By Phil - 11 December 2015
Euromat, the European Gaming and Amusement Federation, has confirmed the Hotel Majestic in the historic centre of Barcelona as the venue for its 2nd Annual Gaming Summit on the May 26 2016.
Euromat’s President Eduardo Antoja said: “I’m really pleased to welcome Europe’s land-based gaming sector to my home city of Barcelona next year. The Euromat Gaming Summit is the only event dedicated to our industry. It’s a chance for industry peers to reflect, learn and prepare for changes in the market place or to regulation. Our programme for 2016 is rich with content and top-level speakers so we’re expecting lots of registrations.”
200 delegates will get a chance to hear about the latest commercial trends, challenges and opportunities from industry leaders. For the first time the Summit programme includes a panel session of regulators including Harrie Temmink, the European Commission’s lead policy official for gaming, as well as regulators from several major European markets including Carlos Hernandez Rivera from Spain and Peter Naessens from Belgium.
Other panel sessions this year include: What does convergence mean for the land-based gaming industry in Europe? Player tracking: Does it help to improve responsibility? Are manufacturers or operators driving the gaming machine market in Europe?
In 2015, the Summit took place in Amsterdam with top names such as CIRSA, JVH Gaming, Gauselmann, Löwen Entertainment and Merkur Interactive sponsoring and speaking.
