This year’s Malta iGaming Seminar has developed an expanded program featuring workshops on anti-money laundering directives and taxation presented by Deloitte, jurisdictional updates from the International Masters of Gaming Law and updates from the Malta Gaming Authority on progress made over the last year toward simplifying the licensing process.
Data protection, eSports and player acquisition and retention strategies will also be up for discussion debate and debate, using session formats that enhance participation so delegates walk away with a more invested perspective and actionable ideas.
“Anyone serious about moving the industry or their operation forward will materially benefit from attending,” said i-Gaming veteran Sue Schneider, who will chair the November 7-9 conference at the Hilton Malta.
In addition, organizers further announced that Michael Caselli, one of the world’s experts in online gambling, has once again confirmed his position as a conference chair whereas AJ Thompson, another veteran from the iGaming Industry will also be a conference chair. Both iGaming veterans have supported MIGS since the event’s infancy.
Michael Caselli has been involved in the gaming industry since 1996 when he completed his MBA thesis analyzing the viability of gaming on the Internet. Since then, Michael has helped to successfully launch several online and print gaming publications, consulted on numerous iGaming projects and unites industry executives at the many iGaming events he and his companies organize. Mr. Caselli shares his expertise by participating as an organizer, host, chairman and moderator for several leading international interactive gaming conferences. In additional to his publishing role, Michael is the organizer of Fire & Ice, the iGaming industry’s largest social gathering, and Poker in the Park, Europe’s largest poker festival.
AJ Thompson has experience designing, building and operating gaming systems throughout nearly every licensed gaming jurisdiction over the past eighteen years. With a family history in the betting business, Mr. Thompson has worked as the CTO to several major i-gaming operations and has worked across the world in Curacao, London, Spain, Canada, Sweden, Philippines and in Malta amongst others.
Speaking of the confirmations, Schneider, the MIGS16 main conference chair, said “It will be a pleasure to work with both Michael and AJ in our next MIGS16 edition. Both of these two bring a world of expertise and an entertaining style to the table which ensures continuation and interactive discussion panels which is what MIGS delegates have become accustomed to over the years.”
