iGathering brings all-white elegance to Malta ahead of SiGMA Euro-Med
Ahead of one of Malta’s most significant iGaming events of the season, industry leaders gathered at Med‑Connect: Summer Edition, a distinguished SiGMA iGathering powered by BETCONSTRUCT. Held at the glamorous Cabana Club atop the Meliá Hotel in St. Julian’s, the occasion delivered elevated networking against panoramic Mediterranean views.
All‑white elegance sets the standard
Guests arrived in elegant all-white ensembles, adhering to a dress code that amplified the event’s summery atmosphere. The uniform palette not only enhanced the visual cohesion of the rooftop setting but also contributed to a light, sophisticated tone that complemented the season and the open-air venue.
The feedback speaks for itself
The event earned an outstanding 4.9/5 rating from 37 participants, with attendees praising everything from the atmosphere to the execution. “Best iGathering so far. Keep it up!” said one guest, while another highlighted the “beautiful and classy setting, food and drink were plentiful and excellent.” Many described it as “the perfect way to meet old and new faces” with “great music, excellent service, and lovely networking opportunities.” While a few noted the bar queues could be improved, the consensus remained overwhelmingly positive; this was a high-calibre affair that set a new standard for pre-summit engagements.
Networking at the core
Beyond the scenic views and curated ambience, Med‑Connect: Summer Edition remained true to its core purpose, connecting professionals across the iGaming ecosystem. The informal rooftop setting allowed for fluid, high-quality interactions among operators, suppliers, affiliates, and service providers. With no formal agenda or rigid structure, the evening encouraged organic dialogue, the exchange of ideas, and the reinforcement of existing relationships ahead of a packed summit week. The edition underlined SiGMA’s ability to merge elegance with substance. It delivered sophisticated networking, immersive entertainment, and opportunities for meaningful dialogue.
Food, drink, and live music
From the outset, attendees savoured an array of gourmet finger food and flowing drinks. Musical performances commenced with an intimate singer and guitarist duet, later transitioning into a live violinist’s set as well as a DJ, as evening descended, crafting a refined, sensory-rich experience. The live music was enhanced by performers around the pool, also wearing white outfits with angel wings. Adding a playful flair to the evening, a live caricature artist was also on hand for part of the event, capturing guests in ink with charming, personalised illustrations that many took home as keepsakes. Perched on the rooftop pool deck of Mercury Tower, the Cabana Club offered an exclusive environment for high-level engagement. With luxurious lounge areas and sweeping views over St. Julian’s, the setting provided an indulgent yet professional backdrop.
