SiGMA Euro-Med 2025 officially opened its doors in Malta on Monday, 1st September, welcoming thousands of delegates from across the globe to the Mediterranean’s leading iGaming and tech summit. The first day was bright and colourful, as the event struck an appropriate balance between wellness, culture, networking and recognition, giving delegates every opportunity to settle in and establish connections.
On the first morning of the summit, delegates and locals participated in the Wellness Morning on the panoramic Valletta Waterfront, organised by Gaming Malta and sponsored by Valletta Cruise Port and led by professional coaches from SportMalta. From 07:30hrs to 10:30hrs, delegates participated in sessions across wellness and fitness activities - with a focus on aerobics, guided stretching, and cardio, while enjoying healthy snacks and refreshments on the Valletta Waterfront promenade in Malta’s Grand Harbour.
The event was completely free, and a voluntary donation was encouraged, with all donations directed to the SiGMA Foundation’s school-building projects in Africa and the Richmond Foundation’s work in mental health advocacy. The spirit of the wellness morning was one of inclusion, with a further emphasis on team building among colleagues, as well as an essential message raising awareness of psychological and physical well-being.
Valletta Cruise Port was also generous in its sponsorship of the event, donating resources and hosting the event on the Valletta waterfront for the benefit of the greater community.
“As operators of Valletta Waterfront, we believe in creating spaces that bring people together, not just for leisure, but for purpose. Supporting initiatives like this one, which blend wellness, community, and meaningful impact, aligns perfectly with our values. We are proud to have hosted an event that not only celebrated movement and inclusivity, but also contributed to causes as vital as education for underserved communities and the promotion of mental well-being. Our thanks go to all the stakeholders and participants who made this day truly special,” commented Stephen Xuereb, COO Global Ports Holding and CEO Valletta Cruise Port.
This statement encapsulated the spirit of the morning: a celebration of movement, community, and collective contribution to causes that extend well beyond the gaming sector.
