SPiCE Middle East 2026

SPiCE Middle East 2026 is the inaugural Middle East edition of the SPiCE Series, scheduled for 24–25 November 2026 at V Hotel Sharm El Sheikh in Egypt. Organised by Eventus International, the conference and expo are positioned around the fast-evolving MENA gaming market, with a clear emphasis on networking, market access and commercially relevant discussion for regulated gaming stakeholders.

The event is presented as part of a global series that began in 2018 with SPiCE India and has since expanded into a wider international platform. For the Middle East launch, the organisers highlight new market opportunities, regulatory evolution and investment interest as the core reasons the series is entering Sharm El Sheikh. The official page also frames the event as a place for leaders to exchange insights and explore growth across the region.

SPiCE Middle East 2026 is built for specific professional groups across the gaming ecosystem. The official audience breakdown and attendee guidance point to a practical fit for roles that need market intelligence, regulatory clarity and partnership opportunities.

• Operators evaluating market opportunities, regulation and regional partnerships
• Suppliers seeking product visibility and new client relationships
• Affiliates exploring regional traffic and monetisation opportunities
• Payments providers meeting stakeholders involved in transaction infrastructure and compliance
• Regulators engaging with operators, investors and suppliers on policy direction
• Investors assessing growth in the MENA gaming market

The 2026 agenda preview shows a two-day format that combines conference sessions, expo access and dedicated networking time. Day 1 runs from morning registration through to an evening networking session, while Day 2 continues with conference and expo activity before closing with farewell drinks.

The official agenda preview includes:

• Registration and morning refreshments on both days
• Conference and expo sessions across both days
• A networking evening on Day 1
• Farewell drinks at the end of Day 2

SPiCE Middle East is designed as a business-first gathering rather than a general trade show. The official materials state that all tickets are paid entry passes, helping filter the audience toward decision-makers and senior attendees who are actively involved in commercial partnerships.

The event’s audience profile is presented as strongly senior and international, with attendees coming from more than four continents. Event materials also state that 90% of the audience are decision-makers, which is especially relevant for companies looking for direct access to operators, suppliers and other commercial counterparties.

SPiCE Middle East 2026 offers paid delegate passes with different access levels. The official page lists an Alumni Pass and a Standard Delegate Pass, each with conference, expo and networking access, plus access to the SP'iCE' Breaker Party.

Ticket information on the official page includes:

• Alumni Pass: EUR 345
• Standard Delegate Pass: EUR 545, with an early bird rate of EUR 445
• Early bird availability is limited and the rate ends 25 September 2026

The event takes place at V Hotel Sharm El Sheikh, located in Sharks Bay, South Sinai, Egypt. The venue is described by the organiser as a resort setting with a private beach, swimming pools, restaurants, leisure facilities and spa and wellness amenities, which makes it suitable for both formal sessions and informal meetings.

Practical travel support is also mentioned on the official page. Attendees who need visa assistance are directed to Eventus International’s official travel consultancy partner, and the event page notes that the full travel and registration process should be checked before booking.
