SiGMA Group and Italy’s National Association of Public Amusement Machine Services (SAPAR) have signed a strategic partnership running through 2029 to collaborate on two of the country’s flagship gaming industry events.
Under the agreement, the two organisations will work together on SiGMA World, which will be held in Rome from November 2-5, and ENADA Primavera, scheduled to take place in Rimini from May 4-6, 2027.
SiGMA World, returning to Fiera Roma for its second edition, is expected to attract about 30,000 delegates and feature more than 1,200 exhibitors and 550 speakers across nine exhibition halls covering business-to-business, business-to-consumer and land-based gaming sectors.
“SAPAR’s historic agreement with SiGMA World opens up new and significant opportunities for our association to gain international visibility,” Sergio D’Angelo, President of SAPAR, said.
“A new chapter is beginning for the legal gaming supply chain, one that places our association on the international stage and provides an opportunity to showcase Italian excellence across the leading European and global arenas.”
As part of the partnership, SAPAR will lead the Italian Pavilion in Hall 5, which will focus on the domestic gaming market and include exhibitions and a conference stage designed to connect Italian and international industry stakeholders.
The conference programme will feature panels, workshops and keynote sessions conducted in Italian, with discussions expected to cover recent regulatory developments, advertising restrictions and responsible gaming.
SiGMA’s Chief International Relations Officer Heathcliff Farrugia said: “This partnership represents a shared commitment to supporting and promoting the Italian gaming industry. Together with SAPAR, we are proud to provide a global platform where industry leaders can address shared challenges and shape future strategies.”
The summit will also include networking events, award ceremonies, charitable art auctions and leisure activities alongside the exhibition and conference programme. Early bird tickets are open.
