Following the debut edition in 2023, which laid the foundation of the tradition, and the<strong> \u201cBalkan Connection\u201d<\/strong> edition in 2024, which expanded the event\u2019s reach, the 2025 edition marks a key step towards international development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe third edition of the gala dinner goes beyond national and regional boundaries. It represents a step towards common standards, shared goals, and a European identity for the industry,\u201d said <strong>Stelian Dimitrov<\/strong>, PR of AOGGAB and founder of the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key Partnership with EUROMAT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After EUROMAT <strong>President<\/strong> <strong>Jason Frost<\/strong> attended as a special guest in 2024, this year the federation became an official partner of the event. Representatives of gaming associations from EUROMAT\u2019s network \u2013 including England, the Netherlands, Germany, Spain, Italy, Croatia, Romania and Serbia \u2013 are expected to join the official programme and ceremony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201cGolden Spade&#8217;s\u201d &#8211; A Symbol of Prestige<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>\u201cGolden Spade&#8217;s\u201d Awards<\/strong> are the heart of the evening. They are regarded as some of the most prestigious recognitions in the gaming business, and awarded companies and individuals use them as a tool for international positioning. In 2025, the award categories will be expanded to cover a broader range of achievements in the gaming sector. For the third consecutive year, a Special Award for Individual Contribution to the Industry will also be presented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>An Event with a Mission<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Gaming Industry Gala Dinner continues its consistent socially responsible mission. Once again, 20% of the value of each ticket will be donated to gambling addiction prevention, with the initiative already receiving support not only from expert organizations but also from public institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A European Experience<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year\u2019s edition will enhance the gala with artistic and cultural elements that reflect the spirit of Europe. The programme will include exclusive musical and stage performances, while the culinary menu will combine influences from various European cuisines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t forget to subscribe to our <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/sbceurasia\">Telegram channel<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The third edition of the Gaming Industry Gala Dinner will take place on 25 November 2025 at Hyatt Regency Sofia and is expected to be the largest so far.
