19–21 APRIL 2027 · RAI AMSTERDAM

SIX EDUCATIONAL FORUMS.
EVERY SKILL YOU NEED TO STAY AHEAD.

The Educational Forums

NOT THEORY. THE ACTUAL PLAYBOOK

A suspicious bet. A failed deposit. A startup pitch that falls apart under scrutiny. Six focused forums take the industry’s real challenges off the main stage and into smaller rooms, where difficult questions get asked.

LOTTERY INNOVATION FORUM

Winning over the next generation.

Lotteries have the players, the trust and the heritage. But are they winning the next generation? As digital entertainment rewrites the rules, the lottery industry faces a choice: evolve or risk being left behind. From battling for attention to reinventing the product, this forum challenges what lotteries must protect, rethink and leave behind.

BUILT FOR

Lottery CEOs and senior leaders across digital, marketing, product, innovation and transformation, alongside technology partners helping lotteries modernise, compete and grow.

SEE AGENDA
SPORTS INTEGRITY FORUM

The unseen threats.

One suspicious bet can expose a much bigger thread. As unofficial data feeds, micro-betting and increasingly sophisticated match manipulation reshape the risk landscape, can the industry keep up? This forum challenges how betting operators and sporting bodies identify threats and safeguard the integrity of sport.

BUILT FOR

Integrity, risk, trading and compliance leaders at betting operators, alongside sports federations, regulators, data providers and integrity organisations working to detect manipulation, protect athletes and keep sport fair.

SEE AGENDA
STARTUP & INVESTOR FORUM

What makes a business worth backing?

Everyone has a great idea until the numbers, investors and difficult decisions enter the room. What makes a startup worth backing, a pitch worth hearing or a business worth scaling? This hands-on forum puts founders and investors in the hot seat to find out what it really takes to build, fund and grow a business, from defending valuations to negotiating terms and much more.

BUILt FOR

Startup founders, entrepreneurs and early-stage business leaders seeking investment and growth, alongside venture capitalists, angel investors, accelerators and investment professionals looking to identify and back the next big opportunity.

SEE AGENDA
PAYMENTS & BLOCKCHAIN FORUM

The future of payments needs a stress test.

One failed deposit can mean one lost player. From checkout friction and payment routing to crypto casinos and stablecoin transactions, every decision affects conversion, cost and customer experience. This hands-on forum puts payments and blockchain innovation to the test, challenging participants to build better payment journeys.

BUILT FOR

Payments, fintech, product and innovation leaders at gaming operators, alongside PSPs, acquirers, blockchain specialists and technology providers looking to improve conversion, optimise transactions and explore new ways to move money.

SEE AGENDA
THE TALENT FORUM

The people behind the perception.

AI is changing recruitment. Employees can see through employer-brand spin. And when a crisis breaks, nobody waits for your “approved statement.” From attracting the right talent and building credible exec profiles to winning media attention and managing reputational crises, this hands-on forum challenges how businesses attract people and protect their reputation.

BUILT FOR

HR, recruitment and talent acquisition leaders, alongside employer branding, PR, corporate communications and marketing professionals responsible for attracting talent, shaping executive profiles, managing media relationships and protecting business reputation.

SEE AGENDA
PLAYER PROTECTION FORUM

Are you protecting players or ticking boxes?

Everyone agrees players should be protected. But where does effective protection end and excessive intervention begin? As AI reshapes player monitoring, advertising practices face greater scrutiny and tighter regulations raise more questions, the industry faces some uncomfortable trade-offs. This forum challenges what meaningful player protection should look like.

BUILT FOR

Safer gambling, responsible gaming, compliance and regulatory affairs leaders at operators and suppliers, alongside regulators, policymakers and player protection specialists working to reduce gambling harm while maintaining a sustainable regulated market.

THE FORMAT

HOW THE FORUMS WORK

One day, a focused room and conversations that go beyond the conference stage. Here’s what makes the Forums different.

Not your average session

Each Forum brings together expert discussions, real-world case studies, specialist presentations and interactive workshops. The aim isn't simply to hear what the industry thinks, but to examine the challenges, question existing approaches and work through potential solutions.

Led by people facing these challenges

Sessions bring together senior industry leaders, regulators, specialists and practitioners directly involved in the issues being discussed. Different perspectives are part of the point, creating space for open debate, honest questions and insights grounded in real industry experience.

One day, one industry challenge

Each Forum is built around a specific area of the industry, with a dedicated programme exploring its biggest questions, emerging challenges and practical implications. Rather than jumping between unrelated topics, participants spend the day examining the issues that matter most to their work.

A smaller room, a bigger conversation

Participation is limited to 200 people. The Forums, therefore, create a more focused environment where delegates can engage directly with speakers, exchange experiences with peers and contribute to discussions rather than simply sit in the audience.
