The International Association of Gaming Advisors (IAGA), a leading force in the gaming industry, will provide a framework for the regulatory and compliance agenda at the SiGMA Central Europe Summit. As a partner of SiGMA, IAGA will present two key panels on the most significant issues confronting the gaming and betting industries today.
The first panel, Growing Sport Integrity Challenges and Their Impact on Sports Betting Regulation, will grapple with the complicated interactions of sports integrity, data manipulation, and regulatory enforcement; the second, Truth in Numbers: Black Market Pressures in Land-Based and Online Gambling, will examine how grey markets distort competition, impact tax revenue, and undermine consumer protection.
Kirsten Clark, Executive Director at IAGA, will make brief opening remarks for both sessions to set the stage and framework for compliance and governance so that these discussions can be neutral, unbiased engagements. Her opening remarks will provide for robust discussion, as a focus on transparency and ethical leadership will be integral to an engaged dialogue as the regulatory environment continues to change.
Strengthening thought leadership through partnership
The curation of these panels represents the greater cooperative efforts between SiGMA and IAGA, which have been formalised through a strategic partnership for the SiGMA Central Europe Summit. This partnership reflects SiGMA’s commitment to improving its content with world-class knowledge. At the same time, IAGA brings a trusted voice to the conversation through its extensive network of legal, regulatory, and advisory professionals.
As a globally recognised body representing gaming counsel, advisors, and compliance experts, IAGA’s involvement strengthens SiGMA’s positioning as the premier platform for regulated markets, policymakers, operators, and advisers to converge. Through branding, programming, and thought-leadership integration, IAGA’s presence signals the high level of professional discourse delegates can expect throughout the four-day event.
Delivering value for delegates
Attendees at SiGMA Central Europe will benefit from IAGA’s curatorial vision, gaining access to discussions that provide a blend of regulatory realism, practical case studies, and an eye to the future. Participants will leave the summit with informed action items, whether discussing compliance across jurisdictions, assessing integrity frameworks, or delving into the latest AML risks.
For SiGMA, the partnership adds regulatory credibility and value to the summit, building on expectations for top-tier content. For IAGA, the partnership affords direct engagement opportunities with stakeholders throughout Central Europe and beyond while growing the association’s ability to influence responsible governance and better practice in the global gaming community.
