Egypt emerges as new igaming hub with launch of SPiCE Middle East
Eventus International’s premier igaming summit to debut in the country, spotlighting Egypt’s growing role in Africa’s digital gaming revolution.
Egypt.- Egypt is preparing to welcome the world’s igaming power players as Eventus International announces that SPiCE Middle East will make its debut next year, putting the country firmly on the global gaming map.
The Strategic Platform for igaming Conference and Exhibition, known simply as SPiCE, first launched in India in 2018. Since then, it has become a globetrotting gathering of gaming experts, decision makers and digital pioneers.
This marks the first time the SPiCE series will take place in North Africa, a sign of Egypt’s growing influence not only in the Middle East but also across the wider African digital economy.
The event will be held from May 6 to 8, 2026 in Sharm El Sheikh, a city that sits where Africa and Asia meet, geographically and increasingly economically.
Connecting igaming leaders
The event is widely regarded as the industry’s preferred opportunity to turn email exchanges into face-to-face deals, big ideas and significant partnerships.
Behind the scenes is Eventus International, a global organiser with a talent for identifying where the next big thing will happen. From gaming to fintech and beyond, their events focus less on panels and more on power moves.
At the heart of it all is igaming. As the Middle East updates its rulebook and embraces digital innovation, SPiCE Middle East aims to be more than just another date on the calendar.
It’s set to be the launchpad where fresh rules take shape, serious cash flows in and deals get done that could flip the industry on its head.
Egypt, buzzing with tech energy and a serious appetite for innovation, is rolling out the welcome mat like never before. This ancient land, famous for its pyramids and pharaohs, is now plotting to become the hottest playground where the future of gaming gets its start.
