Canadian Gaming Summit 2025 heads to Toronto with industry-shaping agenda

The Canadian Gaming Summit 2025 will take place at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre from June 17 to 19, bringing together over 3,000 industry leaders and 150 speakers to address the most pressing issues in Canadian gaming.

Key issues on the agenda include the potential return of international liquidity to Ontario, the long-anticipated opening of Alberta’s online gaming market, and the role of artificial intelligence in player protection. Regulatory changes, compliance, and political shifts will also be under the spotlight.

Six conference tracks will cover leadership, player protection, sports betting and casino, advertising and affiliation, payments and compliance, and cybersecurity.

A major highlight of the summit will be the Player Protection Symposium, a focused program addressing AI-powered player support tools, self-exclusion efficacy, and new behavioral approaches to safer gambling.

The Sports Betting & Casino track will highlight emerging trends like micro-betting, omnichannel strategies, and the rise of women’s sports betting. Sessions will also cover the potential return of daily fantasy sports.

Moreover, marketing, payments, and technology innovation will also take center stage. Affiliates and operators are also shifting toward content-led brand strategies and customer loyalty initiatives amidst Ontario’s stricter advertising rules. The sessions will also focus on advancements in digital wallets, blockchain applications, and cybersecurity.
