IGE – Italian Gaming Expo & Conference renovates its graphic design, in view of the 2026 edition, and the IGE Executive Gaming Club debuts in July with a focus on regulatory and technological transformations.
A new graphic design and new logo for IGE – Italian Gaming Expo & Conference, the main Italian hub for discussion and strategic vision for the public gaming ecosystem, which, after the success of previous editions, returns in 2026, April, 14th and 15th; the dates to mark in your calendar, to build the future of the sector in a responsible, sustainable and innovative way. An event that is not just a showcase, but a living platform, where institutions, industry and stakeholders meet and which returns in 2026, a crucial year for the gaming sector in Italy. The year will in fact be characterized by the launch of new concessions in the retail and online sectors; by the implementation of the rules on traceability and digital payments, in line with the targets of fighting against illegal gaming and tax evasion; by the introduction of updated rules on Ai and algorithmic responsibility, with direct impacts on control, compliance and communication towards the user. All this, while the focus on sustainability, governance and measurability of social impact is growing.
The event, following the successful model of previous editions, will be divided into two days of meetings, talks, panels, showcases and networking, with the involvement of the heads of central and local institutions, starting with the Agenzia delle dogane e dei monopoli, but also of concessionaires, technology providers, consultants, local authorities, associations and universities. And there are many subjects at the heart of the program: Ai and gaming regulation, tax policies and new concession models, cybersecurity, Aml and digital payments, Esg and social compliance of the sector and much more.
THE IGE EXECUTIVE GAMING CLUB – While waiting for the event next spring, the big news ready to debut is the IGE Executive Gaming Club, the permanent laboratory of discussion between industry and regulator. An initiative reserved for C-Levels, designed to promote continuity, operational discussion and shared reading of regulatory and technological transformations. The first of the series of meetings is Tuesday, July, the 9th, at the MoMeC in Rome. A closed-door event, by invitation only, created with the aim of stimulating a high-profile discussion on the strategic issues that are redefining the economic, political and regulatory context on a global scale. At the heart of the discussion: the “geopolitics of chaos” and the new international balances, that require a deep reflection on leadership, on the role of institutions and on the ability of strategic sectors – such as gaming – to remain anchored to principles of sustainability, compliance and competitiveness. The protagonist of the meeting is Andrew Spannaus, an American political analyst and journalist, known for having anticipated systemic breakdown phenomena, such as the American and European populist uprising.
The initiative stands as a private place for listening and continuous discussion between the main executives of the sector. Not a conference, but a community designed to “focus on what happens before it happens” – as Simona Clarizio, curator of the project and content manager of IGE, highlights.
IGE 2026 is not just an event. It is an opportunity to create a system, understand the changes and lead the evolution of public gaming with awareness, innovation and vision. To participate as a speaker, partner or media: info@italiangamingexpo.com
