iGB LIVE 2026 – Innovation, Networking, and Latest Trends
About This Year’s Event
The prestigious annual iGB L!VE returns for 2026, bringing together the global iGaming industry at ExCel London from July 1 to July 2, 2026. Operators, affiliates, game providers, tech suppliers, investors, and innovators will once again gather to showcase new products, forge partnerships, and discuss the latest industry trends.
Our team attends the industry's biggest events throughout the year, and iGB L!VE was no exception. It gives us the chance to see new products firsthand, speak directly with operators, affiliates, and suppliers, and bring our readers insights that go beyond official announcements.
Following its successful relocation from Amsterdam in 2025, the event continues to strengthen London’s position as a major hub for the industry. According to the organizers, this year is expected to welcome 15,000+ attendees and feature 200+ exhibitors and sponsors.
