From registration and transportation to evening galas and local insights, this is all the information you need to successfully navigate the summit.
Venues and registration
The SMX Convention Centre, located in the busy Pasay district, will be the beating heart of the summit. Shuttle services will ensure seamless delegate mobility during the June 3rd and 4th exhibitions and keynote sessions.
There will be two locations for pre-registration:

Pre-summit highlights
Before the main summit begins, delegates can enjoy a curated schedule of pre-events. On 1st June, SiGMA hosts its Official Pre-Event Celebration at Uma Nota Manila, a stylish Latin-Asian restaurant perfect for informal introductions and cocktails.
The following morning offers a more contemplative experience with a guided Walking Tour of Smokey Mountain in Tondo. This rare opportunity provides delegates with direct engagement in grassroots initiatives, reflecting the SiGMA Foundation’s commitment to social responsibility.
Later that evening, the spotlight shifts to C-Lounge at Conrad Manila, where the Welcome Reception delivers an elegant sunset setting overlooking Manila Bay, followed by the PokerStars Tournament at Okada Manila, giving delegates a chance to engage in friendly competition.
Capping off the day is the highly anticipated SiGMA Asia Awards, taking place in the Forbes Ballroom of Conrad Manila, where industry excellence will be recognised in a gala ceremony. For more intimate networking, two iGathering dinners will run concurrently at Alba Restaurante Español and House of Wagyu Stone Grill, offering a choice between heritage dining and contemporary luxury.
