NEWS AND VIEWS FROM THE IGAMING CONFERENCE ORGANISERS Allin Global
Eman Pulis, SiGMA
1: Due to the slow spread of the vaccine, the first quarter of exhibitions are under risk of failure. But the possibility of the Sigma exhibition in November is more attractive. The design hall is already sold. The first mega-exhibition in the world, and likely to be Covid!
2: There are also virtual sessions, but I can't wait for the full show. I have a lot of one little thing: we need the industry. We need the industry. Actually, my first fear was that it would not be useful, but it was short-term. Rudolph stated that, in fact, you should not fly at the same time for meetings and would rather Zoom. But nothing has the capacity to match the rich program of meetings for 2-3 days of meetings. After all, flying for 50 not bad meetings is very profitable!
Zoom does not compare to the ecstasy of meetings! This is exactly the same as actually combining Coldplay on Spotify with VIP seats for the UK show. For all these reasons, the complicated times came naturally for me and my team. At the very least, the cooperation of buyers and other companies involved in event organization is very encouraging for us. As a company, we gained a significant number of new members and our defeat was imposed on the fruit. Now, Sigma is also a press agency that covers 10 languages and is definitely considered the strongest event & media website in its category. We achieved this despite all the difficulties during the pandemic.
3: I urge the instigators such as Clarion, Page, SBC to stick with others and not give up on affiliate buyers and colleagues! I believe there is light at the end of the tunnel and we will definitely come out stronger.
Felix Ng, Asia Gaming Brief
1. In the second half of 2021, we plan to revive live events such as the ASEAN Gaming Summit, Mekong Gaming Summit, and Asia Gaming Boom Alumni Reunion.
2. Last year, we started holding more niche digital events as it was difficult to hold large-scale overnight events. Like the digital forum "Life Pogo", which gathered more than 400 students in December 2020. Indeed, we expect such "surgical" events to continue in the future.
3. 2020, this epidemic is very likely to be a big catalyst for Asia Gaming Brief, the likes of which we have never experienced before. We, like many other companies, had the opportunity to take a step back and think about our proposition. Looking back now, we can say that although it was a difficult year, it gave us a foothold to bring more timely and valuable information to our audience than ever before. We look forward to the new challenge.
Zoltan Tundik, European Gaming Media and Events
1. We will be conducting the P Rague Gaming Summit in a hybrid format on May 28th.

3. We can't complain about the history that has shaped us, such as how it has definitely revitalized and helped to get us to a certain extent. Almost all industrial shareholders have discovered the quality of our content on events and, in fact, it was not possible before. We have a positive outlook for 2021, because in 2020 the baptismal battle was already played out and when we held the last live conference before the block, we no longer had to hold a virtual event and were able to hold a hybrid event in Tallinn.
Of course, we miss the live conferences and the secular rats at night, but the recollections about all these conferences and smiles give us strength in our efforts!
Sam Cooke, Esports Insider
1. We were somewhat neat when organizing our events in 2021 and we still are. Secondly, we will continue to publish digital publications in 2020, but we will stick to our contract, with the belief that quality is more important than quantity. As a result, we plan to publish ESI-digital three times a year (spring, summer and winter).
When we talk about IRL events, we are wise and close to reality, the United Kingdom (ESI London is the en d-the first quarter), for example, on stage (in the United States and Asia ) I will consider it like. Of course, we are looking forward to their return, but we don't want to spend them in a 100 % non-modest way, so we have this match. In fact, we can accept them in consideration of magnificent events!
We also started in the second quarter of 2020, and we are activating our intentions about our "business" series, the "business" series of the essential tournament we owned with the platform. It has been forced to show it. We will inform you of the details soon.
2. This year, ESI Digital will hold three events.
- ESI Digital Sprin g-March 30-31
- ESI Digital Summer (tentative name) August 19-20
- ESI Digital Winte r-December 8-9
In the third quarter, we are convinced that we will return to a major physiological meeting with ESI London, and this year we are planning a meeting in Asia and the United States.
Martin Petterson and Pierre Lindh, iGaming NEXT
1. We are very pleased that Igaming is next and Igaming IDOL 2021 will be held on October 20-21 at MCC in VALLETT, Malta. We trust this event marking the new era of new-generation events for the Igaming-Industry, and our work is not a bad event, but our work is sponsored by the event. It is all about creating a new fact that it is essential, and what is actually needed, with the feeling that they were the most important events in the Igaming-industry they have ever participated in. Forget the participants.
2. We continue to issue Igaming NEXT podcasts every week and hold the Igaming NEXT power hour every month. It has proved that it is a cool equipment that can be arranged at a low price of calories-spirit and industry ideas. We believe that these events are quite related to subsequent industry formation. As a result, in 2021, we plan to expand our proposals at more digital events and podcasts for the benefit of everyone.
3. This year we have become a digital and live event hybrid year, and we are looking forward to 2021. Almost all digital initiatives, which started in 2020, will continue in the pos t-CORONA era. It may sound a little cheaper, but frankly, Corona was unfortunate for Igaming Next. She was forced to do three years of innovation and intensive work in three months, and actually changed our company. We spent all the time spent on operating and execution by expanding the network and trying new ideas. In an economic project, this is, of course, painful, but if you think of this time as an investment, this is one of the best events for us and the foundation of our wonderful future. And our innovator friends and other conference colleagues are even thought that almost all of them will have the same experience. It may be painful now, but we are all better people, and it will appear in the 2021 event in a visible way (if everything goes well!).
Rasmus Sojmark, Sports Betting Community (SBC)
1: Starting with the Casinobeats Summit held in Malta on May 18-20, I am glad that the absolute program for live events is planned at the end of 2021. Incorporating a topical digital format so that the audience is limited to 750 people in the venue so that people around the world can watch content online. After that, SBC Summit North America in New Jersey on June 8-10, SBC Summit Barcelona on September 21-24, SBC Summit Latin America in Cancun on October 27-28, November 9-11. We plan to hold Betting on Sports Europe in London.
Regarding the 2:2021 digital event, we decided to focus on specific vertical markets and fields to provide participants to provide opportunities to understand the market deeply. Program link

3: This stage has definitely enhanced the company's unity, despite a very difficult year. On the other hand, I felt guilty about the hardships and efforts of everyone to maintain this year, and on the other hand, they have accomplished their loving colleagues and to keep them intact. I feel endless pride. I take off my hat for a team working with this original and effective method :)
I can't escape from the precedent that 2020 was a difficult year for the industry as a whole, but when I look back, almost everyone has learned from this skill. With the provision of a virtual event, it has become possible to reach more audiences than ever before, and thanks to all information and feedback gained from digital space, it is more aware of visitors, exhibitors, and sponsors. It has come. This knowledge will definitely help to provide even higher quality digital and physiological events this year.
I miss the live event, but I'm looking forward to the resumption. As long as vaccines are distributed around the world, some restrictions may remain, so this year's event may be a little different. However, we do not doubt that the participants can create a harmless environment where they can enjoy all the merits of their communication at show venues and social events. "
The Al l-i n-Global blog also has contacts Clarion, Izontas and Smile Expo. < SPAN> I can't escape from the precedent that 2020 was a difficult year for the whole industry, but looking back on it, almost everyone has learned from this skill.
