BiS SiGMA Americas opens its doors in São Paulo and promises to become one of the largest events in the region

Starting today, the global industry gathers in São Paulo to attend a historic event, the union of BiS Brazilian iGaming Summit and SiGMA, one of the most important event organizers in the industry worldwide.

Thus, BiS SiGMA Americas 2023 will bring together a large number of companies and visitors at the Transamerica Expo convention center, with an event announced by its organizers as 'the largest iGaming event in Latin America.'

Recently, Alessandro Valente, Co-Founder of the fair, made an exclusive remark to Yogonet: "Before we had the confirmation that SiGMA would be with us, we had about 15,000m2 of area in Transamerica Expo Center reserved, being then two pavilions, but with their arrival, they brought many international exhibitors that were still far away from us."

"Aditionally, the company holds years of knowledge, a vast experience in organizing events for thousands of people, and this also represents something very positive and important for our growth. We will also receive more speakers and panelists who will come through the invitation made by SiGMA, which will bring to the event a series of special panels, external VIP mini-events, and so on," he added.

The exhibition will run through Saturday, June 17, every day starting at 9:00 a.m., with more than 220 exhibitors from the iGaming segments. In addition, the conferences will bring together more than 130 speakers, including executive leaders and personalities of the iGaming sector, according to the following agenda:
