- GiH Conference: #ReclaimTheMarket & Key Decision Makers
Willem van Oort, Gaming in Holland Founder, says: “While the annual Gaming in Holland Conference has always been THE place to get the latest news and updates on the Dutch gambling market, this year we are tackling one of the major issues facing licensed operators in regulated markets: How do we reclaim lost market share from increasingly aggressive illegal competitors?
“Obviously, there are no simple solutions, but that doesn’t mean that stakeholders in the regulated market are powerless. As all key decision makers and stakeholders in the regulated Dutch gambling market will be present in Amsterdam, I am certain that we can get a fruitful discussion started.”
The 2026 Gaming in Holland Conference takes place Thursday, June 4th at the KIT Royal Tropical Institute in Amsterdam. Registration is now open HERE
