IAG Academy was founded by Inside Asian Gaming (IAG) to advance professionalism and education within the land-based Integrated Resort industry and to recognize industry executives and their contributions.
As Asia’s leading B2B digital print media brand for Integrated Resort industry, IAG widely covers industry news, insights, opinion and analysis, publishing around 2,000 stories each year.
IAG has traditionally had three parts to its business – media, events and advisory services. Now, with the IAG Academy, we add a fourth – education.
IAG’s credentials for offering education and training services in the IR sector are second to none. Our team has deep domain industry knowledge from as far back as the 1980s, and IAG has been publishing its monthly magazine since 2005. We publish in English, Chinese and Japanese, and have been publishing our industry-leading daily email newsletter IAG Breakfast Briefing for nearly a decade.
In addition to IAG’s vast industry publishing experience, over the years IAG has been Lead Media Partner, Media Partner and Production Partner for dozens of leisure and gaming industry events, cementing our reputation as one of the sector’s most trusted and respected voices.
IAG also produces a wide range of thought-leadership initiatives and industry social events, including the Asian Gaming Power 50, The Industry Party, Macau After Dark, Manila After Dark, and numerous summits, awards and other special events.
The IAG Academy reflects IAG’s long-standing commitment to industry development, knowledge-sharing and professional recognition. An industry-focused learning initiative designed specifically for the integrated resort sector, the Academy provides structured, practical education that helps professionals of all levels enhance their knowledge in order to deliver high-quality guest experiences.
The Academy’s curriculum will be delivered via a flexible online learning platform built around short, focused modules. Individual modules combine to form learning tracks, and multiple tracks build into broader professional programs covering key areas of integrated resort operations such as Gaming, Hospitality and Enterprise functions.
Participants will be able to progress at their own pace, complete knowledge checks, and build a record of achievement as they advance through tracks and programs. Learners will be acknowledged for completed study through certificates and other forms of professional recognition.
The IAG Academy is currently in its development phase, with initial course structures, subject areas and delivery models being designed in consultation with experienced industry training professionals. The first release of online learning modules is planned as a staged rollout, allowing the platform to expand progressively over time.
Each year, in the second week of September, the Academy celebrates its two flagship gatherings — the IAG Academy Summit and the IAG Academy IR Awards — both held during the IAG EXPO. These events provide an opportunity for industry professionals to come together to exchange knowledge, highlight leadership and recognize individuals and organizations contributing to the advancement of the integrated resort industry.
