European Gaming Media and Events (EGME) are running their inaugural European Gaming Congress in Slovenia this month. The one day event kicks off tomorrow, October 16th, and is intended as a forum for the discussion of compliance and licensing issues affecting the industry. It will be held at the Grand Hotel Union in Ljubljana.
The event’s general sponsor is Oryx Gaming, a market-leading turnkey solutions firm that provides software and services for the online gaming sector. Oryx is behind a wide range of services across the sector, including casino games, slots, lottery services, sports betting services, and live dealer games. Their platform of games, including third-party products, totals over 6,000 titles.
According to event founder and Head of Business at European Gaming Media and Events
Zoltán Tűndik, the event “is specially designed to bring together industry experts, regulators, operators and service providers in order to discuss burning issues… pertaining to compliance updates and licensing.”
The event also offers networking sessions intended to help attendees meet and greet some of the more well-known faces of the gambling industry in Europe. The congress’ agenda allows attending delegates to dive into regulatory updates from Italy, Malta, Slovenia, Austria, Germany, Spain, France, and Greece, among other jurisdictions.
The event will include panel discussions dedicated to a range of key topics including activity in the Balkans, market updates from the Mediterranean, responsible gambling, and gambling advertising. This last topic will cover recent shockwaves from the advertising ban in Italy, amongst other things.
Confirmed speakers for the event include Borut Lozej from GameArt, Zoran Puhač from the European Organization for Gaming Law, Martin Stofler from OSM Solutions and Dr. Joerg Hofmann from Melchers Law. There are also two networking breaks built into the day’s agenda, and the event will be capped by a networking party.
