The BiS SiGMA South America Summit is set to take place on April 6-9, 2026. It has the formal backing of APOJA, as the event is seen as a major hub for the interconnected and strategic ecosystem of the Latin American gaming industry. The summit will take place in São Paulo, with significant commitments from various Gaming Associations in the region.
APOJA has provided a letter of endorsement demonstrating its strong support for the BiS SiGMA South America Summit and reaffirmed that it serves as a venue for collaboration, communication with regulators and developing businesses.
This endorsement represents a strategic alliance by regional gaming stakeholders pursuing sustainable development of their markets and the SiGMA global organisation.
Strengthening regional cooperation
APOJA acknowledged that this summit will be among the top events where all the different stakeholders involved with iGaming, Sports Betting, Regulatory Compliance and Digital Payments all converge in Latin America.
The group stated that the summit’s purpose is to bring together all stakeholders in a cooperative manner to facilitate responsible growth and knowledge sharing. This type of forum is a critical component in developing balanced regulatory frameworks and increasing the level of transparency within the industry.
APOJA also stated that the summit provides a structured environment for vendors, operators, and regulators to discuss, among other things, how they can access markets, create regulatory innovation, develop responsible gaming programs and promote technological advancement.
Finally, they also noted the importance of international cooperation in strengthening the gaming industry in Latin America. As many Latin American countries are going through either regulatory reform or market expansion, establishing a dialogue among stakeholders is a key way to harmonise standards and encourage best practices.
A hub for industry leadership
The endorsement further acknowledges the scale and scope of the upcoming summit. SiGMA continues to position its South American event as a high-impact meeting point for global and regional stakeholders.
The 2026 edition is expected to gather thousands of delegates, including operators, technology providers, affiliates, regulators, and investors. The programme will feature an extensive agenda of conference panels, keynote presentations, networking sessions, and exhibition showcases designed to drive industry progress.
APOJA noted that the event’s diverse speaker lineup and wide participation of exhibitors provide an opportunity for attendees to exchange insights, explore emerging technologies, and strengthen commercial partnerships.
This environment encourages collaboration across borders and helps accelerate innovation in areas such as payments infrastructure, player protection frameworks, and compliance technologies.
Supporting responsible market development
The association stressed that, in addition to their commercial prospects, the group’s commitment to responsible development within their industry is also important. The group’s position was clear; they continue to endorse existing initiatives aimed at creating transparent and well-regulated gaming markets across the region.
For example, events such as BiS SiGMA South America create opportunities for public entities and private-sector operators to discuss. Through this engagement, governments have clearer regulatory frameworks, which will help foster a more sustainable environment for existing businesses to operate.
By promoting collaboration between all stakeholders, including industry participants and government entities, the summit provides an opportunity for positive policy development and the sharing of knowledge.
APOJA noted that building a better relationship between market participants and regulators is essential. The summit provides opportunities for productive networking, such as through conferences and roundtables, to help develop productive relationships.
Looking ahead to April 2026
As preparations for the 2026 edition accelerate, the endorsement from APOJA adds further momentum to the event’s regional profile. Support from national industry bodies demonstrates the value placed on structured dialogue and collective progress within Latin America’s gaming sector.
For SiGMA, such partnerships reflect the organisation’s broader mission to unite stakeholders, facilitate responsible innovation, and support regulatory clarity across global markets.
With growing participation expected from across Latin America and beyond, BiS SiGMA South America 2026 is set to serve as a focal point for industry leadership, strategic partnerships, and policy discussion in the months ahead.
For organisations seeking to understand the evolving regulatory landscape, explore new commercial opportunities, and connect with key decision makers, the summit represents a critical date in the regional gaming calendar.
