The International Association of Gaming Regulators (IAGR)'s annual conference wrapped up in Melbourne last week with around 250 regulators, industry stakeholders and thought leaders in attendance. Event organizers are now focused on the 2023 edition, which will be held in Gaborone, Botswana. More information on dates and the conference theme will be announced "soon."

In a press release, Jason Lane, IAGR President and CEO of the Jersey Gambling Commission, discussed this year's edition and said it was "our best conference yet, with an outstanding program of speakers presenting a wide range of insights, research and innovative practices to attendees."
