SBC Events has announced that its online casino conference and exhibition CasinoBeats Malta 2020 has now evolved to become CasinoBeats Malta Digital, a fully virtual three-day conference, exhibition and networking experience.

The physical event was due to take place at the InterContinental Malta in mid-June, but with restrictions on travel and movement still affecting businesses, it has been transformed into a digital event on the new dates of 30 June to 2 July.

Delivered in association with GamingMalta, CasinoBeats Malta Digital will use the same advanced technological environment that powered the successful SBC Digital Summit in late April. CasinoBeats Malta Digital will replicate the key elements that make physical trade shows so important to the gaming industry and make them accessible to people around the world.

GamingMalta is an independent non-profit foundation set up by the Government of Malta and the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA). Tasked with the remit of promoting Malta as a centre of excellence in the digital and remote gaming sector globally, it is also responsible for liaising with the local relevant authorities to improve Malta’s attractiveness as a jurisdiction and enhance the ecosystem surrounding the gaming industry.

Ivan Filletti, Chief Operations Officer at GamingMalta, stated: “Via this collaboration with SBC, we are showcasing how Malta remains open for business, whilst celebrating the resilience of the igaming sector. The Maltese authorities’ efficient response to the COVID-19 pandemic has not gone unnoticed by international investors.

We are keen to use this platform to share with both the public and stakeholders why Malta is and remains the Home of Gaming Excellence.”

Delegates can look forward to a five-track conference featuring 120 high-level speakers from the worlds of online casino, slots, compliance, affiliate marketing and payments sharing their insights on 2020’s unique challenges and ideas about the long-term opportunities for the industry.

We’ve had fantastic backing from the speakers, sponsors and exhibitors due to participate in the physical event and who see the potential offered by the virtual conference and exhibition format, not least from key partners such as GamingMalta and KPMG Malta. So, we’re looking forward to delivering a great event for the 3,000 delegates set to join us.”

Casinobeats Malta 2020

With a little under two months to go until the second edition of CasinoBeats Malta gets underway, we are introducing the first in a number of track previews as slots come under the spotlight.

Delving into a variety of key discussions throughout the day, Slots 2020 will be chaired by Karolina Pelc, strategic advisor at Basic Strategy, and takes place on day one (Wednesday 25 March) alongside Regulation and Compliance and the KPMG Investor Forum.
Among the topics to be explored throughout the day are:
Operators and Innovation
Platforms for Success
Gamification
Inside Slots: RTP
Expert Insight: Acquisition and Personalisation
Leaders Panel
Simon Hammon, chief product officer at Relax Gaming, who participated at CasinoBeats’ inaugural event on the island, commented: “CasinoBeats and SBC events are always high-value. From the attendees to speakers, they reliably hit the mark with a clear understanding of current issues and trends. I’m looking forward to contributing again at the slot focus panel at this year’s CB Malta.
“As always, the agenda is shaping up to be interesting and I’m sure the event is going to be even more insightful than the last. The panel discussion aside, Relax Gaming had a phenomenal 2019 thanks to an overwhelmingly positive response from the market.
“I’m looking forward to showcasing our 2020 roadmap for aggregated and proprietary content as we continue to gain traction in this space, something for which we have a lot to thank our valued partners.”
The second edition of CasinoBeats Malta will be significantly larger than the 2019 debut, welcoming up to 1,500 delegates to the InterContinental Malta on March 24-26, and offering delegates unparalleled networking opportunities alongside six tracks of conference content.

Covering topics including gamification, platforms and RTP, the content will appeal to operators, suppliers and affiliates alike. The response has been excellent, with a number of high-profile speakers already secured for what promises to be an engaging and thought-provoking track.”
