Final Week: Asia’s Gaming Industry Prepares to Meet in Cebu for SPiCE International 2026
In this article
From the first networking luncheon to the final farewell drinks, SPiCE International 2026, the Strategic Platform for iGaming Conference & Exhibition, is built to put the right people in the same room. Its third edition takes place 12 – 13 November at Shangri-La Mactan, Cebu, the Philippines, for operators, suppliers, investors, technology leaders and regulators.
Asia’s gaming industry continues to evolve, with digital play expanding, a maturing regulatory landscape and operators placing greater emphasis on localisation, compliance and technology.
Across two days, the programme explores what those shifts mean in practice, moving from regulation and AI to procurement, player acquisition, prediction markets and capital, with the emphasis on practical answers and commercial outcomes.
Here is what attendees can expect:
Day One:
Thursday 12 November
- Welcoming Networking Luncheon: Attendees will arrive, register and meet over lunch before the conference begins, with a first chance to connect with fellow professionals.
- Half-Day Conference and Expo: An afternoon of expert-led sessions, including a keynote on digital product design and physical luxury, the Startup Pitch Competition, the Product Marketplace and the Casino Leaders Panel.
- Awards Evening: Networking drinks and the SPiCE International Eventus Awards Ceremony, co-sponsored by Bidroid, will bring the first day to a close.
Day Two:
Friday 13 November
- Full-Day Conference and Expo: A complete day of sessions on the creator economy, winning players in regulated markets, AI in iGaming, the CEO Technology Forum and prediction markets, closing with a fireside chat on where capital is flowing.
- Farewell Drinks: A final chance to continue the conversations and follow up on the connections made.
