SiGMA Group has formalized a strategic partnership with SAPAR, Italy's National Association of Public Amusement Machine Services, running through 2029 to co-organize SiGMA World in Rome and ENADA Primavera in Rimini. This collaboration aims to boost the international profile of the Italian gaming industry, with SAPAR leading a dedicated Italian Pavilion at SiGMA World.

SiGMA Group has announced a significant strategic partnership with Italy's National Association of Public Amusement Machine Services (SAPAR), extending until 2029. This collaboration aims to jointly organize two prominent events within the Italian gaming sector, enhancing both international visibility and domestic industry engagement.

The agreement covers SiGMA World in Rome, scheduled for November 2-5, and ENADA Primavera, set to occur in Rimini from May 4-6, 2027. The upcoming SiGMA World event, marking its second edition at Fiera Roma, is projected to attract approximately 30,000 delegates. It will also feature over 1,200 exhibitors and 550 speakers across nine dedicated halls, encompassing business-to-business (B2B), business-to-consumer (B2C), and land-based gaming segments.

As part of this partnership, SAPAR will oversee the Italian Pavilion, located in Hall 5. This dedicated area will highlight the domestic gaming market, hosting exhibitions and a conference stage designed to connect Italian and global industry stakeholders. The conference program will offer panels, workshops, and keynote sessions delivered in Italian, addressing crucial topics such as recent regulatory changes, advertising limitations, and responsible gaming practices.

Commenting on the alliance, SAPAR President Sergio D'Angelo stated, "SAPAR's historic agreement with SiGMA World opens up new and significant opportunities for our association to gain international visibility." He further emphasized that this marks a new chapter for the legal gaming supply chain, positioning the association on the global stage to showcase Italian excellence. Heathcliff Farrugia, SiGMA’s Chief International Relations Officer, added, "This partnership represents a shared commitment to supporting and promoting the Italian gaming industry."

Beyond the exhibition and conference agenda, the summit will incorporate a variety of supplementary activities. These include dedicated networking sessions, prestigious award ceremonies, charitable art auctions, and other leisure opportunities. Early bird tickets for the event are currently available.
