Gaming industry professionals participating in the upcoming SiGMA World summit will have the opportunity to earn as many as 18 Continuing Professional Development (CPD) learning hours over the course of three dedicated conference days. Running from November 3 to 5, 2026, at Fiera Roma, the educational program offers a maximum of six certified hours per day, adding a formal professional development dimension to an event already renowned for high-level networking and commercial deal-making.
Staying fully informed across the modern gaming landscape requires more than general awareness of industry headlines. Regulatory frameworks differ significantly between jurisdictions, rapid technological advancements continually reshape operational workflows, and commercial strategies must constantly adapt to shifting player behaviors and evolving market access requirements.
Because these complex topics impact various professionals differently, such as an operator tackling market entry versus a compliance specialist implementing specific rules or a technology provider optimizing architecture, the conference curriculum has been carefully structured to integrate these diverse operational perspectives.
Multi-industry professional development stages
Reflecting the expansive multi-vertical scope of SiGMA World 2026, the CPD initiative encompasses professional learning across executive leadership, regulatory compliance, payments, advanced technology, product innovation, market expansion, and performance marketing. Delegates can accumulate accredited learning hours across five specialized conference stages:
- Main Stage: Dedicated to international market expansion, regulatory frameworks, gaming operations, and strategic industry leadership.
- Italy Stage: Focused specifically on Italy’s regulated gaming environment, local compliance, product innovation, and commercial developments.
- AGS Stage: Tailored for affiliate marketing professionals covering traffic acquisition, search engine optimization, and performance marketing.
- AIBC Stage: Explores artificial intelligence, blockchain architecture, digital assets, and frontier technological applications.
- Global Finance Stage: Highlights financial services, fintech innovations, forex markets, digital payments, and liquidity management.
Under official CPD guidelines, acceptable learning hours apply exclusively to presentations, panels, and discussions held on the conference stages. General exhibition floor visits, networking receptions, and private commercial meetings are excluded from accreditation calculations.
Simple process for claiming CPD hours
Delegates wishing to have their conference participation officially recognized can register their interest directly through SiGMA’s dedicated online CPD portal. The procedure begins by completing a brief digital form either prior to arrival or while attending the summit in Rome.
To verify attendance, delegates must ensure they scan their entry badges each time they enter the conference venue. Individual session check-ins are not required, as daily venue entrance logs will serve as official attendance proof. Following the conclusion of the event, organizers will cross-reference registration submissions with access records, and official CPD certificates will be issued by the iGaming Academy. Attendees requiring assistance with registration or documentation can visit the SiGMA College stand on-site at the summit.
