Sweden and the Nordics is the cradle for many of the major iGaming operators who have been operating remotely on the Swedish market through Maltese licenses for the past 10-20 years. As Sweden reregulates, the Centre for Business History in Stockholm releases a comprehensive history book outlining the remote era of Swedish iGaming between 1997-2018, to be presented during the i-Gaming Forum in April.
The i-Gaming Forum is taking place at the Stockholm International Affairs in Älvsjö, Stockholm, on the 11th of April 2019. The event is organized by Techbook and will feature a deep dive into the consequences as Sweden reregulates its market in 2019.
This year, the organisers have decided to go big with the choice of relocating to the Stockholm International Fairs as the venue, which will also hold an affiliate conference, and a blockchain forum as well as an expo space. The evening on the 10th of April will inaugurate the event with an invite-only exclusive C-level dinner in collaboration with SiGMA.
The i-Gaming Forum will also host the official presentation of the history book The Remote Swedish iGaming Industry authored by Dennis Avorin and Karin Jansson Myhr and published by the reputable Centre for Business History in Stockholm. The book, which offers a comprehensive historical outline and in-depth interviews with the founders of the major Swedish iGaming companies, is a testament to the long journey from the early days of online gaming until one of the major markets, Sweden, finally regulates its market and iGaming has completed its transformation into a respected and consolidated industry.
“We are happy to have managed to gather all these exciting companies into one single book which offers valuable insight into how these companies were built, the entrepreneurs behind the success stories, and the people working in this industry. I am certain that it will provide a valuable contribution in increasing knowledge about the iGaming industry among curious readers across all sectors,” says Dennis Avorin, one of the co-authors and the initiator of the project.
Moreover, the first 20 delegates to buy tickets for the i-Gaming Forum, will receive a free copy of the book when entering the conference. The speaker line-up for the i-Gaming Forum includes Camilla Rosenberg, Director General of the Swedish Gambling Authority; Anders Årbrandt, Managing Director at Novamedia Sverige AB; Gustaf Hagman, CEO of LeoVegas; Bengt Jönsson, Chairman at ATG; along with a multitude of top level iGaming executives and professionals.
The agenda of the one-day conference includes topics such as Matchfixing, Mergers and Acquisitions, Esports & Fantasy Sports, two CEO Discussions, as well as debates on how the Swedish regulations will impact advertising, and how blockchain will impact the iGaming industry.
The i-Gaming Forum is a must-go for anyone who wish to dive deeper into the actual implications of the Swedish iGaming regulations and network with C-Suite professionals as well as some of the most innovative start-ups and affiliates in the field.
