Denmark – IAGR’s Copenhagen conference shaping up nicely
By Phil - 26 June 2018
This year’s International Association of Gaming Regulators (IAGR) Annual Conference is shaping up to be a truly international affair with a focus on collaborative regulation within an increasingly global landscape. The Conference will take place at the Hotel Scandic Copenhagen from September 17 to 20 2018.
Confirmed speakers and panel members so far include representatives from Australia, Canada, Denmark, Norway, Singapore, United Kingdom and the USA – all selected to provide expertise in areas such as gaming and gambling regulation, law enforcement, industry, the media and academia.
Topics for presentation and discussion cover the full range of gaming and gambling issues: sanctions; payment blocking; self-regulation; sports betting in Africa and the USA; loot boxes and skins; problem gambling; crisis and emergency management within a casino perspective; e-sports, and bonuses.
IAGR President Dale Fuga, Chief Operating Officer of the Liquor and Gaming Authority of Manitoba in Canada said: “IAGR’s Annual Conference has a growing reputation for providing an international forum in which colleagues with regulatory interests in gaming and gambling come together to share issues and best practice. Our world of gaming and gambling regulation is an ever-changing landscape, where technological advances bring both excitement and pleasure to gamers and gamblers – and challenges to those responsible for regulating in this environment. This year’s Conference promises to provide stimulating and informative content to all those attending.”
Each year IAGR circumnavigates the globe, bringing its Annual Conference to a different continent. This September, it is Europe’s turn with Copenhagen, Denmark’s capital city, hosting proceedings. Delegates attending the Conference will be given the opportunity to enjoy just some of what the beautiful City of Copenhagen has to offer, including a canal tour, a Reception at the City’s Town Hall and a Gala Dinner at H.C. Andersen Castle at Tivoli Gardens.
