Prepare for the largest gaming gathering in Asia, as sector pioneers and specialists convene at the Shangri-La Hotel on Tuesday, March 19th. The action begins promptly at 9 am with introductory remarks from Alejandro H. Tengco, the chairman of PAGCOR (the Philippines’ gaming authority). He’ll be providing perspectives on the present condition of the sector, succeeded by a principal address from Thomas Arasi, the chief executive at Bloomberry Resorts (proprietors of Solaire, one of the most renowned casinos in the Philippines).
But hold on, there’s more! Alex Leese, the head of Pronet Gaming, will be offering us some confidential knowledge during an informal conversation. And brace yourselves because we have a senior executive panel discussion showcasing industry titans like Simon Lidzén from Fast Track and Michael Charlton, the leader of Entain in Asia.
Tuesday’s schedule is chock-full of dialogues concerning the trajectory of gaming in the Philippines. We’ll listen to influential figures such as Congressman Gus Tambunting and PAGCOR board representative Gilbert Remulla, who’ll be imparting their invaluable viewpoints.
And that’s not the end! Get set for a sequence of energetic panel conversations encompassing everything from the newest advancements in AI and digital transactions to tactics for engaging patrons and remaining ahead of the curve regarding anti-money laundering measures. And to conclude it all, there’s a networking social gathering where you can connect with the elite of the industry.
