SiGMA and SAPAR announce landmark partnership to power SiGMA World Rome
SiGMA Group and the National Association of Public Amusement Machine Services (SAPAR), the leading association representing Italy’s public gaming sector, are proud to announce a long-term strategic partnership that extends through 2029.
The landmark agreement will see both organisations work closely across two of the industry’s flagship events: SiGMA World – held this November 02 – 05 in Rome and ENADA Primavera, which takes place in Rimini from 04 to 06 May 2027.
SiGMA World, which returns to the Fiera Roma for a three-day second edition, is expected to welcome around 30,000 delegates to its expo floor. Here, nine dedicated halls will deliver a curated expo floor, targeting top-tier exhibitors across the B2B, B2C, and land-based verticals.
“SAPAR’s historic agreement with SiGMA World opens up new and significant opportunities for our association to gain international visibility. A new chapter is beginning for the legal gaming supply chain, one that places our association on the international stage and provides an opportunity to showcase Italian excellence across the leading European and global arenas,” said Sergio D’Angelo, President of SAPAR.
SAPAR will spearhead the Italian Pavilion in Hall 5, a space focused on the Italian market. Through its exhibitions and dedicated conference stage, the pavilion will serve as a central meeting point for domestic and international stakeholders seeking to engage with one of Europe’s most influential gaming markets.
Over the three days, the conference stage will deliver a series of high-level panels, workshops, and keynotes. Conducted in Italian, the agenda showcases some of Italy’s most respected and influential voices – with discussions expected to focus on the most recent updates to Italy’s regulatory framework, advertising restrictions, and responsible gaming.
“This partnership represents a shared commitment to supporting and promoting the Italian gaming industry,” said SiGMA’s Chief International Relations Officer Heathcliff Farrugia. “Together with SAPAR, we are proud to provide a global platform where industry leaders can address shared challenges and shape future strategies.”
