This year’s summit in Manila is expected to attract over 16 thousand delegates through a packed programme of conferences, exhibitions, networking events, startup pitches, and awards ceremonies. The opening keynote from Tengco is set to serve as one of the headline moments, offering delegates direct insight from the regulator overseeing one of the region’s most closely watched gaming markets.
With the Philippines continuing to position itself as a leading gaming jurisdiction in Asia, Tengco’s participation further reinforces the country’s central role in shaping regional conversations around regulation, innovation, and long-term industry growth.
