Alea returns to NEXT.io Valletta with Alexandre Tomic joining key industry discussions
Alea is returning to NEXT.io Valletta from May 26th to 28th, with Founder Alexandre Tomic taking part in several sessions focused on leadership, regulation, and the future direction of the iGaming industry.
The week begins on May 26th during NEXT Focus: Start-Up & Investor Day, where Alexandre will join the panel “Founders Anonymous – The Conversations That Don’t Make the Press Release.” The discussion will focus on the realities behind building companies, from fundraising and acquisitions to the difficult decisions founders face as businesses grow.
On May 27th, Alexandre will also moderate “The Day the Lights Go Out,” an interactive keynote built around a simulated regulatory crisis scenario, challenging industry leaders to react live to the sudden shutdown of major markets.
Later that day, he will present “The World Under One Lens,” a keynote exploring how behavioural data at an aggregator scale is reshaping the industry’s understanding of player behaviour, game performance, and global market trends.
Beyond the conference stage
Alongside the conference agenda, Alea will once again sponsor the Ice Bath & Yoga/Breathwork session on the morning of May 26th, led by world-record open water swimmer Neil Agius.
The session has become one of the more unique traditions surrounding the event week, giving attendees a slower start before the pace of the conference takes over.
That same evening, Alea and NEXT.io will host an exclusive CXO dinner at Contessa Restaurant inside The Phoenicia Malta, where selected industry leaders will meet for an evening of conversation, vegetarian dining, cocktails, and live music ahead of the conference opening.
Supporting the Malta community
To close the week, Alea will also attend the BGaming Charity Gala on May 29th in support of DAR Bjorn, the Maltese neurological home founded by ALS advocate Bjorn FormMosa.
“I came to the DAR Bjorn gala last year not knowing very much about Bjorn or the foundation. And then I saw him there, in his bed, while we were all standing on our two legs having a good time. That changes you.
You can’t unsee it. We take so much for granted, the body working, getting up in the morning, walking across the room. Bjorn is fighting for all of that and still showing up. I’m coming back because I believe I have to. If you’re in Malta that week and you’re on the fence, come. There’s something about that room that stays with you,” said Alexandre Tomic, Founder of Alea.
Representing Alea in Malta will be Alexandre Tomic alongside members of the company’s Business Development, Partnerships, Account Management, and Marketing teams.

Alea receives two nominations at the SiGMA Europe Awards 2026
Alea, the igaming aggregattor, has been shortlisted in two categories at the upcoming SiGMA Europe Awards 2026, taking place on May 27th at the Malta Casino during one of the busiest weeks of the iGaming calendar.
The company has been nominated for Creative Excellence 2026 and Best Aggregator 2026.
The recognition comes during a year of continued growth for Alea, as the company expands its aggregation platform across global markets while continuing to invest in product development, infrastructure, and international expansion.
A Strong Presence Across NEXT.io Valletta
The awards also coincide with NEXT.io Valletta, where Alea will have a strong presence both on stage and across several side events taking place throughout the week.
Founder Alexandre Tomic will join the panel “Founders Anonymous – The Conversations That Don’t Make the Press Release,” focused on the realities behind building companies, from difficult decisions to fundraising and acquisitions.
On May 27th, Alexandre will also moderate “The Day the Lights Go Out,” an interactive keynote built around a simulated regulatory crisis scenario challenging industry leaders to react in real time to the sudden loss of major markets.
Later that same day, he will present “The World Under One Lens,” a keynote exploring what aggregation-scale data reveals about how the world actually plays: which markets are growing faster than expected, how player behaviour differs across regions, and why some of the industry’s biggest assumptions no longer match reality.
Beyond the Conference Floor
Alongside the conference agenda, Alea will once again sponsor the Ice Bath & Yoga/Breathwork session led by Neil Agius ahead of the event opening, as well as co-host an exclusive CXO dinner together with NEXT.io at Contessa Restaurant inside The Phoenicia Malta.
To close the week, Alea will also attend the BGaming Charity Gala in support of DAR Bjorn, continuing the company’s involvement in community initiatives taking place across the Malta event week.
