Eventus International has announced that the 3rd Annual SPiCE International will be held on November 5-6, 2026, in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. This year's event comes at a critical juncture for Cambodia's gaming industry, as the sector faces increased regulatory scrutiny and a renewed focus on sustainability, legitimacy, and investor confidence. The discourse is evolving, shifting from mere access to opportunities toward building a credible, transparent, and investment-ready market for the long term.
SPiCE International 2026 aims to facilitate this important conversation by gathering regulators, operators, investors, suppliers, and key industry stakeholders for two days of high-level dialogue, exhibitions, and networking. Discussions will cover a range of topics including regulatory strengthening, compliance and governance, market entry strategies, investment opportunities, operational best practices, technology innovation, and the significance of trusted partnerships in creating a more resilient sector.
This year, there will be a stronger focus on exhibition and commercial engagement, designed to foster not only insightful discussions but also valuable business connections and product showcases. Tim Shepherd of Fortuna Investments remarked, "The conversation around Cambodia's gaming sector has shifted considerably. It is no longer simply about access to opportunity but about building something sustainable and credible for the long term. SPiCE International 2026 brings together the stakeholders best placed to do exactly that, and Phnom Penh in November is where we intend to be."
Tim Nguyen, also from Fortuna Investments, echoed this sentiment, stating, "Cambodia is a market to watch closely, and the timing of SPiCE International 2026 could not be better. The sector is at a genuine turning point, and this is exactly the kind of platform the industry needs to engage with that seriously."
Danny Too of MediaPro emphasized the current attention on the Cambodian market, indicating that SPiCE International 2026 is the ideal venue to explore its implications. He said, "Cambodia has the industry's attention right now, and for good reason. SPiCE International 2026 is the right place to understand what that means in practice."
For industry participants focused on the sector's long-term potential, a well-governed market presents a more attractive opportunity. The most credible voices within the industry will convene in Phnom Penh in November to discuss the market's prospects and the necessary standards to achieve them.
