Inside Asian Gaming has confirmed that the 2026 IAG Academy IR Awards Black Tie Gala Dinner, taking place on the evening of Tuesday 15 September, is officially SOLD OUT!
The IAG Academy IR Awards form part of the IAG EXPO, which also comprises the CiG iDEA Summit, welcome event Manila After Dark, the IAG Academy Summit and The Regulators Forum.
To be held in the Marriott Manila Ballroom at Manila’s Newport World Resorts, the Gala Dinner will see the winners of 26 Awards categories announced, alongside the latest inductees into the IAG Hall of Fame, which comprises three Rising Stars, three Industry Icons and the prestigious Industry Legend award.
Established in 2024, the Hall of Fame Industry Legend award is the most prestigious accolade within the IAG Hall of Fame, with just one person being inducted per year. In 2024 and 2025, the lone inductees were Ciarán Carruthers and Dennis Andreaci, respectively. In 2026 a third inductee will join them, with the five nominees being Grant Bowie, Linda Chen, Dr Rui José da Cunha, Robert Goldstein and Ken Jolly.
Due to exceptionally high demand, the 2026 IAG Academy IR Awards Black Tie Gala Dinner will seat a record 355 guests, with every seat in the house now accounted for and a waiting list already in place and growing.
IAG would like to thank its sponsors for the 2026 IAG Academy IR Awards, namely Newport World Resorts as Venue Sponsor, Light & Wonder as Entertainment Sponsor, and Angel, Aristocrat Gaming, Bally’s Colombo, Hann Resorts, Hoiana Resort & Golf, IGT, Interblock and Solaire as our eight Gold Sponsors.
