Summit > About

The IAG Academy Summit is held from the second Tuesday in September each year in Manila, Philippines. The Summit brings together the best minds in the Asian gaming industry. With content developed by IAG’s Vice Chairman and CEO Andrew W Scott and Managing Editor Ben Blaschke, it features a range of speakers from across the region offering their insights by a range of methodologies. These include traditional panels and presentations as well as more innovative formats not previously witnessed at industry trade shows in Asia.

The IAG Academy Summit aims to do things differently, setting itself apart from other events by being innovative, creative and genuinely informative. We listen, and put the industry’s needs first. We strive for interesting and creative presentation formats, and genuinely engaging speakers with real value to offer. We carefully handpick speakers who are truly experts in their field with the ability to provide unique industry insights, and we are careful to avoid speakers who appear regularly on the Asian gaming conference circuit. Originality is key!

This year, the IAG Academy Summit will be held on Tuesday 8 and Wednesday 9 September 2026, in Manila, Philippines.
