“With a star-studded list of industry heavyweights offering unmatched insight into North America’s post-COVID comeback, as well as on-the-ground updates from key state’s ongoing regulation, this event is not to be missed for anyone looking to gain traction in the market.”
Offering 15 key panels across 30 hard-hitting topics around the betting industry’s return, Tuesday’s opening will kick-off by focusing on the industry’s post-COVID restart, touching on market developments in California, Texas and Florida, as well as the re-opening of the Las Vegas strip and the rise of Esports.
