MiGS 2016 is literally just around the corner and we at CalvinAyre.com will be in Malta next week to cover this established iGaming event.  We spoke with one of the organizers, Jeff Buttigieg of RE/MAX Malta, to get an idea of who makes up the experienced team behind MiGS, what separates MiGS from the rest, who will be speaking and what we can expect from the inaugural iGaming Idol.

CalvinAyre.com: Thank you for joining me today, Jeff.  Can you elaborate on the team behind MiGS, their industry experience and why this event is close to their hearts?

Jeff Buttigieg: MIGS was founded in 2008 and we are very proud to say that we were the first organisers of an iGaming conference in Malta.  Our core purpose has always been to provide C-level executives a platform where they may learn from industry experts and network amongst like-minded individuals within a luxury environment.  This provides them freedom to discuss and debate strategies as well as meet with new suppliers and  reacquaint themselves with service providers.  We take pride in seeing our delegates conducting business at the event. I think this is one of the key benefits of MIGS for delegates.

Today, MIGS has grown into an internationally recognised iGaming calendar event and we believe that this has a lot to do with continuity in that founding members are still at the helm of the event, whilst over the years we have built an excellent team that have their roles and responsibilities.  Kris Baron from ARQ Group, together with his brigade of legal and accountancy experts oversees the finance and legal aspects, Ramona Mifsud from BMIT handles logistics and sponsorships whereas I handle the branding, PR and marketing with my team at RE/MAX Malta.  Sue Schneider, a renowned Industry expert and veteran, is our main conference chair and host.  She oversees the all-important agenda which entails the delivery of content, topics and speakers.
