The new event, in which investors and online gaming and sports betting professionals will come together for what is billed as an unmissable C-Level networking opportunity, has created a significant buzz which has in turn translated to rapid sales of floor space.

With a signature focus on top-class content and unparalleled hospitality, all exhibiting space has been snapped up for the two-day event, which takes place on May 12-13, 2022, at Convene at 177 West 46^th Street, Manhattan, in New York City.

Delegates will be educated on what is happening on the ground in the US, with tracks focusing on investment opportunities within the industry, as well as the convergence between iGaming and the metaverse and the consequent opportunities this will present.

Complementing the delivery of key messages concerning the burgeoning US market is a world-class experiential offering. This includes rooftop networking in the center of Manhattan and the opportunity to attend an MLB clash between New York Yankees and Toronto Blue Jays at Yankee Stadium.

All attendees will also benefit from complimentary breakfast, lunch, snacks and drinks throughout both days, as industry leaders mix with institutional investors focused on the online gaming and betting industries.

Rory Credland, Head of Commercial at iGaming NEXT, said: “We would like to personally thank our exhibitors and partners for their phenomenal and humbling response to this event. The fact that we are already fully booked, three months ahead of the doors opening in Manhattan, is testament to the hard work of our team in assembling a wonderful line-up of speakers for a show that offers something completely different from the norm, with investment professionals rubbing shoulders with the best minds in the iGaming industry.

“We are looking forward to welcoming all attendees for an event that has a strong emphasis on the experiential. The combination of industry insights and fantastic networking opportunities has proven to be a great draw and we look forward to delivering a landmark event that will live long in the memory of those able to experience it.”

Trevor Westacott, VP Marketing at Playtech, added: “The team at iGaming NEXT have composed an event combining the wider gaming and investment sectors at a crucial juncture in the development of the market in the US, so it’s not a surprise that the take-up of exhibition space has occurred at such a rapid rate.

“With an intriguing track entirely focused on the opportunities that will arise from iGaming’s positioning within the metaverse, iGaming NEXT New York City ’22 promises to deliver a pioneering, educational and entertaining experience for all delegates.”
