The countdown has begun for the second edition of the Canadian Gaming Summit under SBC’s leadership, as 3,000 betting and casino professionals prepare for three days packed with networking, product showcases and education.
A highlight of this year’s event is its emphasis on offering insights into various Canadian provinces. Representatives from Alberta, Manitoba, British Columbia, Quebec and other regions will share their experiences, providing attendees with a comprehensive overview of the Canadian market.
Taking place from June 18th-20th, the 27th edition of the event reconvenes at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, uniting senior decision-makers from pivotal operators, affiliates, regulatory bodies, media and suppliers specialising in the Canadian gambling market.
The summit commences with the Player Protection Symposium, centred on responsible gambling and player safety, and hosting six panel discussions exploring various aspects, including protection of high rollers, promoting ethical engagement through joint initiatives between marketing and responsible gambling teams, using customer insights to formulate robust player protection strategies and beyond.
Additionally, the Symposium will feature a live edition of Martin Lycka’s Safe Bet Show, with NHL Alumni Luke Gazdic as special guest.
Main event days begin after a pre-registration networking party at the RS Sports Bar, featuring a Global Gaming Women Breakfast and meetups such as African Americans in Gaming.
The highly anticipated Electronic Gaming Academy (EGA) Masterclass makes its return, focusing on the relevance of total quality management. As evening falls, participants with Full Event passes can enjoy the official Networking Party at the Lavelle Rooftop.
The concluding day features the First Nations Breakfast Meetup and the second segment of the EGA Masterclass, delving into the significance of return to player (RTP).
During the core days of the summit, attendees can expect to gain insights from over 150 industry experts. Across two conference stages running simultaneously, speakers will share their expertise on topics ranging from growth and leadership strategies to advancements in affiliation, advertising, payment, compliance and emerging trends in both sports betting and the land-based sector.
The agenda includes opening remarks by Duncan Hannay, President of OLG, and keynote presentations by Dale Nally, Minister of Service & Red Tape Reduction for the Province of Alberta and Brian Christopher, CEO & President of BC Slots.
The agenda also includes a keynote panel discussion featuring crown corporation leaders Pat Davis (BCLC), Jean-François Bergeron (Loto-Québec), Patrick Daigle (ALC) and Will Hill (Canadian Lottery Coalition).
Reflecting a pan-Canadian theme, the expo floor will showcase a dedicated crown corporation lounge featuring major players including the BCLC, OLG, Loto-Québec, AGLC, MBLL, ALC and LGS.
Rasmus Sojmark, CEO & Founder of SBC, says: “I am really proud of all the work we are doing here in Canada. Last year, we got the chance to familiarise ourselves with this new territory for SBC, and this year, we have many additions based on our findings and identifying the gaps.
“This event goes beyond discussing Ontario; it does a great job of educating the audience about the intricacies of operating in Canada and, most importantly, it has all the right people under the same roof. Use your time here wisely.”
