Industry conferences and exhibitions will return to Malta in March with the launch of Spring iGaming Week.

Delivered jointly by SBC Events, KPMG Malta and GamingMalta, SIW2021 offers senior executives a series of industry business and networking events that will once again draw gaming professionals from all over the world to the island.

Kicking off the week is the KPMG Malta Gaming eSummit. In its third year, the eSummit will host 400 senior and C-level gaming industry executives at the Westin Dragonara in St Julian’s on March 22.

The centerpiece of Spring iGaming Week is CasinoBeats Summit 2021, which will take place at the InterContinental in St Julian’s on March 23-24. CBS2021 will welcome up to 2,000 delegates to two full days of conference content, exhibition and networking.

The two events will combine to offer visitors three days of opportunity and three nights of networking, culminating in the CBS2021 closing poker party, Molly’s Malta Game, which will be hosted by Casino Malta and American author and entrepreneur Molly Bloom.

Commenting on the collaboration,  Russell Mifsud, Director and Gaming Lead for KPMG Malta, said, “The eSummit is an invitation-only conference, reserved for executives and thought leaders. We bring together some of the brightest minds in the industry to discuss, deliberate and anticipate the industry’s challenges, while also exploring the sustainable opportunities, in the comfort of one’s peers.”

SBC CEO & Founder, Rasmus Sojmark, said: “After a challenging 2020, physical events will return to the betting and gaming sector after more than a year without any. And what better place to do it than Malta?”

Ivan Filletti, Chief Operating Officer of GamingMalta, added: “We believe that Malta is gaming’s heartland and it is fitting that the return of physical conferences and exhibitions to the sector will be on the island.”

The Game Developer Showcase offers game providers the chance to present recent launches and to unveil new titles for 2021. Game Developer Awards will be handed out, voted for by a panel of judges and by the audience on the day.
