How many gaming industry conferences will you attend in 2022?

[MichaelCorfman]

Calendar year 2022 is the first year with a full conference schedule since 2019. So, for this week’s poll, I ask how many gaming industry conferences you expect to have attended by the end of the year.

Besides voting in the poll, I invite you to share why you do or don’t choose to attend industry conferences, and what conferences you have attended, or plan to attend, this year. And also share whether you expect to attend fewer or more conferences in 2024.

Personally, I have made two conference trips so far this year: One to London in April to attend attended ICE London and iGB Affiliate London and one to Amsterdam in July to attend iGB Live!. Plus I have a third trip planned this year to Malta in November to attend SiGMA.

Attending three or four conferences a year is pretty typical for me, so I’m likely to do the same again next year, or maybe one more.

I value speaking with colleagues and the connections I make at conferences, which is why I go to as many conferences as I do. But they do take time, and it always takes me a while to catch up afterwards, which is why I don't attend more.

Went to SiGMA Balkans/CIS. Probably my only one for this year.

[WYN Global Media Limited]

I went to London iGB, Amsterdam iGB, SiGMA Balkans/CIS and I'm planning to attend SiGMA in November.

[newcustomeroffer]

Attended LAC, likely that's the only one for 2022.

[TheGooner]

None

I've attended:

1. SIGMA Dubai
2. iGB London
3. iGB Amsterdam
4. SIGMA Belgrade
5. SBC Barcelona (to be attended)
6. SIGMA Malta (to be attended)

I guess that's a lot.

Most likely just SIGMA - haven't been to any conferences since 2019, time to catch up but slowly

[StefanBB]

I planned to attend the Sigma Belgrade conference, but unfortunately, I couldn't make it. Could someone share their experiences about this conference? Thanks in advance, cheers!

[Clobet Affiliates]

Really... only 2... but I am not sure if I will attend any next year... can't lose 4 days of work... it just throws me back in most cases at least.

[Windstorm]

Most likely just SIGMA too

[Pokerface]

Attended LAC, Sigma Toronto, SBC Barcelona and will attend Sigma Malta. Would like to attend more but far too busy.

[wonderpunter]

I used to go to many, since covid the novelty has worn off... though I expect to be at the London confrence

[PaulEchere]

Going to my first one ever (as an affiliate) in Malta in November.

[nwalker]

I'll do 4 - one a quarter. LAC, Amsterdam, a Malta one and G2E in Vegas.

In my opinion there are just too many and the value of attending is diminishing.

I'm getting invites all the time to attend conferences and they will pay all my expenses to get and stay there. While that's nice, this suggests to me there are too many conference and they are having trouble getting the affiliate footfall to some of them.

[chaumi]

I'd say share 'em out, Neil. But recognize that's not quite what they want, for obvious reasons!

[iubet]

I'm currently living in Brazil, so I won't make any conferences this year.

[jbo_online]

I will attend SIGMA for sure!

So in total that would be 2, including iNEXT

[topcanadiancasinos81]

I didn't attend any conference this year because of global instability (sure you know). But I hope that in November I will be able to visit SIGMA in Malta.

BTW those who consider attending SIGMA may find this interesting https://twitter.com/ZangooseD/status...52630498217984

For us only the Affiliate mess in Amsterdam and the comming SIGMA in Malta are interesting.

Is there already a group for Malta based affiliates to meet at SIGMA?
Would love to get into contact with some affilates in the industry.
