The prestigious Global Gaming Awards Asia Pacific 2024, which takes place on the 4th of June during SiGMA Asia week, has announced its full shortlist for the 11-category ceremony.
Held at the Conrad Manila Hotel ballroom, doors open 12:45pm, with the presentation ceremony running between 1:15pm to 2:00pm. A 3-course lunch will be served during the event.
The awards will recognise and reward the strongest performers from the Asia-Pacific gaming industry across the previous 12 months.
“Our event has a limited number of categories and a limited number of nominees (eight) per category, so to make it to the Shortlist is an achievement on its own,” commented Mariya Savova, Event Manager of the Global Gaming Awards.
“Last year, SiGMA proved that its Asia event is a must-attend one for anyone who does or wants to do business in the region.”
“We are extremely happy and grateful to the SiGMA team for giving the Global Gaming Awards Asia-Pacific a home. June can’t come soon enough,” she added.
