The iGaming AFRIKA Summit, organized by iGA Events, will return to Nairobi, Kenya, scheduled for May 4 to 6, 2027. The event will take place at the Sarit Expo Centre, following the successful launch of its inaugural edition in 2026, which attracted over 3,300 delegates from more than 100 countries. This initial summit featured over 100 speakers on two stages and showcased exhibitions that united operators, regulators, investors, and technology providers from across Africa and beyond.
Jeremiah Maangi, CEO of iGaming AFRIKA, expressed enthusiasm about the upcoming event, stating, "We are coming back bigger and stronger than ever before. Building on the tremendous success of our past edition, we are committed to organizing the best gaming event in Africa, not just in terms of size but in quality and impact. Our goal is to set a new standard for excellence in the industry, bringing together top minds, innovations, and opportunities the continent has to offer."
The 2027 summit is set to focus on sustainable growth within Africa’s gaming industry, aligning with global trends in regulation, technology, advertising and marketing, payments, cryptocurrency, responsible gaming, community empowerment, and esports. Maangi emphasized that Africa has become one of the fastest-growing gaming markets. "iGA Summit exists to connect the people, ideas, and investments that will shape the next chapter of that growth, and we’re excited to welcome an even broader international audience in 2027."
To build on the success of the inaugural event, the 2027 summit will broaden its appeal to include a greater mix of C-suite executives, regulators, investors, and technology providers, aiming to draw delegates from more than 120 countries. Additionally, organizers have secured more exhibition space to accommodate a growing list of exhibitors.
The iGA Summit Organising Committee noted that feedback from previous participants has been crucial in planning the upcoming summit. They stated, "iGA Summit has always been built by the industry, for the industry. The feedback we received from our inaugural edition has become the foundation of our planning for 2027. By listening to our community and acting on their recommendations, we are confident that the next edition will deliver an even richer experience and create greater value for all stakeholders across Africa's gaming ecosystem."
This announcement highlights the continuing growth of Africa’s gaming industry and underlines the continent's emergence as a prime location for gaming innovation, investment, and regulatory discussions.
