Online Gambling Professionals Converge In Montreal
Professionals from the Online Gambling industry are meeting in Montreal this
week for the fifth annual Global Interactive Gaming Summit & Exposition at
Palais des Congres June 17 - 19. New to GIGSE this year was a special
one-day conference for affiliate marketing specialists.
Over 1000 attendees are in Montreal to discuss the online gambling business
this week. Attendees include online casino operators, marketers, software
providers, and vendors that serve the online gambling industry. With
attendees from all over the world, GIGSE has become the I-gaming industry 's
working marketplace and largest defining event. Now spanning six tracks (in
addition to two plenary sessions), the conference program has grown
significantly again. The themed tracks are as follows: Legal/Policy,
Licensing, Marketing, Payment Processing, Special Issues and Technology.
Back again is the pre-conference workshop (a primer for those looking to
learn more about the industry), sponsored networking breaks and panel
discussions with an emphasis on audience participation. Important topics to
be discussed include the payment processing crisis, person-to-person
betting, U.S. policy, U.K. policy, new security issues, wireless gaming and
the ongoing debate over cross-border gambling.
New to this year's program is a series of roundtable discussions on some of
the industry's most hotly debated issues, such as whether it's possible to
over-regulate I-gaming and how to address betting exchanges.
 The Expo Hall at GIGSE becomes the two-day world headquarters for dozens of
international companies and associations involved in I-gaming (see the
exhibitor directory at http://www.gigse.com). This year's event has over 41
companies exhibiting or sponsoring. It's clearly the best place to do "face
to face" business globally for the I-gaming industry. Like the conference
program, the expo hall has evolved with the industry and its complexion has
changed to meet industry demands. This year's expo, for example, will
feature an increased number of suppliers offering payment processing
solutions. Legal services, industry associations, licensing jurisdictions,
affiliate programs, hosting companies, geo-location technology developers
and gaming software suppliers are also showcasing their products and
services.
