The SiGMA Group have announced the expansion of their shows into the African continent, with Cape Town being chosen as the host for the inaugural SiGMA Africa in March 2022. With the SiGMA Group also confirming that they have plans to host the show in 2023 and 2024 in Kenya and Ghana.
With the introduction of SiGMA Africa, the SiGMA Group will from 2022 be hosting iGaming events across four continents within a calendar year.
Commenting on the news, SiGMA Group Founder, Eman Pulis (left) said: “Africa offers an exciting and diverse marketplace, ripe with opportunity. Opening a show in Africa feels like the right move at a time when SiGMA is expanding its portfolio of events.”
“With events in Asia, LatAm and Europe, and a revamped website offering translation into 6 different languages, Africa brings us full circle as a truly international brand.”
“Why have we chosen Cape Town for our inaugural summit? Our friends at Clarion are doing a sterling job in Johannesburg and we simply didn’t want to provide more of the same, despite the latter being the business capital.”
“Cape Town, however, lends itself exceptionally well as a tourist destination, coupled with the fact that several gaming companies are also based there. It’s safe, fun and the facilities there are exceptional.”
“Covid-permitting, I can’t wait to head to Cape Town myself as soon as possible to check the facilities out!”
