KPMG has announced that it is holding an online gaming summit on the Isle of Man, with the aim of bringing the sector's major players and service providers together to discuss the island's potential in the global marketplace.
The inaugural KPMG eGaming Summit will be held on November 23 at the Mount Murray Hotel on the Isle of Man. Key stakeholders and decision makers will attend by invitation, to consider and debate how to ensure the Isle of Man remains a good place to play.
The programme will consider issues impacting the sector as a whole, with specific emphasis on businesses licensed in and operating from the Isle of Man. This will include an update from the Isle of Man Government’s Gambling Supervision Commission and Department of Economic Development. A panel workshop will consider the changing environment and key issues. There will also be sessions with speaker who will discuss regulation in the sector, responsible gaming, new developments globally and what it means to be a service provider to the gaming sector.
Russell Kelly, director responsible for eGaming services at KPMG Isle of Man, commented: "The egaming sector is expanding globally and is already a major contributor to the Manx economy. It is crucially important that the island continues to make itself an attractive jurisdiction for the licensing and operation of online gaming companies. This involves input from the government, key industry players and service providers in finance, IT and a variety of other key sectors. This summit will bring those key players together to discuss the needs of the industry as it grows and develops."
