The original announcement also mentions Newport World Resorts in relation to the 2026 edition; Inside Asian Gaming’s official communication pairs that reference with the specific location of the gala at the Manila Marriott. The evening session combined networking elements with the formal awards presentation in a ceremony the organiser described as prestigious.
