The iGB Live! Conference is scheduled for July 6-7 at the RAI Amsterdam, featuring 46 expert speakers from the industry. Attendees can look forward to a series of panel discussions, keynote speeches, and fireside chats aimed at providing valuable business insights. Naomi Barton, the portfolio director for the iGB brand, noted that the presence of tribal leaders at the conference, particularly highlighted by Ernie Stevens, will bolster market access growth throughout the U.S. Barton praised her team for successfully gathering many influential figures in the industry to share their perspectives.
The conference will welcome notable speakers such as Ernie Stevens, chairman of the Indian Gaming Association, and Victor Rocha, editor of Pechanga.net and president of Victor Strategies. According to Barton, tribal casinos account for over half of U.S. gaming revenues and play a crucial role in accessing markets across numerous North American states, many of which are in various stages of regulation.
A wide array of topics will be covered during the event, including the black market, advertising restrictions in the Netherlands, and advancements in AI, the Metaverse, NFTs, and cryptocurrency. Barton highlighted specific sessions focused on mobile user experience in the U.S. market, how Ontario’s regulatory model can inspire innovative marketing strategies in other regulated areas, and a discussion on the UK’s anticipated gambling white paper, which will feature Wes Himes, executive director at the Betting and Gaming Council.
Barton concluded by emphasizing that delegates expect strong, relevant, and engaging content from industry experts, stating that the conference program promises to meet those expectations and will likely be one of the year's two most informative events. The broader iGB Live! event will take place from July 5-8 at the RAI Amsterdam.
