Asia Gaming Brief (AGB), the organizer of ASEAN Gaming Summit, have announced they will forego this year’s edition of the ASEAN Gaming Summit and return in March 2027 with a revamped, packed version of the event.

The increasingly volatile geopolitical outlook, prompting states of emergency across the 🌎, and the increased cost of international travel, has led AGB to reconsider hosting the summit in 2026.

Patrons had previously requested that the organizers postpone the event from the traditional March slot to May. While 2026 would mark the 8th edition of the premier high-networking industry conference in the region since its inception in 2017, that anniversary will now take place next year.

“Instead of eroding the industry in 2026, we’re breaking the cycle by taking a proactive stance and using the opportunity to reshape the ASEAN experience in March 2027,” said Luis Pereira, Managing Director of Asia Gaming Brief.

AGB’s focus is now to reinvigorate and augment the key elements that make up the ASEAN experience:

• Personalized networking opportunities, curated individually prior to the event, to enhance and encourage business matching.
• A range of consultancy services for both new businesses and established enterprises, to be on offer on the ground to streamline procedural challenges.
• The international conference, to provide the platform for stakeholders to discuss the industry’s strategy across the region’s evolving frameworks.
• Workshops series, to delve into operational challenges and practical solutions.
• Limited showcases, allowing patrons direct engagement with delegates and visitors.

“As organizers, we’re excited to have the time and resources allocated to develop an event a step ahead of the curve. The team is engaged with the challenge!” Luis Pereira added.

The ASEAN Gaming Summit will return on March 15-17, 2027.
