About SiGMA Africa 2027
SiGMA Africa is SiGMA Group's summit for the African gaming industry. The 2027 edition runs from 15 to 17 February 2027 at The Grand Arena at GrandWest Casino and Entertainment World in Cape Town, the series' home since it moved from its 2023 debut in Nairobi to South Africa. The organiser expects around 3,000 delegates, up from 2,700 at the 2026 edition. The audience combines online and land-based operators, affiliates, platform and game suppliers, payment providers and startups with a large regulatory and government contingent: more than 30 African regulators, lottery boards and associations endorse the event, and SiGMA runs business-to-government (B2G) expo tours for visiting officials. The programme opens on 15 February with a golf tournament, early badge collection, a welcome reception and the SiGMA Africa Awards at GrandWest. The following two days combine an exhibition floor of 200+ exhibitors with a two-day conference, closing with the SiGMA Startup Pitch final on 17 February and the SiGMA Official Party that evening.
