact with speakers – for the audience to tap their knowledge before, during, or after their diverse and highly informative panels. Plus, networking opportunities were a shining light again this year.

The industry was also celebrated extensively during the Asia Gaming Awards, which took place on 18th March – shining the spotlight on industry pillars, up-and-comers and specific products that push the meaning of cutting edge.

Pre-empted with a day of special workshops aimed at exploring leadership and management opportunities, jurisdictions, regulations, compliance and opportunities, the event quickly accelerated over the following two information-packed days.

Top array of regulators, experts and industry heads

The first full day of the summit was opened by a special State of the Industry Address by the Chairman of the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation – Alejandro H. Tengco.

Given the event’s location in Manila, the PAGCOR Chairman was quick to highlight the growth of the Philippines’ online sector – which shows extreme potential for continued success, as well as the diverse offerings from integrated resorts – as more properties open and redefine luxury.

A series of intense panels over the day examined everything from regulation to AI, KYC, the online market, the necessities of tech (and its rapid advancement), and emerging markets such as Thailand and the UAE.

Topping off the evening was the Asia Gaming Awards – which added special new categories this year and brought in new contenders to battle it out with established giants.

But that wasn’t all!

A full day of top-geared panels was kicked off with a deep dive into the origin of iGaming in the Philippines, moving into the future of gaming, tech and advertising.

Attendees were treated to a wealth of insights covering compliance, live tables, ETGs, non-gaming trends, and changing demographics.

This was all topped off with a look at what could happen next for Asia’s top gaming markets – what opportunities and shifts are there, and how to seize them.
