Women in Gaming Africa (WiG) breaks new ground with international debut
African voices take centre stage as Women in Gaming Africa makes a powerful global debut signalling a new era for the continent’s gaming industry.
South Africa.- Women in Gaming Africa (WiG Africa) is making an impressive leap onto the global stage by partnering with SBC for the highly anticipated Gaming Summit in Lisbon, Portugal. For the first time ever, this African-focused initiative is taking its mission beyond the continent with boldness.
Teaming up with SBC is a proud moment for WiG Africa. SBC has established itself as a major force in gaming, payments, betting, fintech, affiliate marketing and entertainment by consistently gathering the industry’s top innovators and decision makers. The company’s events have become essential hubs for shaping the future of these rapidly evolving sectors.
Building on a successful debut in the 2024 edition, the SBC Summit 2025 returns to Lisbon from September 16 to 18. The event is expected to draw 30,000 delegates to an expansive six stage conference covering everything from global and emerging markets to payments, affiliation, player protection and hands on ‘Operator academy’ workshops.
WiG Africa, with offices in South Africa and parts of West Africa, is set to make a powerful impact at this event, which aims to unite members, industry allies and passionate enthusiasts determined to drive Africa’s rapidly expanding gaming ecosystem forward.
“This is more than just a networking event,” said Lois Bright, founder of WiG Africa.
“It’s a world first. For SBC to champion us in Lisbon and carve out space for Africa within a major global conference is not only symbolic, it’s a powerful act of inclusion. It tells the world that Africa is here, and Africa matters”, she said, according to the WiG platform.
For WiG Africa, this Summit is about putting African women front and centre in the global gaming spotlight and weaving connections that span continents, all while celebrating the continent’s bold spirit and creative flair.
