The London debut of the Australian gaming regulation conference will feature three networking events, including 'Pitch!'. At Pitch!, SQR's CEO Shelley Langan-Newton will discuss the keys behind the company's verification and trust model.

Already established in Australia, the Regulating the Game conference is set to arrive in London on September 25-29. It is described as a 5-day immersive program that focuses on leading-edge research, regulatory policy and practice, and ethical leadership in the gambling sector. 

Pitch! is one of three networking events at the London conference, which brings together innovators and the sector to platform new technologies, research, and policy thinking that help the industry meet and exceed minimum standards, advance efficient and effective regulation, and help invigorate the sector.

“We have had a tremendous response to Pitch! @RTG and there is a real buzz about the event. It’s exciting to bring the Regulating the Game conference to London and introduce Pitch! where firms give quick-fire presentations on leading-edge products and services that introduce step change in activities and outcomes for the sector," said Paul Newson, Principal at Senet.

"While technology is central to Pitch! we also want to stimulate discussions on innovative policy and practices in regulation, safer gambling and anti-money laundering arrangements that can uplift capability, advance AML, safer gambling and operational outcomes, and help invigorate the sector."

“We are thrilled to be a part of Pitch! @RTG London and showcase our innovative approach and technology to key figures in the global gambling industry," added Langan-Newton.

"We believe that our tech has the potential to revolutionize the way that KYC/AML compliance is conducted in the gambling sector, and we are eager to demonstrate how SQR is innovating in this area.” 

Throughout the 5-day conference, attendees will hear from leading regulators and industry experts, exchange perspectives, knowledge, and insights, and build connections that uplift capability and forge a greater understanding of the policy landscape and emerging issues and trends.

The robust discussion will challenge and provoke thinking and explore key issues, encouraging individuals and organizations across the sector to think critically about advancing effect and effective regulation while also invigorating the industry.
