Greece – International Masters of Gaming Law postpones Athens conference
By Phil - 17 March 2020
Marc Ellinger, President of the International Masters of Gaming Law, has confirmed that the IMGL 2020 Spring Conference in Athens has been cancelled with the organisation hopeful of rescheduling a date for 2021.
Mr. Ellinger said: “The COVID-19 outbreak is causing significant travel concerns across the globe. From travel restrictions to physical quarantines, each nation has taken actions that cause disruption and concerns. Over the course of these events, the Executive Committee has been monitoring the governmental actions and the outbreak itself. As a result of the increasing spread of COVID-19 and the real restrictions on travel being imposed by major nations and many companies and firms, we have determined that the it is in the best interests of the IMGL to postpone the Athens Conference. We are working with the local committee, hotel management and venues, to try to reschedule for sometime in 2021. We, as a group, continue to believe that Athens is a venue that IMGL should visit for a future conference.
“For those who have already registered, you will have a full conference registration credit that can be used at anytime in the next two years for any IMGL conference. This will be a full conference credit and no additional funds will be required if the registration fee increases for a future conference.”
“I would encourage you to consider attending our Fall Conference in Boston, September 23-25, 2020, which will be a joint conference with the International Association of Gaming Regulators. It has been a difficult decision, but in the end it is the proper decision for the IMGL. As President, I am committed to growing the IMGL and to the quality of all our educational events, whether they be Conferences or IMGL Masterclasses.”
