Episode Synopsis
In this episode, I sit down with Eman Pulis, the visionary founder of the SiGMA Group, a global media and events company focused on the gaming and emerging technology sectors.
Since its inception in 2014, SiGMA has rapidly evolved from a small, niche event to a global powerhouse. The brand redefined itself through rebranding initiatives, strategic acquisitions, and the establishment of new pillars, such as SiGMA Foundation and Ikigai Ventures.
Catering to over 1,200 exhibitors and 80,000 industry delegates, SiGMA Group hosts 7 international summits today, as well as 30 ancillary networking events annually - including poker tournaments and iGatherings.
From humble beginnings in Malta to building a global events powerhouse, Eman shares his remarkable journey of resilience, risk-taking, and reinvention.
