Confirmed speakers include Peter Hannibal, group eGaming director of the Gala Coral Group, Robert Corbett, partner at Arthur Cox Solicitors, Geoffrey Godbold, chief executive officer GamCare, Norman Crowley, chief executive officer Inspired Gaming and Tom Kavanagh, deputy chief executive officer of the UK Gambling Commission.
