Southeast Asia’s premier gaming executive retreat.
Vietnam 2026.

The HOT100 is Winna Media’s flagship gaming executive retreat — an invitation-only, four-day event that brings together Southeast Asia’s gaming elite. Deliberately small. Deliberately exclusive. We built it around one simple belief: the best business relationships are forged away from the conference hall.

Furthermore, HOT100 Vietnam 2026 follows successful editions in Vietnam, Bangkok, and Thailand. As a result, this gaming executive retreat returns to Southeast Asia’s most dynamic market at exactly the right moment — as Vietnam reaches an inflexion point in gaming regulation and market development.

The venue remains a secret, disclosed only to confirmed attendees.

This is not a conference.
It’s a completely different proposition.

Here is why the HOT100 gaming executive retreat in Vietnam delivers results that no conference can match.

01

Quality Over Volume

Every delegate is a decision-maker. Consequently, you will not find a more concentrated group of senior gaming decision-makers anywhere in Southeast Asia. No junior staff, no tyre-kickers — just the people who move markets.

02

Unforced Conversations

Golf, dinners, and excursions create the conditions where relationships form naturally. Moreover, people feel relaxed, open, and free from the pressures of their day-to-day. The introductions happen at the bar, not the booth.

03

Four Days of Access

The four-day programme creates more meaningful contact time than a year of trade show appearances. Therefore, you will leave with real relationships — not just business cards.

04

Vietnam’s Gaming Moment

Vietnam currently sits at an inflexion point in gaming regulation and market development. As a result, HOT100 2026 brings together the people shaping that story — operators, investors, suppliers and promoters — at exactly the right moment.

Four days.
Every hour counts.

The HOT100 Vietnam 2026 gaming executive retreat follows the proven four-day format. Full details will be confirmed closer to the event.

What senior gaming executives said about HOT100 Thailand 2025

Seamless logistics, a relaxed 5★ setting, and a thoughtfully balanced mix of operators, suppliers, and investors made conversations easy and productive. Roundtables were concise, matching was on point, and I left with meaningful connections and clear next steps. Would gladly return.

Jeremy Kok
Senior Manager, Operations Finance — OKBet

The boutique size is what everyone loved — we had time to actually get to know each other. I think many deals were done, and many friendships built. These types of events are much more appreciated than the massive ones where everything is speed dating.

Jonas af Klinteberg
CEO — Red Beard Consulting

I thoroughly enjoyed the event — it was everything promised. A large group of high-quality people with the right attitude and a relaxed atmosphere in which to enjoy both business and the social side of things. The low-key but highly organised approach was perfectly pitched.

Michael Charlton
Former Head of Asia — Entain

It was an excellent gathering of thought leaders and business alumni. Networking and business opportunities were excellent, organisation perfect, and the location was stunning.

Paul Foster
CEO — Crucial Compliance

Superb work from the team curating a fun, engaging event that was interesting, educational, and provided great networking opportunities. 10/10 would absolutely attend again.

Jeffrey Haas
Chairman — Blask

Best experience of 2025 by far. Looking forward to 2026.

Keith Zammit
CEO — Elevate.ai

Everything you need
to know.

What is the HOT100?

The HOT100 is an exclusive gaming executive retreat for senior leaders in the Asian gaming industry, produced by Winna Media. Specifically, it brings together 100 executives over four days at a five-star resort in Vietnam, featuring relaxed networking, sporting activities, business sessions, and exceptional hospitality.

In total, this is our fourth edition — previous events have been held in Vietnam and Thailand in 2024 and 2025.

Who attends?

Delegates are senior executives from across the gaming industry — casino operators, sportsbooks, affiliates, investors, platform providers and aggregators, game suppliers, payment companies, and technology providers. All participants must hold executive-level positions.

Additionally, we maintain a careful balance between buy-side and sell-side, so that everyone gets a valuable experience.

How is HOT100 different from a conference?

In short, there are no exhibition halls, keynote stages or badge-scanning booths. The entire four days are the networking. Golf, dinners, roundtables and 1-to-1 meetings at a five-star resort create the conditions where real relationships form — not just business card exchanges.

As a result, the boutique size means you actually get to know people, rather than spending four days speed-dating your way around an expo floor.

Why Vietnam?

Vietnam is one of Southeast Asia’s most dynamic gaming markets, with regulation continuing to develop and investor interest growing. We held our first HOT100 at the Hoiana Golf & Resort in Quang Ninh province in 2024, and we’re delighted to be returning for 2026.

In other words, it feels like exactly the right moment to bring the industry together there.

Where is the venue?

The event takes place at a five-star resort with a golf course in Vietnam. However, we share the venue details with confirmed attendees only.

Why is the venue kept secret?

We keep the venue secret to ensure maximum privacy and security for our delegates. Moreover, everyone finds out at the same time — when they confirm their place.

How do I apply to attend?

We apply strict entrance criteria for HOT100 delegates. To be considered, get in touch with Rosalind Wade directly at rozwade@winnamedia.com or +44 (0)7717 539509. Winna Media reserves the right of final approval on all attendees.

What does the ticket price include?

Your ticket covers return transfers from the arrival city to the resort, three nights’ accommodation, all meals and drinks throughout the event, and all activities. Please note that flights are not included.

How many people can attend from my company?

Non-sponsors may send one representative. In addition, sponsors may send up to two company representatives, plus invited guests, depending on their package.

What sponsorship opportunities are available?

There is a range of exclusive sponsorship packages available, from Headline Sponsor through to individual event moments such as the Golf Tournament, Welcome Dinner, Farewell Dinner, Lanyards and more. For full details, contact Rosalind Wade at rozwade@winnamedia.com.

What is the Winna Club?

The Winna Club is an invitation-only membership that extends the HOT100 experience throughout the year. Benefits include access to industry dinners, regular intelligence briefings, a private member directory, and discounts on sponsorship packages.

Furthermore, HOT100 sponsors and attendees are eligible to join. Find out more at winnamedia.com.

I have a question that isn’t answered here.

iGaming Republic

iGaming Republic started with a simple idea: the gambling industry works better when people talk to each other.

We bring together operators, suppliers, regulators, and players to share experiences, exchange ideas, and build a genuine sense of community. As an independent platform, we tell stories honestly and offer a fair view of what’s really happening across the global iGaming industry.

We’re not a traditional newspaper — we’re a modern publishing and media distribution network built for a digital-first world. Our mission is to make industry information move faster, reach farther, and spark better conversations.

Our focus comes down to three things:

  • Sharing stories about the people and projects shaping iGaming.
  • Distributing insight and research that reveal the bigger picture.
  • Creating spaces where the industry connects, learns, and grows together.

We follow the highest editorial standards and believe in telling the truth — never skewing reality to push a narrative. With 25+ years of combined iGaming experience, we understand the industry’s nuances and bring that knowledge to every piece of content we share.

We’re a young, driven team determined to reshape how media flows through the iGaming sector. Crypto-savvy and insight-led, we bridge the gap between traditional gaming and the fast-evolving digital economy.

At our core, we care about openness, responsibility, and progress. iGaming Republic isn’t here to sell a vision — we’re here to amplify the conversation and help the industry connect.
