iGaming Idol 2019 soars to the next level with iGaming NEXT

March 14 2019

For iGaming Idol, 2018 was a year of positive change. The third edition culminated in a sold-out sensational gala night on the 26th of September, at the InterContinental Arena Conference Centre in St Julian’s, with a fantastic €20K raised for the Malta Community Chest Fund Foundation during the same evening. But now, iGaming Idol organisers have launched two new and exciting projects; iGaming NEXT and iGaming Invitational, signalling quite an eventful and busy year ahead for iGaming Idol.

iGaming NEXT: Above and beyond an iGaming Conference

iGaming NEXT is an exclusive concept where the ideas, products and technologies for the future will be revealed. Happening on the 10th of September 2019, at the InterContinental Arena Conference Centre, iGaming NEXT is the go-to, one day, one venue event for the industry’s key decision makers. Bringing together some 700 delegates, iGaming NEXT will present six of the largest, tier-1 iGaming suppliers, who will take to the stage in 20-minute slots. We are excited to have already confirmed NetEnt, Quickspin and Evolution Gaming as partners, who will be presenting at iGaming NEXT. To add to the significance of the event, tech giant Google has also been confirmed as a partner and keynote at the event, not to mention iGaming Business and Calvin Ayre as media partners.

“One of the key benefits of iGaming NEXT is that it’s a one-stop-shop for iGaming suppliers, operators and media and will be a tremendous time saver for everyone, as everything is packed into one solid day. Imagine Apple’s yearly reveal event, combined with the presentation quality and attention of a TED conference.

“We have also confirmed Google as partner and keynote speaker, so delegates will be inspired on what the future of technology holds as well as seeing concrete product and technology roadmaps for 2020 from the top suppliers of the industry”

Michael Pedersen, CEO of iGaming Idol

iGaming Invitational: Fun, golf and networking

Happening on the 8th of May 2019 at the Royal Malta Golf Course, iGaming Invitational is a premium golf event for the industry’s C-level and senior managers to meet and compete with their peers. The event will offer a prime networking opportunity as well as some competitive fun and socialising. This event is strictly invite-only.

iGaming Idol: An unforgettable night in the making

The highlight of the year remains iGaming Idol 2019, to be held once again at the InterContinental Arena Conference Centre on the 11th of September 2019, the day after iGaming NEXT. This year’s edition promises not only top-notch entertainment as well as the glitz and glamour, which have become synonymous with iGaming Idol, but also plenty of surprises, creating once again, the most dazzling backdrop for the industry to celebrate the achievements of its top Idols.

About iGaming Idol

Since its inception in 2016, iGaming Idol has grown exponentially into one of the most anticipated awards shows within the iGaming industry. Led by original co-founder Michael Pedersen, together with the team behind Ambassadör Events, the iGaming Idol concept is based on three pillars: Recognition of individuals, Charity and Entertainment. Year after year, the iGaming Idol team strives to expand the original concept to better serve both the industry and the community within which it operates. The portfolio of events now also includes iGaming NEXT as well as iGaming Invitational.
