The SiGMA Asia exhibition, scheduled to take place from June 1 to 4 in Manila, will provide an exclusive relaxation space for 120 land-based operators. Following the "tremendous success" of last year's relaxation event held at the Inspire Resort in Incheon, Korea, SiGMA Asia will collaborate with PAGCOR to host the second edition of this event in Manila.
This event will be held concurrently with the SiGMA Asia Conference and Expo in 2025, aiming to strengthen ties with the Asian land-based industry.
PAGCOR CEO and Chairman Alejandro H. Tengco stated in a letter of support: "PAGCOR is honored to announce its collaboration with SiGMA Asia in hosting the land-based event, which will be a highlight of the 2025 conference."
"As expected, this exclusive event will gather top land-based gaming operators from around the world, providing a unique platform for networking, knowledge sharing, and exploring new partnerships and investment opportunities. As a loyal partner, we will fully support and actively participate in this event to ensure its success," he continued.
He further expressed his belief that this collaboration will showcase the Philippines' leadership in gaming regulation and bring economic and strategic value to the local industry.
Event Highlights
SiGMA Asia 2025 is not just a business event, according to its organizers, it is also an "experience." C-level focus groups will delve into key topics such as emerging markets like Japan and Thailand, regulatory changes, and PAGCOR's expansion strategies. Beyond business, social gatherings, fine dining, and exclusive social events will provide the "perfect environment" for building relationships.
A major highlight of the retreat will be the SiGMA Land-Based Awards Ceremony, which will recognize outstanding contributions to the industry. The event aims to honor companies and individuals who set industry benchmarks while promoting responsible gaming and long-term regional growth. At the end of the evening, a charity auction will offer guests the opportunity to give back and contribute to the communities they serve by bidding on donated artworks.
VIP guests will also enjoy a luxurious all-inclusive package, which includes:
Round-trip airfare
Luxury accommodations
Exclusive entertainment events
Full participation in the SiGMA Asia Conference and Expo
