21

SiGMA Europe 2024 kicks off on 11th November in Malta, and it’s shaping up to be one of the biggest iGaming conferences yet! This essential guide will help you survive and thrive at the event, packed with everything from networking tips to must-try Maltese food. Let’s dive in!

Dress to Impress

SiGMA Europe is no ordinary conference. Opt for sharp suits or stylish outfits that make a memorable impression. With Malta’s mild November weather, lightweight, breathable fabrics like linen are ideal for looking polished throughout the day.

Bring an Adapter

Malta uses Type G plugs. Avoid a dead battery crisis by packing an adapter, especially if your gadgets are essential for networking.

Comfortable Shoes Are Key

The SiGMA expo floor is massive, so you’ll cover plenty of ground. Comfortable shoes are a must if you want to avoid a foot massage after every hour!

The Art of Networking

Perfect Your Elevator Pitch

A concise, punchy summary of your work can make all the difference. Imagine summarizing your expertise in a few sentences while riding an elevator. This will help you stand out during quick introductions.

Bring Business Cards

Business cards are still alive and kicking in 2024! Add a QR code or memorable tagline to make yours unique and keep you top-of-mind.

Wear Your Badge Right

Attach your badge on the right side, making it easy for others to glance at your name without awkward moments. First impressions matter!

Navigating the Expo Floor

Map Out Coffee Stations

Knowing where to get a caffeine boost is essential. Plus, coffee stations are great spots for spontaneous networking.

Select Sessions Wisely

SiGMA offers a vast array of sessions. Choose a mix of hot industry topics and innovative, disruptive themes to stay ahead in the game.

Choose Swag Wisely

Not all swag is created equal. Avoid bulky items that could raise customs issues and choose practical items instead.

Embrace Malta’s Culture

Expect Flexible Timing

Malta operates on “island time,” which means schedules can be flexible. Use any extra time to grab an espresso or network a bit more.

Learn a Few Local Words

While English is widely spoken, knowing a few Maltese words like “Grazzi” (thank you) or “Bonġu” (good morning) can earn you friendly smiles.

Try Kinnie

Kinnie is a unique local drink that’s an acquired taste. You may love it or not, but it’s a part of the experience!

Surviving the After-Parties

Pace Yourself

The nightlife at SiGMA is lively! Stick to a steady pace and remember to hydrate between cocktails.

Master the Irish Exit

If you have an early start, perfect the art of quietly slipping away from the party. You’ll thank yourself the next morning.

Know Your Dance Limits

If you’re still on the dance floor at 2 a.m., it might be time to call it a night (or at least grab some water).

Adapting to Malta’s Weather

November in Malta is mild, but the conference halls can be chilly. Dress in layers so you’re comfortable both inside and out.

Fuel Up with Maltese Food

Pastizzi

These flaky pastries, filled with cheese or mushy peas, are dangerously addictive! A must-try for food lovers.

Seafood Delights

Malta’s fresh seafood is exceptional. Treat yourself to local dishes and enjoy the island’s culinary treasures.

Savor Imqaret

Finish a meal with these date-filled pastries, ideally paired with a strong espresso. A sweet taste of Malta you won’t forget!

Handling Surprises

Tech Trouble? Go with Humor

If a presentation won’t load, lighten the moment with a little humor. It can save you and keep the audience engaged.

Unexpected Naps

A “power nap” mid-conference? It happens! Embrace it and spin it as a productivity booster.

Lost in Jargon? Nod and Smile

If you’re caught in buzzword-heavy conversations, just nod and ask them to “explain how they’re leveraging synergies.” Works like a charm!
