The International Association of Gaming Advisors (IAGA) will hold its 42nd International Gaming Summit at The Ritz-Carlton Berlin, from June 9th to June 12th, 2025.
The Summit will provide operators, suppliers, attorneys, investors, bankers, regulators and other advisor delegates with an unparalleled opportunity to meet and discuss the most important issues facing gaming.
Jeff Barbin, IAGA President and a Partner with Phelps, says: “Our 2025 agenda will address numerous issues of critical importance including the growing illegal market, the potential impact of AI across gaming operations, the progression of online casinos and navigating due diligence challenges in M&A transactions.
“Additionally, our agenda again includes a full-day focused on issues unique to sports betting operations, including a current look at the state of advertising restrictions, growing conflicts of interest and a session focused on lessons learned from the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris and the Euros in Germany.”
“We are pleased to announce that as part of the Summit, we will be launching a new initiative focused on building relationships between global gambling and betting regulators and major sports governing bodies. Our Sports & Wagering Integrity Coalition working group will focus on identifying collaborative ways that regulators and sport governing authorities can address growing threats to sports integrity and sports wagering and collaboratively identify ways to build stronger relationships to confront these threats.”
The Summit agenda also includes two keynote fireside chats that will provide attendees with unmatched insight into two key gambling and betting jurisdictions.
On Tuesday June 10th, Kevin Mullally, CEO of the UAE General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority will share insights into the status of the Emirates’ legal framework.
And on Wednesday June 11th, UK Gambling Commission CEO, Andrew Rhodes, will mark the 4th anniversary of his appointment with an open discussion and Q&A on the trials and tribulations of his tenure during an eventful period and the future direction of gambling regulatory reform in Great Britain.
An exciting programme of Evening Events has also been curated, culminating on the evening of Thursday June 12th with the President’s Reception & Dinner at Café am Neuen See, a former country home located in Berlin’s historic Tiergarten.
The full Summit agenda is available online at www.theiaga.org and registration is now open.
