Expect the following days to be filled to the brim with spectacular events aiming to connect the most outstanding Canadian industry leaders in Toronto

In a first for SiGMA Group, the SiGMA Toronto expo has just opened its doors to the eagerly awaiting delegates. After months of intense expectation and preparation the day of the premiere in Toronto, Canada’s capital of innovation, is finally here. Expect these days to be filled to the brim with spectacular events aiming to connect the most outstanding industry leaders under one roof.

What went down yesterday:

Events started yesterday with a Beer Tour around Toronto where guests were offered Tasting Flights and Samples during their three brewery visits. Expert beer guides were present along the way educating them the whole process. Other events also included a competitive-friendly poker tournament, global gaming women networking drinks reception as well as dinner and welcome drinks.

Experts exchanging opinions on stage:

With the Summit taking center stage in Toronto, expect today’s conference to be graced with a hand-picked selection of global experts in the affiliation and gaming scene taking the limelight in discussions related to all industry-related things. Our panels are divided into two different topics. The first cohort between 9 am and 13:00pm will focus on the Sports Betting and esports scene. This will include insights into sports wagering in Ontario, payments for regulated iGaming and Sports betting, and fair peer-to-peer skill-based play.

Day one will also host the first SiGMA Americas Pitch competition in Toronto – always a crowd favorite the SiGMA Pitch draws crowds as ten exceptional business startups take to the stage to battle it out for a prize pool that includes mentorship, and media exposure, and investment opportunities. Therefore at 1 pm, we invite our conference audience present to witness potential unicorn companies taking the SiGMA / AGS stage for a heated competition that could launch one start-up dream into reality. One exceptional start-up could be a chance to take 500,000 in an equity investment fund.

As soon as the start-up pitch comes to a close the stage will get transferred back to a conference stage. Interested in online affiliation and digital marketing? Today is your day. From culture, content, cross-border affiliation, and NFTs, we invite all our delegates to engage in our panel discussions.

While the conference discussions are taking place on stage, Workshops will also be occurring at the same time. Here delegates can engage in intensive discussion and activities on a particular subject such as masterclasses, investor workshops, and introductions to the GameFi and Metaverse ecosystem.
