GLI Europe announces plans for GLI University's "2012 European Roundtable"

HILLEGOM, The Netherlands (PRESS RELEASE) – Gaming Laboratories International (GLI), the world's leading gaming testing laboratory and technical consultancy, and its European entity, GLI Europe BV, have been growing rapidly to keep pace with the ever-changing casino gaming and iGaming industries. Now to help regulators keep pace with advances in technology, GLI Europe is announcing plans for GLI University’s "2012 European Roundtable."

The 2012 European Roundtable will be staged 9-10 May at the Marriott Hotel in Budapest, Hungary. The conference is presented free of charge to regulators, and registration is available now at www.gaminglabs.com/euroundtable2012. Room reservations are available at the Budapest Marriott.

"There have been many dramatic developments in terrestrial gaming, lotteries, and in iGaming over the past year, and it is extremely important for regulators to be continually educated on developments that may affect their jurisdictions," said GLI Europe’s Managing Director Martin Britton.

"That is the whole purpose behind our Roundtable series – to bring regulators together to listen, learn and share common experiences for the good of the entire industry," he added.

Last year's European Roundtable drew more than 40 regulators from 21 countries. Many jurisdictions attended the Roundtable for the first time in its seven-year history, including Czech Republic, Greece, Hungary, Montenegro, Poland and Romania.

"We strongly recommend that finance ministers, CIOs, CTOs, iGaming regulators, lottery regulators, gambling commissions and gaming committees security directors and slot operations directors attend the Roundtable. We are bringing in leading experts to discuss today’s most relevant topics, and we are confident these will be two days extremely well spent by all attendees," Britton said.

Scheduled to present at the event is a mix of the region’s most influential technology experts, iGaming and land-based regulators, leading suppliers and GLI staff. A complete agenda will be released in the coming days.

GLI's Roundtable is a one-of-a-kind event in the gaming industry, where regulators gather to learn about the latest technological developments and their potential regulatory impact, and to openly discuss regulations with one another in a private setting. The event is part of the company's GLI University, an exclusive program that offers continuing education and vital training to regulators around the world, and each year, GLI produces Roundtable events around the globe.

For more than 20 years, Gaming Laboratories International, LLC has been the world leader in providing independent testing, inspection and certification services to the gaming, wagering and lottery industry. GLI also offers independent network and information security assessments to its regulatory, lottery and supplier clients.

With 20 laboratory locations located across Africa, Asia, Australia, the Caribbean, Europe, North America and South America, GLI is the only global organization of its kind to hold U.S. and international accreditations for compliance with ISO/IEC 17025, 17020 and guide 65 standards for technical competence in the gaming, wagering and lottery industries.
