Canadian Gaming Summit highlights Growth & Leadership and Payments & Compliance tracks

The Canadian Gaming Summit is gearing up to launch on Thursday, June 20 at the Metro Toronto Convention Center, and the event is now highlighting the upcoming "Growth & Leadership" and "Payments & Compliance" track.

SBC CEO and Founder Rasmus Sojmark has welcomed the opportunity to see his company host the gathering, and said:

"Our conference team has worked tirelessly to craft a diverse and specialized experience for our attendees. Growth, leadership, payments, and compliance are the fundamental pillars of our industry, and we are proud to offer such crucial insights in an engaging, memorable, and educational format."

Discussing the future of gambling in Canadian provinces

The track will kick off with a keynote address from Dale Nally, Minister of Service Alberta and Red Tape Reduction at the Government of Alberta, signaling things to come as Canada seeks to liberalize its iGaming industry at a quicker pace.

The track itself will feature a number of panels that will offer attendees the opportunity to explore a variety of topics that have to do with sports betting and iGaming, and how to overcome common threats such as match-fixing and form robust regulations.

There will be a lot of chatter about the gambling market in Alberta, where experts will talk about the online and offline industries, the potential for the iGaming sector, and so much more.

The agenda will see numerous roundtable discussions set up to talk about the gambling markets in different provinces. Apart from Alberta, discussions will be held about the gambling landscape in BritishColumbia, Quebec, and Ontario, as well as the First Nations.
