Winna Media

Winna Media occupies a distinct niche in the gaming business ecosystem: it is not a conference organiser in the traditional sense, but a curator of highly selective, invite-only events that target the top echelon of Asia’s gaming sector. The company’s flagship product, the HOT100 series, brings together exactly 50 providers with 50 operators/investors at luxury resorts for several days of golf, private dinners, and structured but informal networking. The first HOT100 took place in Vietnam in March 2024, followed by an edition in Thailand in December 2024; HOT100 Thailand 2025 and HOT100 Vietnam 2026 have already been announced, indicating a steady cadence of annual retreats. TOP20 dinners offer a smaller, more focused format, gathering 20 executives around a specific theme for a private meal designed to facilitate direct business discussions.

The company also runs the Thai Entertainment Complex Summit, a conference-style event addressing the legalisation and development of integrated resorts in Thailand—a hot-button topic in the region. In November 2025, Winna Media launched an "AI in Gaming Investment Seminar" in Bangkok, signalling an expansion into emerging technology verticals that intersect with gaming operations and investment.

Winna Media acts as a media partner for select publications, offering on-site branding, distribution, and interview opportunities at its events. It also produces proprietary research, such as a white paper on Thailand’s Entertainment Complex legislation, which it sells directly. The company’s online presence includes a content-driven website featuring opinion pieces and industry analysis (e.g., “Deglobalisation and the Gaming Sector”, “Gamification – the critical driver for next-gen players”), positioning the firm as a thought leader beyond event logistics.

Leadership is centred on Founder & CEO Rosalind Wade, whose personal brand is deeply interwoven with the company’s reputation. Previous roles include creating and running long-standing gaming events across Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore, the Philippines, Taiwan, Thailand, Cambodia, and Australia. No other C-suite executives (CTO, CCO, COO) are publicly listed; the company’s lean team of 2–10 employees suggests that Wade handles strategic direction, sales, and partnerships directly, supported by a small operational staff. The company is privately held with no disclosed external funding, and its minimalist public profile—no press releases beyond event announcements, no visible advisory board—is consistent with a boutique operator that thrives on word-of-mouth and personal referrals. For potential partners, sponsors, or media entities looking to access senior Asian gaming decision-makers, Winna Media offers a credible, low-friction channel that avoids the noise of mass-market expos.
