IGI Expo 2026

Brazil regulated fixed-odds betting and now everyone wants a piece of it. IGI Expo 2026 is where that plays out in person: two days at the Blue Tree Premium Morumbi in São Paulo, 12 and 13 November, with operators, suppliers, affiliates, payment companies, lawyers and state lottery bodies sharing a floor. The full name is iGaming & Gaming International Expo. The organisers run it as a business fair first and a conference second, which is a useful thing to know before you book. If you're going to sit in sessions all day, other events on the Brazilian calendar are more academic. If you're going to book meetings, this one is built for that.

What IGI Expo is The event covers two adjacent industries that get lumped together in Brazil: iGaming, meaning betting and online casino, and gaming, meaning game development and eSports. The exhibition hall carries both. You'll find sportsbook and casino platform providers next to payment processors, KYC vendors, affiliate networks, adtech firms and game studios. The organisers describe the mix as companies and entrepreneurs, professionals and investors, brought together around exhibition and business rather than lectures. In practice that means the stand floor is the main event and the panel programme runs alongside it.

Where it sits in the Brazilian calendar São Paulo is the obvious home for this. The city hosts the head offices of most licensed Brazilian operators, the agencies that buy their media and the payment companies that move their money. Holding the event in Morumbi rather than a convention district on the city's edge keeps it close to where those companies actually work. The November slot puts IGI Expo late in the year, after the bigger summer shows. The organisers pitch it as the last major iGaming showcase of the Brazilian second half, which is roughly accurate and worth knowing if your Q1 planning depends on deals closed before December.

Who's in the room The confirmed brand list gives a clear picture of the audience. On the supplier side: Playtech, Evolution, Novomatic, OpenBet, Comtrade Gaming, Salsa Technology and Oddsgate. On payments and compliance: Pay4fun, IUGU, OKTO, Paymee, Telesign, Shufti and Legitimuz. Operators include Stake, Betboom, Estrela Bet, Esportes da Sorte, BetBra and TQJ Bet.

IGI Expo 2026 is built for operators, suppliers and affiliate managers, with 2,500 delegates expected.

Passes are sold through Blueticket. Three tiers exist, and two of them are already gone: - Standard: sold out. Covered exhibition floor access across both days plus a welcome kit. - VIP: BRL 790, limited availability remaining. Everything in Standard plus access to the VIP B2B networking area. - Gold: sold out. VIP benefits plus an exclusive lounge and the post-event networking dinner and awards ceremony. A 50% promotional discount has been running for a limited window, so check the current price before assuming the listed figure. With Standard closed, VIP is the only tier still generally available, and the counters on the ticket page suggest it's moving.

and getting there Blue Tree Premium Morumbi, Av. Roque Petroni Júnior 1000, Morumbi, São Paulo, SP, 04707-000. The hotel sits beside Shopping Morumbi, which gives you food, banks and taxis within walking distance, and it's a straightforward run from Congonhas Airport. International arrivals into Guarulhos should budget an hour or more depending on traffic. Staying at the venue hotel is the easy option, though the organisers haven't published a negotiated delegate rate.

Should you go? - If Brazil or LATAM is on your roadmap, yes. The combination of licensed operators, state lotteries, bar association chapters and a dedicated affiliate zone makes it more useful than its size suggests, and the ticket price is a fraction of what the big international shows charge. - If you're only selling into Europe or North America, skip it. This is a Brazilian market event, run mostly in Portuguese, and the value is entirely in the local network.
