🌟 About the Event
SiGMA North America makes its historic debut in Mexico City from September 1 to 3, 2026, marking a bold new chapter in SiGMA Group’s international expansion. Held at Centro Banamex, the bilingual, high-energy summit is designed to serve as a powerful gateway connecting the Latin American and North American gaming markets, positioning Mexico as a rising hub in the global gaming and technology landscape.
Organisers expect around 4,000 delegates for the debut edition, including roughly 1,000 operators, more than 150 speakers, and over 200 exhibitors and sponsors, with nearly half the audience expected at C-suite level. The choice of Mexico City is deliberate: according to Mexican gaming regulator data, the country already has more than 350 licensed land-based casinos and over 30 digital operators holding SEGOB licences under the “.mx” domain, a substantial and still-growing regulated market.
The three-day agenda addresses the key questions driving iGaming growth across North and Latin America, opening with a Day 1 panel on the role of global operators in Mexico’s iGaming market, featuring senior executives from ARRISE, Betsson, and Betcris. Delegates get access to product demos, supplier meetings, operator conversations, and technology showcases, alongside a dedicated VIP Lounge and networking food court.
A standout feature of the debut edition is SiGMA Pitch North America, held on September 3, where ten shortlisted startups present live on stage to investors, venture capitalists, and industry leaders, offering early-stage companies direct feedback and potential funding or partnership opportunities. The SiGMA North America Awards, recognising standout companies and individuals in the region’s gaming industry, take place on September 1.
SiGMA North America positions itself as a counterpart to BiS SiGMA South America in Brazil, giving the group two flagship meeting points across the Americas roughly five months apart. The September launch also connects neatly with the region’s wider event calendar: the SiGMA Affiliate Retreat runs in Cancun from September 4–6 immediately afterward, followed by Affiliate World Americas in Cancun on September 7–8, creating a genuinely packed September circuit for anyone working in iGaming, affiliate, or performance marketing across the Americas.

👥 Who Should Attend
SiGMA North America is built for iGaming operators, suppliers, affiliates, regulators, and payment providers with interests in the Mexican, wider Latin American, or North American betting and casino markets. Its bilingual format and regional focus make it especially valuable for companies actively expanding into Mexico’s growing regulated gaming sector.
📈 Why SiGMA North America Matters
Mexico’s iGaming market sits at a genuinely interesting inflection point: an established base of licensed land-based casinos combined with a still-emerging digital regulatory framework, and a location that functions as a natural bridge between North American capital and Latin American growth markets. SiGMA’s decision to launch a dedicated Mexico City summit reflects growing industry recognition that Mexico deserves its own flagship event, rather than being folded into broader Latin American or North American programming.
For payment and fintech companies serving the gaming sector, the debut edition offers a rare first-mover opportunity to build relationships with Mexican operators and regulators before the market matures further, particularly relevant given the event’s specific focus on cross-border payment rails and compliant acquiring for operators expanding across the region.
