iGA Events has announced that its flagship event, the iGaming AFRIKA Summit (iGA Summit), will return to Nairobi, Kenya, from 4 to 6 May 2027. The summit will take place at the Sarit Expo Centre, following the success of its inaugural edition in 2026, which brought together operators, regulators, technology providers, and investors from across Africa and beyond.
The inaugural iGA Summit welcomed more than 3,300 delegates from over 100 countries, featured over 100 speakers across two stages, and hosted extensive exhibitions that connected operators, regulators, investors, and technology providers throughout the region.
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, said Jeremiah Maangi, CEO of iGaming AFRIKA. 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.
For 2027, the summit will focus on achieving sustainable growth for Africa’s gaming industry by aligning with global developments in regulation, technology, advertising and marketing, payments, crypto, responsible gaming, community empowerment, and esports. Organizers say the agenda will be informed by insights and data from the worldwide gaming sector.
Africa is no longer an emerging gaming market; it is one of the industry’s fastest growing frontiers. 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, Maangi added.
Building on the momentum of the 2026 event, iGA Summit 2027 plans to broaden its global reach by attracting more C-suite executives, regulators, investors, and technology providers, while welcoming delegates from more than 120 countries.
The organizers have also secured additional exhibition space to support a growing number of exhibitors. The iGA Summit Organising Committee said feedback from the inaugural edition has played a key role in shaping the plans for 2027.
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, the committee said.
The announcement highlights the continued growth of Africa’s gaming industry and reinforces the continent’s role as a major destination for gaming innovation, investment, and regulatory dialogue. Registration of interest for iGA Summit 2027 is now open, and prospective delegates, exhibitors, sponsors, and partners can visit the official website, www.igasummit.com, for the latest updates.
