Events, conferences and trade shows are a crucial part of the betting and gaming industry – as they are for most business sectors. As event organisers, we facilitate the important introductions between buyers and sellers and help educate the industry via conferences and content.

But right now we are facing the COVID-19 pandemic, placing many of us around the world in lockdown, forcing us to work remotely, and causing an immediate stop to events of all kinds. So what are we able to do now?

Well, it doesn’t help that the post-pandemic industry picture is really hard to paint, with economic wounds to heal, disrupted supply chains, travel restrictions, uncertain company and employee-wide reactions in the aftermath of COVID-19, and many more issues to factor in.
