Returning for its third year, the Japan Gaming Congress is the largest event of its type in Japan focused on the integrated resort (IR) industry, drawing attendance locally as well as from key international markets including Las Vegas, Macau and Singapore.
The event will continue to see an enhanced presence by key Japanese authorities, including figures from the central government and a wide variety of prefectures.
With a wide content and discussion due to take place, a number of key sponsors such as Melco Resorts & Entertainment Limited, Caesars Entertainment, Group Barrière and JCM Global have already confirmed their participation and support for JgC.
The 2018 conference will focus on a variety of topics, including updates to the much anticipated legislation including bills related to ‘Problem Gaming’ and general IR regulation which are estimated to be announced within 2018.
In addition to these tracks, the event will focus on setting realistic expectations on the impacts of the IR industry on the local communities, including tracks related to business (procurement), non-gaming entertainment amenities, legal, and other topics of considerable interest to attendees.
Rory Credland of Clarion Gaming states: “We are excited to bring the Japan Gaming Congress back for its third year running. The success of the last two events, coupled with the most recent election updates in Japan, show that the event continues to drive heavy interest from attendees both domestically in Japan and abroad within the gaming industry.”
"We look forward to a conference full of valuable discussions from both industry and government leaders, as Japan looks forward to the future of IR development and entertainment within the country,” Credland added.
