Tuesday 10 November

The regulated lottery and sports betting industry is constantly being reshaped and transformed by trends, technologies and external factors that are all Driving Change.
Keynote speakers Sarro Brierley, Holly Ramson and Stephen Scheeler will highlight the need to lead change rather than follow it for a sustainable future — through determination and strong leadership, embracing innovation, creating enhanced player experiences, and turning lessons learned and experience into practice.
In a rapidly evolving global landscape, Building Resilience means being able to adapt, evolve, and thrive while finding solutions to diverse challenges that impact our industry.
Keynote speakers Anders Sörman-Nilsson, Jessica Sansom and Michelle L. Malkin will emphasize the importance of strengthening partnerships, strategies while navigating digital transformation, and AI technologies to ensure sustainable growth, responsible gaming, and long-term success in an increasingly competitive landscape.
The diverse ecosystem of the lottery and sports betting industry is uniquely United in Purpose and strengthened by its powerful collaboration.
A panel with keynote speakers Louise Herron, Kath Koschel, Nic Marchesi and Lucas Patchett, will underscore the significant and essential role of the regulated lotteries and sports betting operators which support good causes and positively impact individuals, communities and societies around the world.
Monday 9 November promises to be an engaging day, with the entire afternoon dedicated to the tradeshow, followed by the opening dinner — an elegant and convivial evening designed to celebrate the start of the event in a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
The dynamic tradeshow will highlight cutting-edge technologies and solutions defining the future of the lottery and sports betting industry. This premier business forum will allow global operators and executives to connect and share strategic insights, explore emerging trends, evaluate new products, and foster collaborative growth.
Arriving by boat, participants will experience an unforgettable opening dinner at the iconic Sydney Opera House. This extraordinary evening offers a rare opportunity to celebrate world-class culture and architectural excellence, made even more meaningful by the visionary state lottery that greatly contributed to bringing this global masterpiece to life.
The social activities will offer valuable opportunities to connect, engage, and strengthen relationships in a relaxed and inspiring atmosphere, network beyond the conference sessions, and unite the industry through meaningful conversations, and memorable moments.
