Gaming industry professionals attending SiGMA World can earn up to 18 hours of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) credits over the course of the three-day event. The program applies to sessions held at Fiera Roma from November 3 to 5, 2026, with a maximum of 6 credits available per day.
This adds a dimension of professional development to the event, complementing its focus on industry discourse, networking, and business opportunities. The conference sessions offer attendees the chance to take a deep dive into various topics impacting the gaming business—from regulatory developments and operational challenges to emerging technologies and evolving market landscapes.
The CPD program provides attendees with a structured way to document their learning outcomes and integrate them into their broader professional development journey.
Professional Learning Across the Industry
Staying up to date with the gaming industry requires looking beyond mere news headlines. Regulatory requirements vary by jurisdiction; technology is constantly reshaping operational models; and business strategies must account for shifts in player behavior and market entry conditions.
These issues are relevant to a wide range of professionals. For instance, when considering entry into a new market, an operator’s approach to regulatory matters will differ from that of a compliance officer tasked with implementing the relevant rules. Similarly, a technology provider might focus more on leveraging new tools to optimize existing systems.
The conference agenda integrates these diverse perspectives, allowing delegates to gain insights from industry experts and explore topics directly pertinent to their own roles.
Reflecting the cross-industry nature of SiGMA World 2026, the CPD program extends beyond the gaming sector itself. It encompasses professional development across a variety of fields, including executive leadership, regulation, compliance, payments, technology, product innovation, market expansion, and affiliate marketing.
Delegates can explore these topics across five dedicated conference stages:
Main Stage: International market expansion, regulation, gaming operations, and industry leadership. Italy Stage: Focuses on Italy’s regulated gambling market, compliance, product innovation, and business development. AGS Stage: Covers affiliate marketing, traffic acquisition, search engine optimization (SEO), and performance marketing.
AIBC Stage: Explores artificial intelligence, blockchain, digital assets, and emerging technologies.
Global Finance Stage: Addresses financial services, FinTech, foreign exchange (Forex), payments, and liquidity.
Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is designed to help professionals acquire knowledge and skills to maintain and enhance their professional standards. At SiGMA World 2026, only sessions—such as presentations and discussions held on the conference stages—qualify for CPD credit; time spent visiting the exhibition floor, attending social events, or participating in business meetings does not count.
Attendees may claim up to 6 hours of CPD credit per day. The final number of hours will be determined based on attendance verification and the official CPD certification process.
How to Apply for CPD Credits
Attendees can express their interest in having their conference participation recognized for CPD certification via the dedicated SiGMA CPD webpage.
The application process begins with a short online form, which can be completed either before or during the summit. If you plan to attend conference sessions, please ensure you scan your event badge each time you enter a session venue.
Daily entry records will serve as proof of attendance. Following the event, SiGMA will cross-reference your application with your actual entry logs, and the iGaming Academy will issue the CPD certificates.
There is no need to check in for individual sessions; however, please note that CPD certification applies exclusively to learning content delivered on the conference stages and does not extend to other activities within the venue.
Should you require assistance with registration or the CPD application process, please visit the SiGMA College booth at the summit.
For gambling industry professionals planning to attend, this initiative offers yet another compelling reason to take a closer look at the conference agenda. In addition to networking and exchanging ideas in Rome, your participation in the conference—provided it meets the relevant criteria—can also count toward your professional learning record.
Attendees may submit an application via the dedicated CPD page on the SiGMA website.
