The inaugural iGA Summit welcomed more than 3,300 delegates from over 100 countries,
featured more than 100 speakers across two stages, and hosted spectacular exhibitions
that brought together operators, regulators, investors and technology providers from
across Africa and beyond.

“We are coming back bigger and stronger than ever before. Building on the tremendous
success of our past edition, we are committed to organizing the best gaming event in
Africa, not just in terms of size, but in quality and impact,” said Jeremiah Maangi, CEO of
iGaming AFRIKA. “Our goal is to set a new standard for excellence in the industry,
bringing together top minds, innovations, and opportunities the continent has to offer.”
The 2027 edition will focus on achieving sustainable growth for Africa’s gaming industry
by aligning with global developments in regulation, technology, advertising and
marketing, payments, crypto, responsible gaming, community empowerment and esports,
drawing on insights and data from the worldwide development of the gaming sector.

“Africa is no longer an emerging gaming market, it is one of the industry’s fastest-
growing frontiers. iGA Summit exists to connect the people, ideas and investments that will shape the next chapter of that growth, and we’re excited to welcome an even broader international audience in 2027,” said Maangi.

Building on the momentum of the inaugural edition, iGA Summit 2027 will expand its
global footprint by attracting a broader mix of C-suite executives, regulators, investors
and technology providers while welcoming delegates from more than 120 countries.
Organisers have also secured additional exhibition space to accommodate a growing
roster of exhibitors.

The iGA Summit Organising Committee said feedback from the inaugural edition has been
instrumental in shaping plans for the 2027 summit.
“iGA Summit has always been built by the industry, for the industry. The feedback we
received from our inaugural edition has become the foundation of our planning for 2027.
By listening to our community and acting on their recommendations, we are confident
that the next edition will deliver an even richer experience and create greater value for all
stakeholders across Africa’s gaming ecosystem.” The Organizing Committee said.

The decision, issued by the 18th Federal Civil Court of the Federal District, prevents Spribe from relying on the exclusivity rights arising from Brazilian trademark registration No. 501759803 until a final judgment is rendered.

The ruling follows legal action brought by Aviator Studio Brazil, which demonstrated that the Aviator trademark had been created and used years before Spribe obtained trademark protection in Brazil. The court acknowledged evidence showing that the Aviator brand originated in Georgia in 2016 and was formally registered there in 2018, years before Spribe’s Brazilian registration.

Importantly, the court also took note of previous judicial decisions in Georgia that invalidated Spribe’s registration of the Aviator trademark and confirmed the rights of the original trademark owner.

“This decision represents an important step in protecting the Aviator brand and enforcing intellectual property rights internationally. In practical terms, this means that, until the final resolution of the Spribe’s trademark invalidation proceedings, Spribe will no longer be able to continue it’s disruptive practices against operators, including sending threatening letters or initiating legal actions related to the use of Aviator Studio’s trademark.” comments George Pruidze, CEO of Aviator Studio. “We remain committed to defending the integrity of the Aviator brand and ensuring that its legitimate ownership is recognized across all jurisdictions.”

Aviator Studio will continue pursuing all available legal measures to safeguard its intellectual property rights and protect the integrity of the Aviator trademark worldwide.
