Zona de Azar Malta – SiGMA Europe Day 3: A Tour in Pictures

Malta – November 17, 2023 www.zonadeazar.com SiGMA Europe Day 3 : A tour in pictures

On Thursday, November 16, the city of Valletta, Malta, hosted the third and final day of SiGMA Europe 2023, the leading global conference in the gaming industry known as “the mother of all conferences”.

SiGMA Europe is the world’s leading gaming event and forum for industry experts and affiliates. It brings together more than 800 sponsors, 200 exhibitors, 250 speakers and 25,000 delegates to discuss gaming trends, share ideas and network. SiGMA has raised over €300,000 for charity since 2020 through its global events.

At the end of the successful event, Eman Pulis, CEO, shared the following heartfelt words:

To relocate to a larger, unconventional venue? Or to move the show away from Malta to a city with a more robust infrastructure?

One of the toughest decisions taken earlier this year under my watch paid off beautifully.

Merely five months ago we managed to secure all necessary permits just in time to start refurbishing three derelict sheds and host the largest conference ever in Malta.

I understand on day one, traffic flow across the country was impacted and the inconvenience is regretted. A few valuable lessons have been learnt to mitigate for next year.

The vibe of this year’s SiGMA Europe was unlike anything I’ve witnessed in nine years since the very first rodeo.

Delegates thought we couldn’t go any farther after last year’s performance at MFCC. Yet here we are today. Current exhibitors want bigger spaces and new clients want in big. I can’t wait to raise the bar yet again in 2024.

Similarly, the response from hoteliers, restaurants, suppliers, sports clubs & taxis has been overhelming, and a clear sign that the show should stay in Malta. The tourist sector used to refer to November as a shoulder month. Not anymore.

All the love to the greatest workforce, the SiGMA Squad: Ubuntu. I am because we are.
