IAG Opens Registration For 2026 IAG EXPO In Manila

IAG Opens Registration For 2026 IAG EXPO In Manila

Inside Asian Gaming has opened registration for the 2026 IAG EXPO, which will run from 14 to 17 September at Newport World Resorts in Manila. The event brings together suppliers, operators, media and industry stakeholders across Asia’s gaming, resort and entertainment sectors.

The 2026 edition marks the first time the expo will feature six core events. That broader format gives attendees more ways to target specific meetings, educational sessions and business development opportunities across four days.

Expanded Format Adds More Specialist Touchpoints

The programme begins with the CiG iDEA Summit on Monday 14 September, followed by the Manila After Dark welcome event that evening. The IAG Academy Summit and IAG Showcase then take place on Tuesday 15 and Wednesday 16 September, with the IAG Academy IR Awards scheduled for Tuesday night.

The Regulators Forum will close the programme on Thursday 17 September. That final session adds direct relevance for compliance teams and senior executives, because regulator-facing discussions often shape product planning, market entry and operating standards.

Registration Paths Reflect Different Audience Needs

Registration is open for Trade Visitors, Summit Delegates and Accredited Media. Trade Visitor passes include access to both days of the IAG Showcase, while Summit Delegate registration allows paid entry to one or more summit days, including the CiG iDEA Summit and the two IAG Academy Summit days.

Accredited Media, once approved, receive access to the CiG iDEA Summit, both IAG Academy Summit days and the IAG Showcase. This tiered structure helps exhibitors, decision-makers and journalists choose access based on their role and expected outcomes.

IAG EXPO Bridge Brings Networking Into The Registration Process

For 2026, the registration form is powered by IAG EXPO Bridge for the first time. The platform is built to help attendees connect before the show, maintain contact during the event and follow up afterwards.

That matters for B2B events because value is rarely limited to stand traffic alone. A networking platform can improve meeting quality, shorten sales cycles and help suppliers identify the right buyers before arriving on site.

Why This Matters For The Regional Industry

Manila remains a key meeting point for Asia-facing gaming and hospitality businesses. An expanded agenda, combined with a built-in networking tool, gives operators and suppliers a clearer route to partnership discussions, product discovery and regulatory insight in one venue.

Attendees can register through the official online form at www.iagexpo.com/registration. Sponsorship enquiries can be directed to Jadeson Ho, Alex Coutinho and Caroline Iau, while event enquiries can be sent to Dorothy Loi.
