Gaming Americas announces the final agenda for their first virtual quarterly meetup in 2021.
Cutting-edge gambling industry media platform GamingAmericas.com has announced its speaker list and sponsors ahead of its bite-size virtual conference,
Gaming Americas Q1 Meetup.
Over 1000 participants have already registered for the 28th January event, which
features a host of leading industry figures from both sides of the Americas, spanning the casino, sports betting, lottery, data and regulatory industries.
Altenar and Playโn Go have been confirmed as the leading sponsors for the event,
which takes place from 12-19.45pm EDT. Panel discussions will cover the latest
developments from both continents, with networking opportunities available through specially designed break-out sessions. See more details here | Register for free
Key topics on the agenda will focus on the latest in the US, the Canada gaming ย scene, the Caribbean and Central America, as well as a combination of Spanish and English panels covering all developments across Colombia, Panama, Argentina and Chile.
Zoltan Tuendik, Co-Founder of Gaming Americas, believes that the insights on offer at the bite-size conference will prove highly valuable:
โThe number of sign-ups is testament to the high level of interest from the industry in a wide range of territories that we consider to offer some of the worldโs biggest growth opportunities.
โThis event may be slimmed-down, but there is certainly no shortage of quality within the line-up of speakers. With key regulatory updates from North America and a deep dive into Latin and Central America, anyone who is looking to gain traction in these markets cannot afford to miss out.โ
Founded in March 2020 as an all-encompassing hub for the gambling and gaming
sectors, GamingAmericas.comโs industry conferences have been chiefly developed by the publicationโs advisory board.
