2026 ASEAN Gaming Summit to be held on 6–8 May

This year’s edition of the ASEAN Gaming Summit will take place from 6 to 8 May in Manila, instead of its usual mid-March time slot, the organiser has announced.

The three-day event, to be held at Shangri-La The Fort in Manila, will bring together leading stakeholders — including regulators, operators, suppliers and service providers — from across the region. The summit will focus on “the reversal of roles, as Asian companies now lead the way in investment and expansion into emerging and global markets”, according to a press release.

This includes stories of “westbound” Asian companies seeking opportunities in other fast-growing markets, particularly in South America.

The Asian Gaming Awards 2026 ceremony is scheduled for 6 May, when the industry will come together to celebrate achievements, growth and innovation among peers.

The organiser added that the 2027 edition of the summit will return to its traditional March time slot, running from 15 to 17 March 2027.
