The event will be held next June 4-6 at The Ritz Carlton Half Moon Bay, in Northern California.

The International Association of Gaming Advisors (IAGA) will hold its 38th Annual International Gaming Summit on June 4 - 6 at The Ritz Carlton Half Moon Bay in Northern California. The Summit provides operators, suppliers, attorneys, investors, bankers, regulators and other advisors an unparalleled opportunity to meet and discuss the top issues facing gaming today.

IAGA is the most important association of Advisors in the world. Executives of relevant companies of the market like MGM, Wynn, IGT, Melco Resorts, Genting UK, PwC, GLI, Aristocrat and Ernst & Young, among others, make up its outstanding Board.

Trengrouse will participate in the panel "Today, tomorrow and beyond: A global snapshot of emerging markets and trends" that will focus on emerging markets for the gaming industry. Moderated by John Stawyskyj (Partner with Ashurst), the panelist include Maire Conneely, Attorney, A&L Goodbody (Ireland), Susan O'Leary, CEO, Alderney eGambling (Emerging EMEA Markets) y Heminio (Mio) Ozaeta Jr, Romulo lawyers (Manila).

Although Japan continues to receive a tremendous amount of attention as its integrated resort bidding process progresses, there are numerous other markets worth paying attention to in Asia and beyond. Vietnam and Cambodia continue to move toward more robust regulated gaming offerings, Brazil continues to pursue legislation legalizing casinos, and speculation about expanding casino offerings in India consistently emerge.

Focusing on these markets and others that are expected to see significant movement in the near future, IAGA panelists will take a high level look into why these markets are considered future gaming hot-spots, what regulatory frameworks are being considered, and what the speculated opportunities are across all gaming sectors. 

IAGA President John McManus, Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary for MGM Resorts International, commented: “We are very pleased to have such a distinguished line-up of keynote speakers addressing our delegates this year, and I’m confident that our attendees will gain a wealth of knowledge from each speaker’s individual insights and experiences.”

“Additionally, our compelling Summit program focuses on numerous internationally-relevant gaming issues, and each panel discussion is supported by industry leaders with expertise specific to the topic at hand,” McManus added.
