NEXT Summit: Valletta 2027

NEXT Summit: Valletta 2027 takes place on May 26–27, 2027 at the Mediterranean Conference Centre, a 16th-century building in Valletta. Run by the NEXT.io team, it is an operator-led iGaming summit for operators, suppliers, affiliates, regulators and investors, held during Malta's week of industry meetings.

Around the two main days, the organiser adds pre-registration networking on May 25 and side events on May 24–25, including NEXT Focus Crypto on blockchain payments and compliance. The previous edition attracted around 6,000 delegates, with operators making up a large share of the audience.

Who should attend

PSPs, crypto-payment and compliance providers looking for iGaming operators as merchants, and affiliates seeking operator deals. The focus on operators makes it efficient for payment sales teams.

Tickets and access

Affiliates and operators can apply for a free pass, granted after approval. Which networking events are included depends on the pass type; paid tickets are sold on tickets.next.io.
