iGFEA 2026: A New Era of Value-Driven African iGaming Events
Will you join the wave?
For too long, the growth of the iGaming market on our Mother Continent has been hampered by substandard industry events, wasting time and resources while offering very limited value to attendees.
But over the past couple of years we’ve seen a tide change for iGaming events, notably in East Africa. New events such as last year’s iGFEA 2025 and this year’s iGaming Afrika Summit have played an integral role in bringing tangible value back to the continent via key East African iGaming markets such as Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania and have quickly become landmarks in the African iGaming industry events calendar.
This is why here at iGF we’re so excited to announce the upcoming iGamingFuture East Africa 2026 event, taking place in Nairobi, Kenya, at The Carnivore Grounds, 14th – 15th October 2026.Â
iGFEA 2026 will be the manifestation of all the amazing promise in African iGaming and the latest installment in the new wave of value-driven events on the continent.
Why iGFEA, you may ask, and where does the true value of this ground-breaking event lie?
Connecting with Tier 1 suppliers – Too often, international platform providers and suppliers, alike, approach the African market in the same way–and with identical products–as they would in Europe. At iGFEA 26, we’re giving you the opportunity to break with the failure of this outmoded approach and get you valuable face-time with leading tech suppliers and Africa iGaming leaders – helping to ensure you get the solutions that are truly tailored to your business needs. Event sponsors exhibiting on the day include: BetConstruct, EGT Digital, SoftSwiss, Amusenet, Sportradar, and many more!

High-level learning – Compared to established markets across Europe and the U.S., the East African iGaming market is still in the early stages of its exciting lifecycle. This means that there’s still terrific opportunities for ambitious operators to scale-up and take their share of this fresh, emerging and potentially-lucrative market. And it’s why we’ve curated a completely free-to-attend high-level conference agenda, featuring 25+ forward-thinking speakers from the leading iGaming brands in the region. All these leaders have been carefully selected and will be sharing their unique learnings and experiences of how to do business in the region, helping you to understand how to grow your business and navigate the ever-evolving East African iGaming landscape successfully.
Networking and Community Growth – iGFEA 2026 serves as an exclusive hub for 250+ leading figures in East African iGaming, including senior professionals from operators such as Betika, BetPawa, 22Bet, BetWay, MozzartBet, SportPesa, plus more. Key associations, such as AGOK, Tanzanian Operators Association, Kenya Football Federation and the Ugandan Gaming Regulatory Authority, will also be present at this top Africa event. And a number of top international VIPs, among them McDonald Mariga and former Premier League pro Victor Wanyama, will also grace the summit. If you’re interested in the future of the East African iGaming market, then this is the room you need to be in!
