“This year’s lineup of speakers is extraordinary. We have a very wide spectra of experts from inside and outside the industry. It is truly important that we all take learnings from other’s sectors to better ensure consumer protection,” says Maris Catania, head of responsible gaming and research at Kindred Group.

Crucial questions will be discussed during this year’s conference, including the questions: Sustainable Gambling – myth or reality? How can we work closer inside and outside the industry? How can we learn from other industries?

“The Sustainable Gambling Conference started six years ago, when we joined forces with the local treatment centre in Malta, FSWS. The aim has always been to have a unique set of speakers and discuss the very important topics that at times, are left ignored.

“This conference is a platform to give a voice to all involved in gambling, and allows a collaborative framework for future work. Having experts by experience, PhD students, leading researchers, affected others, and industry representatives in our arena is both beneficial and needed,” concludes Ms Catania.

Kindred Group organises the Sustainable Gambling Conference with the purpose of connecting the industry and stakeholders to discuss how we all can work together to secure a more sustainable gambling industry.
