As soon as December hits, I am constantly contacted by iGaming industry professionals for advice on what conferences they should attend in the year ahead.  This time of year is a popular window for annual planning and budgeting, plus most organizers have already unveiled their “save the dates” and locations for events taking place over the next twelve months.  It is for these reasons I decided to dedicate this week’s column to 2017 “conference awareness”.

For the first time in a while, I’ve noticed a number of changes in the iGaming Conference schedule coming up and wanted to share them all with you so you can plan effectively.  As a side note, there are plenty of annual conferences not mentioned below that I think are worth attending, I urge you to check out our 2016 conference coverage library to get a feel for what else you might want to attend in 2017.

London Affiliate Conference moving to ExCeL

ICE and LAC always serve as the industry’s kick-start to the year, Clarion’s ICE for the entire gambling industry and iGaming Business’s LAC more specifically for the iGaming affiliate industry.  Now that Clarion has acquired iGaming Business, LAC has moved to the ExCeL so both events are now in the same location, one right after the next.
