SiGMA South Asia Awards 2026

SiGMA South Asia Awards 2026 is the opening-night ceremony of the SiGMA South Asia summit, its second edition after a successful 2025 debut in Colombo. The ceremony runs the evening of November 30 (7–11 PM), with the full summit continuing through December 2.

Summit scale overall:

• ~3,500 delegates, 150+ exhibitors, 100+ speakers — a notable jump from 2,500 attendees at the first edition in Sri Lanka
• Focus areas: online gambling, blockchain, and digital technology across South and Southeast Asia

Arrival-day schedule (November 30):

• 12:00–8:00 PM — pre-registration and welcome reception
• 12:00–3:00 PM — an exclusive day Activity for Platinum ticket holders (past SiGMA editions have included yacht cruises, golf, and tastings; the Bangkok format isn't confirmed yet)
• 7:00–11:00 PM — the SiGMA Awards South Asia ceremony itself

The arrival format follows SiGMA's standard structure: a settling-in day, two working days, then departure — meaning the Awards ceremony functions as the summit's kickoff rather than a standalone evening.

For affiliates and webmasters working South and Southeast Asian markets, the opening ceremony is a convenient entry point into the summit: the celebratory, informal setting tends to make introductions easier than the more formal sessions later in the week, and Platinum pass holders get an extra afternoon activity for more intimate networking with top players before the main rush begins.
