About SPiCE Middle East 2026
SPiCE Middle East is the inaugural MENA edition of the SPiCE Series, the gaming-industry event brand Eventus International grew out of SPiCE India (first held 2018). It is pitched at operators, suppliers, affiliates, payment providers and regulators looking at the fast-changing Middle East and North Africa gaming market, with a stated focus on regulatory evolution, new market opportunities and investment. The 2026 edition runs over two days at the V Hotel resort on Sharks Bay in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt. The published agenda preview has conference and expo sessions on both days, a networking evening on day one and farewell drinks on day two. Organiser press material describes a policy-led programme covering Egypt as a regional gaming hub, tourism and integrated entertainment, responsible gaming, sportsbook and slot operations, affiliate partnerships and investment. All passes are paid, and the organiser says 90% of the audience are decision-makers. The 2026 speaker line-up is drawn mainly from African and Middle Eastern operators and regulators.
