(Canada).- Apart from a vibrant exhibition showcasing various products and services and numerous networking opportunities, the Canadian Gaming Summit — the country's premier gaming and betting event — will host a conference with an unrivaled line-up of first-rate speakers, handpicked by the event organizer, SBC.

Insider knowledge at Canadian Gaming Summit: ‘Leaders’ track showcases top operators and regulators

The ‘Leaders’ conference track, which will take place on June 14 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, is an undisputed highlight of the event's 26th edition, as it spotlights the most influential decision-makers, thought leaders, and innovators in the Canadian gaming industry.

Attendees will gain unparalleled insights from Canada's most successful operators, including representatives from PointsBet, BetMGM, Kindred, and FanDuel. Furthermore, event visitors will have the opportunity to hear directly from regulators and exchange ideas with their peers in the gaming industry.

The opening panel of the ‘Leaders’ conference track will delve into Canada's potential to become an international hub for iGaming innovation. Esteemed industry executives Scott Vanderwel (CEO, PointsBet Canada), Amanda Brewer (Country Manager Canada, Kindred), Dale Hooper (General Manager Canada, FanDuel), and Scott Woodgate (VP Canada, BetMGM) will explore how Canada can leverage its status as a well-established tech hub and center for global investments to emerge as a worldwide center for iGaming innovation.

 Drawing upon their experiences as established operators who were among the first to obtain legal operator titles in the Canadian market, the panelists will compare Canada's situation with that of US states and discuss how local operators can compete with larger organizations for market share. In addition, the speakers will discuss the prospects of regulatory collaboration across jurisdictions and examine the potential of other provinces outside Ontario to chart a course. 

The second panel is dedicated to regulators, who will reflect on the key takeaways from the opening of the province of Ontario and explore how these lessons can be applied to other provinces and Canadian territories. The panel will feature Martha Otton, Executive Director of iGaming Ontario, a subsidiary of the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario that was established to regulate the new market, and Tom Mungham, Chief Executive Officer of the AGCO.

 The panelists will examine how various provinces across Canada can collaborate and align on best practices and expansion tactics. They will also analyze the accuracy of the predictions that were made when the market opened in Ontario. With their firsthand experience in the regulation of the industry, the speakers will provide invaluable insights into how Canada's gaming sector can continue to thrive in the years to come.

The closing keynote fireside chat will feature Ray Pineault (CEO, Mohegan Gaming & Entertainment) and Ilkim Hincer (EVP & Chief Legal Officer, Hard Rock International). The experts will explore the convergence of iGaming, land-based gaming, and provincial lotteries and elaborate on how the established land-based businesses and lotteries can capitalize on their knowledge by translating their core values to digital platforms. The speakers will also discuss the importance of partnerships with regulators and First Nations and the potential of simultaneously fulfilling the needs of various audience clusters through omnichannel experiences.

Rasmus Sojmark, CEO & Founder of SBC, said: "There’s a lot to learn in Canada, especially since Ontario became the first province in Canada to regulate online gambling, legalizing what was previously a grey market. Ontario's regulation of online gambling has set the stage for the Canadian gaming industry's growth and has already provided valuable insights that could be applicable to other provinces and territories in Canada. 

"There are no better candidates to educate the industry on the potential and the lessons learned than industry leaders representing some of the biggest players in the region and the regulatory bodies who hold registered operators to high standards of responsible gambling, player protection, and game integrity. We’re excited to host some industry titans who will share their insights with the audience."
