Leading gaming testing company Gaming Laboratories International hosted a complimentary half-day regulators seminar at the recent
Conference of the International Association of Gaming Regulators.
GLI President and CEO James Maida welcomed participants to the seminar and gave a brief update of GLI activity in jurisdictions around the world, saying, “It was both a pleasure and a privilege to present our half-day regulators seminar to such an esteemed group of industry colleagues. My thanks the outstanding team at IAGR for giving us the opportunity to host this valuable educational event during this year’s annual conference.
“Set against the backdrop of an ever-changing global regulatory landscape, the thoughtfully curated topics we presented offered a great deal of relevant, timely and useful information to help regulators around the world successfully overcome challenges and accomplish their goals and objectives. We appreciated the positive reaction from seminar attendees and look forward to partnering with IAGR for future educational events such as this.”
