Super Expo creates buzz in Manila
Reading Time: 3 minutes
SiGMA, ICE and AIBC – Three big shows in Manila, June 2020
Excitement for next year’s super expo for iGaming, land-based gambling, and blockchain reached new highs on Thursday in Manila, as SiGMA Group and Clarion held a press conference and networking event to officially launch the Manila 2020 show.
Almost 200 media and members of Manila’s business community attended the event to confirm the event, discuss the sector and network with others across these three business verticals. SiGMA Manila, ICE Asia and Manila AI & Blockchain Summit will take place June 8th-9th 2020 at the SMX Convention Centre, as well as the adjacent Conrad Hotel, Manila.
The conference will address all the latest developments in land-based gaming, igaming, esports, digital games as well as Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain, Internet of Things, Big Data, Quantum Technology and FinTech.
For the very first time in history, the two verticals – new tech and gaming will meet in one city on the same dates, bringing the brightest minds and most successful entrepreneurs under one roof.
About iGaming Show in Manila
As a joint venture between SiGMA Group and Clarion Gaming, the gaming part of the event will cater for both the land-based gambling sector as well as the iGaming sector, with online suppliers, operators, affiliates, regulators and blockchain businesses all being housed under one roof at the SMX Convention Centre (situated in the heart of Manila as well as the adjacent Conrad conference venue).
Clarion Gaming are the organisers between the world’s largest gaming show, out of London, ICE Totally Gaming. SiGMA Group is responsible for the world’s second largest gaming show, based out of Malta – SiGMA. With these two forces uniting and heading to Manila together, the organisers are expecting around 10,000 delegates from Europe and USA.
About Blockchain and AI Show in Manila
The organisers behind the world’s largest Blockchain and AI expo in Europe, AIBC Summit, will also be bringing their wealth of experience and contacts to Manila. Past editions have seen world-class speakers Akon (grammy-award winning artist and social impact leader), Winklevoss brothers, John McAfee, Sophia the World’s first robot citizen, Malta’s Prime Minister Joseph Muscat, Tim Draper, Anthony Pompliano and many more.
The AIBC Summit in Manila is supported by CEZA and Vibe.ph.
Why Show in Manila? Why Asia?
As Asia tempts leading brands from the global gambling sector to expand business opportunities in the region, it’s fast becoming clear that Asia is the new frontier for both land-based and iGaming industries.
Recent figures from Global Gaming Statistics 2019 reveal that jurisdictions all over Asia are looking to capitalise on the global opportunities flourishing in the gaming sector. Given this trend, it’s crucial to foster dialogue between East and West, addressing considerations such as regulatory environments in different territories, payments processing methods, the integration of blockchain emerging technologies, and even bandwidth for mobile gaming.
It’s precisely these issues that next year’s show in Manila will address by bringing the biggest brands and jurisdictions in the sector together in one venue.
Eman Pulis, founder and CEO of SiGMA, commented, “We are impressed by the vibrant entrepreneurial spirit in South-East Asia, specifically in Manila and the Philippines. Which is why we believe that ICE, SiGMA and AIBC – Asia – should be held in Manila. I look forward to the first edition this coming June 2020 with excitement. The feedback from our previous attendees in Europe has been overwhelming.”
Kate Chambers, Managing Director for Clarion Gaming, commented, “The opportunities for growth in Asia are increasing exponentially year on year, and the time is right to cement new and existing relationships between the gambling industries in both East and West. To combine the expertise of Clarion courtesy of the world famous ICE brand and SiGMA ensures both the land-based and iGaming sectors will find synergy in Manila in 2020. This is an exciting time as we extend the reach of the ICE brand following the launch of ICE Africa in 2018 and ICE North America in May 2019.”
On June 8-9th, 2020, all eyes will be on South-East Asia, in Manila for this gathering of top level delegates from all over the world.
The floor plan for Asia is already filling up fast. Detailed information about our Sponsorship and Exhibitor packages can be found on our site. If you have any questions, or wish to speak to someone about opportunities, please contact Eman [email protected] or Jean at [email protected].

LoopMe research: Increasing GenAI adoption paves the way for an explosion in mobile gaming ad potential
New research from LoopMe, the global leader in brand performance, reveals that consumers are twice as likely to use GenAI for search (x2 in the US and x2.2 in the UK), while it’s nearly three times in Australia (x2.7).
As AI redefines online behaviour, and the enormous implications this has for brand visibility and advertising, the solution may lie in mobile gaming. While the adoption of AI tools is leading to a decline in clicks and associated site traffic, the story is different in gaming. This channel is on the rise, offering a scale that encompasses all demographics, alongside engaged and receptive audiences.
LoopMe surveyed 66,819 consumers across Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States to gauge GenAI usage. The data shows the majority are now using these tools daily or at least several times a week (US: 56%, UK: 55%, Australia: 57%). For those using tools daily, similar patterns emerge, with approximately three in ten adopters falling into this group (Australia: 27%, UK: 29%, US: 30%).
Nearly one-fifth of GenAI users across all three markets report spending less time browsing the web because of AI tools (US: 19%, UK: 20%, and Australia: 22%). Even among infrequent GenAI users, there’s a move away from traditional search, resulting in web browsing falling by 19%-50% across the markets. This shift isn’t limited to specific demographics but plays out across all age groups, indicating a move towards embracing AI and a corresponding reduction in browsing time to varying degrees.
Nearly a third of users (28% in the US and 30% in Australia and the UK) across all three countries cite ‘getting answers faster’ as the number one benefit of GenAI. This reduction in browsing time online is freeing them up for other pursuits. And one of these appears to be more time for gaming: In Australia, 18% cited that they are spending more time on mobile gaming, while in the US, it’s 19% and rising to 21% in the UK.
Again, this is a trend across all age groups and markets. While the greatest shift in the UK is seen among 18-24-year-olds, with 62% spending more time on mobile gaming rather than less, in the US it’s the 25-34-year-olds (40%). Meanwhile, for Australians, it’s the 35-44-year-old demographic (58%). However, growth is being experienced across all age bands, with all three countries seeing strong mobile gaming growth even among the 55–64-year-olds.
This growth can also be seen among infrequent GenAI users too. In the US, there is a 40% net difference between those casual GenAI users who spend more time gaming and those who spend less, rising to 55% in Australia and 71% in the UK.
When asked about streaming games, there is more preference among younger age groups. While there are country variations, the 18-24 and 25-34-year-old age groups are the heaviest users of streaming games, and these groups will likely drive its future potential.
“What the research highlights is the advertising opportunities opening for brands as gaming becomes a key route to market. This is a medium that’s being embraced by all age groups and all demographics. And it’s increasing among frequent AI users as well as more casual ones, offering brands the potential to get in front of audiences that other channels might not serve well,” commented Stephen Upstone, CEO & Founder at LoopMe.
“We’ve found that gamers are more than three times as likely to be receptive to advertising in this environment compared to the mobile web. And because audience value and the opportunities gaming offers are out of alignment with current advertising investment in the channel, this lack of competition only adds to its attractiveness. As digital advertising adjusts to this era of AI, mobile gaming is shedding its bit player role and moving centre stage, delivering scale and reach that competes with traditional broadcast channels.“
