International gaming event producer Clarion Gaming and the non-profit International Masters of Gaming Law (IMGL), which provides a forum for the exchange of knowledge and insight to gaming law, announced Friday that they have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) which will see IMGL become Clarion’s global legal partner on all legal and regulatory developments.
The partnership will see both parties deploying their respective commercial and legal knowledge, expertise and marketing reach to enhance the quality of educational experiences offered to the global gaming industry.
“Clarion’s skill lies in our ability to develop, create and organize professional gaming events which have the right chemistry and which engage with our stakeholders throughout the world,” Managing Director Kate Chambers said in a statement. “This also entails collaborating with partners who are experts in their fields. The International Masters of Gaming Law certainly fit into that category. Working in partnership with the IMGL will enhance our ability to deliver professional, informed, business experiences for our stakeholders many of whom travel vast distances to attend our events. I look forward to a productive relationship with our friends at the IMGL and helping to deliver high quality educational and learning experiences to the global industry.”
The collaboration will see IMGL establish a presence at Clarion’s World Regulatory Briefing event, which will take place at ICE London February 4-6. IMGL will work with Clarion Gaming to advise on important legal and regulatory content and will help secure speakers to appear at Clarion Gaming events, including ICE North America, iGB Live! and ICE Africa.
“IMGL is a global organization of expert gambling lawyers,” IMGL President Jamie Nettleton said. “Our partnership with Clarion ensures that together, we can deploy that expertise and assist industry stakeholders in enriching their expertise, particularly in relation to legal, regulatory and compliance. We are honored to join Clarion Gaming in this partnership.”
IMGL retains the option to conduct IMGL Masterclasses at all of Clarion Gaming’s other events and will work with the production team to host and moderate legal tracks in sports betting, iGaming, esports, iLottery, and affiliates.
IMGL will continue to conduct their Spring and Autumn conferences and other IMGL Masterclasses globally.
