The association has agreed to support the first running of the event in New Jersey from 23-25 April 2019. The Meadowlands Exposition Center will host 1,500 delegates and 60 exhibitors across 61,000 sq ft of exhibition space, as well as 175 leading industry speakers.

The IAGA, which counts IGT and MGM Resorts among its annual sponsors, is a collaborative forum designed to facilitate discussions around key issues that affect global gaming. The organisation has been around since 1980, and has seen its membership expand to include a wide range of industry financial experts, casino executives, regulators, consultants and educators from around the world.

This partnership with the IAGA provides an extra level of credibility to the #bosamerica conference agenda, which will cover a range of key issues across the following conference tracks – Betting on Regulation, Sport in Focus, Trading & Operations, Sponsorship & Marketing, Sports & Betting, States of the Nation and Demystifying Sports Betting.

These key issues include the tribal response to new sports betting regulation, why effective geolocation is essential to staying compliant with state laws, how to take bets on college football without endangering its players, and whether the outdated Wire Act should be completely reworked to provide a future-proof regulatory framework.

Andrew McCarron, Managing Director at SBC, said: “This arrangement will help to cement Betting on Sports America’s status as the most important and relevant event for those active in the US sports betting market. There are clear parallels to be drawn between BOSA and IAGA, as both facilitate an unrivalled level of discussion around key industry issues.”

Kirsten Clark, Director at the IAGA, added: “IAGA is pleased to partner with SBC to support its 2019 Betting on Sports America conference. Educating the North America market on how sports betting is offered and protected in other markets is of critical importance to our members and sponsors, and we look forward to helping SBC identify topical experts to participate in the conference panels.”
