Three Days in Bangkok
The agenda splits cleanly across three days. Day one, Wednesday 5 August, opens with the SPiCE Breaker Welcoming Evening and the SPiCE Southeast Asia Eventus Awards Ceremony, spotlighting the region’s standout achievements. Day two, Thursday 6 August, turns to the mechanics of the industry: regulatory frameworks in practice, operational infrastructure, unifying know your customer, anti money laundering, and fraud compliance, responsible participation, and strategic intelligence for identifying risk before it surfaces.
Day three, Friday 7 August, shifts to strategy and people: localisation and audience design, AI as a strategic enabler, workforce development, and practical marketing in regulated markets, closing with a synthesis session on sustainable growth. The Landmark Bangkok gives the event a professional setting built for high level dialogue, at the heart of one of Asia’s most connected business capitals.
Who Is Speaking
Confirmed speakers span the industry’s ecosystem. They include Anne Maree Quarmby, Chief Operating Officer at Intelligence Rising; Bongkotkan Chumsai Na Ayudhya, Counsel at Kudun and Partners; Evan Spytma, Chief Executive Officer at C Plus; Lau Kok Keng, Head of Intellectual Property, Sports and Gaming at Rajah and Tann Singapore LLP; and Troy Nyi Nyi, Senior Vice President and General Manager for APAC at SEON, alongside many more industry leaders.
K36 Joins as Sponsor and Exhibitor
K36 describes itself as a professional B2B platform provider built for platform operators, offering back office management alongside compliance and security infrastructure. Asked to sum up the company’s mission in a single sentence, the team said: “K36 is a technology partner dedicated to delivering speed, security, and stability, empowering operators with a reliable platform to achieve sustainable growth.”
Regulatory navigation is a defining theme on this year’s agenda, and K36 described how it helps operators stay ahead of shifting compliance landscapes: “We believe compliance and competitiveness go hand in hand. Strong compliance builds long term trust and sustainable growth. We work closely with our partners to adapt to evolving regulatory requirements, providing the technology, support, and operational flexibility they need to stay compliant while maintaining a competitive edge.”
Where the AI Investment Is Going
K36 has committed 30 percent of its revenue to AI research and development. Asked what long term breakthrough that investment targets, the team pointed to security rather than growth metrics: “Our highest priority is platform security. While AI has unlocked tremendous opportunities, it has also introduced unprecedented cybersecurity challenges that can directly impact operators and their businesses. Our investment in AI is focused on building advanced defensive capabilities, ensuring our partners can operate with confidence and concentrate on growing their business while K36 safeguards the technology behind it.”
On localisation across Southeast Asia’s varied markets, K36 pointed to its track record: “Localisation is one of K36’s core strengths. Having supported successful operators across multiple markets for many years, we have accumulated extensive market expertise and proven operational practices. New partners can leverage our mature platform, localised solutions, and industry experience to considerably reduce their learning curve and accelerate market success.” With a growing presence across Southeast Asia and Latin America, the company says its immediate priority remains strengthening its technological foundation for the AI era.
Limited Slots Remain
K36 will be on site at The Landmark Bangkok throughout the event, ready to discuss platform resilience, AI powered security, and localisation with partners looking to scale responsibly across the region. With one month to go, organizers say a limited number of sponsorship and exhibition packages remain, offering direct access to senior decision makers across the region’s regulated entertainment industry.
