The three-day event will be held at the InterContinental Hotel in Malta - the hub of iGaming, and will commence on May 23rd with pre-registration and the CPD-accredited workshop ‘MGA Key Function Training: CEO Workshop’. The core exhibition will then take place on May 24-25, presenting delegates with an extensive conference, interactive exhibition floor and ample networking opportunities.

On the exhibition floor, delegates will have the opportunity to interact with 50 exhibiting companies over the course of two days, as some of the most recognisable brands and innovative Game Studios such as 7777 Gaming, BetConstruct, Smartsoft Gaming, Solitics, Bazoom Group, Endrophina, Aviatrix and more, showcase their latest services and products. 

An exciting new addition to the exhibition floor is the Game Innovation Stage, which will present a unique, quick-fire opportunity to experience some of the biggest and most exciting new game releases from established and burgeoning game developers. In 10 minute slots, studios will take the stage to present their hottest titles and explain what makes their game special with the latest technological advancements and intricate geeky details. Alongside the newly established stage, there will be a dedicated zone in which attendees will be able to network and interact with developers on the exhibition floor. 

This year's meticulous conference agenda will take place across three stages and five conference tracks, Global Casino, Casino Product, Casino Slots, Leadership and Affiliation. Across the event, the conference agenda will present attendees with a far reaching scope of panel topics such as player retention and psychology, establishing an authentic brand voice and a series of roundtable discussions on some of the most enticing global markets.

A unique element of the conference agenda is its stringent focus on the product side of things and game mechanics. Attendees will have the opportunity to cure their tech savvy itch with a variety of panels on topics such as the integration of emerging technologies, how game design can provide better interactivity and sensory engagement, iGaming’s break-through moment in game mechanics and so much more. 

Across the conference agenda there will be a record breaking 200 speakers across the 3 days. Speakers will include the industry’s best and brightest from operator C-Levels, influential affiliates, regulators and media outlets such as Andrew Rhodes (CEO, UKGC), Silvia Hoppe (Group CMO, Wunderino & Mybet), Alexander Martin (CEO, SKS365), Dainis Niedra (CEO, Enlabs, Entain), Elena Shaterova (CCO, 7777 Gaming) and Andrew Rushgrove (Managing Director - Gaming, Sky Betting & Gaming) to name but a few.

Rasmus Sojmark, CEO and Founder of SBC, said: “CasinoBeats Summit is one of our most focused events, showcasing the future of iGaming and technological innovation. In recent years there has been a real focus on the digital realm and I am extremely excited to see what amazing products and services will spearhead innovation in the industry’’.

“We have learnt so much from our previous events here in Malta and have spent a lot of time ensuring this year is bigger and more ambitious than ever. We have doubled the amount of exhibitors and had a 74% increase in attending operators from last year, whilst still maintaining intellectually rich panels, an exciting exhibition floor and the fun, memorable networking opportunities we are so well known for’.

Along with an expert-led conference agenda and bustling expo floor, attendees will have further opportunity to network with key decision makers by attending an abundance of industry networking events.
