An Evening to Remember: SiGMA iGathering at Pipa Club
To wrap up the day, we attended the SiGMA iGathering at the exclusive Pipa Club. It was an evening of drinks, tapas, and fantastic conversations in an intimate, vibrant atmosphere. As one of the sponsors, we were proud to support such a special event that brought together industry leaders and innovators.

What’s Next for ICE and iGB?
Exciting changes are already planned for 2026!
