In a reflection on this historic event , iGB Portfolio director Naomi Barton stated: “This was the perfect way to thank the RAI Amsterdam team for their incredible support and contributions to ensuring iGB L!VE’s status as the world’s most valuable and popular showcase for the iGaming Industry.
“I’m delighted that the industry professionals participated in record numbers in this largest ever edition of iGB!VE. Over 300 exhibitors and sponsors were present.
The world-class exhibitors were complemented by high-profile features, including the first iGB L!VE launchpad which was won Match Hype whose products focused on delivering AI-driven videos for sporting matches and iGB Ascend, iGB L!VE’s mentoring and leadership program aimed at assisting women in their early gaming careers.
The first Sustainable Gambling Zone featured the latest thinking in safer gambling. And the 21-session Conference Program included over 50 industry disruptors and thought leaders.
The highlights of the Conference program included an opening speech from Michel Groothuizen who was recently appointed as chair of Dutch regulator Kansspelautoriteit. An Operator Key Note was delivered by Sam Sadi CEO of LiveScore Group, and a presentation given by Travis Geiger CXO, Co-Founder and Affiliate of LA-based Sports Betting Marketplace WagerWire.
Naomi Barton, looking ahead to iGB L!VE’s relocation to London said: “There is no doubt that ExCeL London will be in the best shape possible as we have set new records throughout.
“Our vision is that we will take the show to an entirely new level, as the industry continues its growth. By 2028, we want iGB LIVE to have 30,000 visitors as well as 550+ exhibitors. To realise the vision of the show, we are working with an Industry Advisory Board made up by the most influential and leading stakeholders.
The new home at ExCeL London is a great place to help events reach their full potential. All the building blocks for iGB L!VE are there to meet the growth targets our stakeholders desire, and deliver the business value they need.
