As an established hub for the Internet gambling industry, a Malta-based conference enjoys a deep pool of prospective expert speakers and high-level attendees from many of the top operators and suppliers. Making the most of both the locale and the audience, the annual Malta iGaming Seminar (MiGS) characterizes the success of the industry by design, using functional conference sessions and networking events that attract both the local and global audiences.
Conference Chair Sue Schneider, long renowned as the foremost expert on the industry and partner in organizing MiGS said, “This year’s programme is built around initiating and continuing conversations the influential people in the iGaming business need to have to be successful, while always being mindful of past lessons learned. We’re very excited by the line up of speakers we have confirmed to elevate these discussions”.
Seminar discussions will span topics that include areas of potential growth like mobile gaming and eSports, balanced with topics that take a more analytical look at challenges that hinder and opportunities that attract robust investment in the sector. A session that is poised to do some of both is titled “Sport and Betting: Working as One Team to Safeguard Mutual Survival”, which will touch on the most recent match-fixing news with the intent to offer concrete solutions to maintaining the integrity of sport when betting companies and league officials work together. The panel to address this topic will include officials with the International Olympic Committee, the Italian Police/Interpol, the Maltese Football Association, the Malta Gaming Authority and a former footballer and current ESPN Commentator, among others yet to be confirmed.
“A Century of iGaming” is another session to combine veteran experience with forward thinking, by joining some of the original industry personalities on a panel. Sharing their perspectives from their initial forays into iGaming to their current industry endeavors, these CEOs will opine about what new products, geographies, operational methods and consolidations have caught their attention. With over 100 years experience in iGaming sitting on the dais, it’s inevitable that the discussion will be lively and spirited when such varying viewpoints are brought together.
