Leading B2B gaming and integrated resort industry media brand Inside Asian Gaming has announced it will host the first ever “Super September” at Manila’s Newport World Resorts from 12 to 14 September 2023, comprising the inaugural IAG Academy Summit and two exciting networking events.
This important addition to the Asian gaming industry’s annual calendar will kick off on the evening of Tuesday 12 September with the return of networking social Manila After Dark (MAD 18), to be held at The Grand Bar and Lounge at Newport World Resorts from 6:30pm to 9:30pm. This represents just the second ever edition of Manila After Dark following its debut at Okada Manila in April, with the event doubling as the evening Welcome Cocktails for the IAG Academy Summit kicking off the next morning.
Wednesday 13 and Thursday 14 September will see the maiden IAG Academy Summit take place in The Ballroom at Hilton Manila, Newport World Resorts. The IAG Academy Summit is a new two-day summit bringing together the best minds in the Asian gaming industry. With content developed by IAG’s Vice Chairman and CEO Andrew W Scott and Managing Editor Ben Blaschke, it will feature a range of speakers from across the region offering their insights by a range of methodologies. These will include traditional panels and presentations as well as more innovative formats never before witnessed at industry trade shows in Asia.

Another exciting component of the week’s schedule will be the IAG Academy IR Awards, a black tie gala to be held in The Ballroom at Hilton Manila, Newport World Resorts on the evening of Wednesday 13 September (day 1 of the Summit). More details on these awards, including the 20 awards categories, will be announced in the very near future.
The launch of the IAG Academy Summit and the IAG Academy IR Awards follows a recently announced rebranding of the former Integrated Resorts Academy Asia as the IAG Academy – bringing the strength of the IAG brand to the Academy and recognizing IAG’s more APAC-wide and less Macau-centric focus.
Further initiatives of the IAG Academy will be unveiled in due course.
