New “Woman of Influence Award” Announced for iGaming News Awards 2026 Ahead of International Women’s Day
Launched to coincide with International Women's Day and Women's History Month, the new Woman of Influence Award will highlight the outstanding impact women are making across the global iGaming sector.
The iGaming News Awards, sponsored by GR8 Tech, has announced the introduction of a brand-new category for 2026 to celebrate the achievements of women working across the industry.
Launched to coincide with International Women's Day and Women's History Month, the new Woman of Influence Award will highlight the outstanding impact women are making across the global iGaming sector.
The iGaming News Awards 2026 are proudly sponsored by GR8 Tech, with the newly introduced Woman of Influence Award category specifically sponsored by Press Box PR, the official Women in iGaming partner of the awards.
The new category has been created to recognise women who are demonstrating exceptional leadership, innovation and influence within the industry. From senior executives and entrepreneurs to rising leaders driving progress across technology, marketing, operations and product development, the award aims to spotlight individuals making a meaningful contribution to the continued growth and evolution of the sector.
By introducing the category during Women’s History Month, the organisers aim to further highlight the importance of recognising the role women play in shaping the future of the global iGaming industry and ensuring their achievements receive the visibility they deserve.
The Woman of Influence Award has been created to celebrate those who are leading from the front — whether that’s through innovation, leadership or helping to inspire the next generation of talent entering the sector.
Abigail Moses, Editor of the iGaming News, said:
“There are so many exceptional women working across this industry, and this award gives us the opportunity to shine a spotlight on the individuals whose influence is driving real progress and change.”
Nominees for the Woman of Influence Award will be officially announced on International Women’s Day, 9 March, shining a spotlight on the inspiring women making a significant impact across the industry.
The winner will be revealed in July 2026 at iGB Live in London, where leaders, innovators and rising stars from across the sector will come together to celebrate excellence across the global iGaming community.
