GiGse is staking a claim as the ‘must attend’ event for North American facing senior gaming professionals with 73% of delegates registered for this year’s edition classified as being director level or above. The concentration of ‘C-Suiters’ is amongst the highest found in the Clarion Gaming portfolio and on a similar standing to the Latin American facing Juegos Miami, which is co-located alongside GiGse for the first time this year (The Miami Biltmore: May 31 – 1 June).

Reflecting on the figures, event director, Greg Saint, said: “Since its inception, GiGse has been pitched at decision makers operating at the highest level, and our campaign theme of putting ‘North American gambling, gaming and betting under the microscope’ reflects these credentials. To have such a significant proportion of delegates occupying the most senior of positions within their organisations reflects the seriousness with which all elements within the north American facing industry view GiGse.”

He added: “The topics that will be debated and analysed in Miami go to the very heart of the key issues facing the US industry. These include the monetisation of sports betting, iGaming in Pennsylvania, an examination of the Tribal Gaming stance, the role of technology in growing the gaming industry outside of regulatory boundaries, as well as a panel looking at the pace of online gambling regulation and consumer attitudes towards it.”
