A complete ecosystem where operators, suppliers and decision makers will be able to discuss the latest innovations and trends that are transforming the market.

For the 2026 edition, Enada Primavera will once again bring together the three sectors that drive the evolution of the gaming and entertainment world under one roof: land based gaming, online gaming - which this year acquires a new impetus within the event - and the world of amusement, which ranges from arcade games, such as billiards, pinball and bowling, to the more modern virtual reality and laser game solutions, as well as technologies for recreational facilities such as parks and entertainment centres.

THE ENADA PRIMAVERA 2026 AGENDA

For the entire duration of the show, the Vision Arena will be hosting a series of talks and meetings on the sector’s most current topics, providing a space for discussion between operators and experts.

Scheduled for 2.30 pm on the first day, tomorrow 17^th March, the conference organised by IGE Magazine and entitled “Physical network and online channel: the reorganization of retail between Points of Sale for Recharges (PVRs), Awprs and new services” will feature an analysis of the public gaming situation in Italy and the evolution of the relationship between the physical and digital network. That will be followed at 4 pm with a talk on the development prospects of the entertainment sector entitled “Pure entertainment and the need to innovate: paragraph 7 towards the future”, organised by SAPAR.

In the following days, Enada Primavera’s conference program will address other key issues in the sector: from responsible gaming as a lever for consumer prevention and protection to the role of companies in the management and reorganisation of physical gaming, from digital payments to the ongoing transformation of the iGaming sector.

The 5^th edition of the JJP Pinball Fest Enada by Luxury Games tournament, organised in collaboration with IFPA Italia, will also be held during the days of the event.

Rimini, Italy, 6th February 2026 – From the 17th to the 19th of March, the gaming and amusement industry will meet once again at the Rimini Expo Centre for Enada Primavera 2026, the event organised by Italian Exhibition Group (IEG) and promoted by SAPAR (National Association of Services for Amusement and Recreational Public Attractions).

Now in its 38th edition, Enada Primavera continues to be an important meeting point for the international network of gaming machines and systems, as well as for an industry undergoing constant technological and regulatory evolution. Thanks to the involvement of companies, associations, media and operators, the event offers new opportunities for market interaction, professional dialogue and skills development.

“Enada remains one of the benchmark events for our sector and for the entrepreneurs who operate within it,” says Sergio D’Angelo, president of SAPAR. “The return to the exhibition area of a major player such as Novomatic is clear evidence of this: anyone wishing to talk about business, legal gaming and entertainment for the Italian market meets at Enada Primavera.”

“The partnership with SAPAR has always generated value for a sector that has been completely transformed over nearly 40 years of Enada Primavera’s history,” explains Andrea Ramberti, group exhibition manager of IEG’s Leisure & Entertainment Division. “Among the new features for 2026 is also a return to the roots: the amusement sector, which in recent editions was represented within the RAS event, is coming back under the historic Enada aegis.”

The Rimini event continues to strengthen its role as a strategic hub for bringing together qualified operators and leading Italian and international players. Particular attention is given to payment systems, security solutions and software for online gaming, confirming the event as a key reference point for the entire land-based and digital gaming supply chain.

Within the Enada Primavera exhibition area, space will also be dedicated to the amusement and non-cash entertainment sector, showcasing new products and solutions suitable for all age groups. The offering ranges from traditional attractions (from kiddie rides to inflatables, from pinball machines to table football) to the most advanced and innovative technologies.

The full programme and all information on Enada Primavera 2026 will be available in the coming days on the official website, which will feature a completely renewed layout: www.enada.it.
