The online sports betting industry is happy to hear they will be well represented at the first ever BetMarkets Conference held Monday, March 26 and Tuesday, March 27, 2007. Signed up for the itinerary are keynote speakers from gambling giants like BetFair, SportingBet and Ladbrokes, whom will discuss a variety of topics related to the sports betting industry.

Deemed a "senior level conference", BetMarkets is for both online and land-based sports betting operators who are seeking to expand their services in blossoming markets, develop industry contacts, culminate new marketing schemes, circumnavigate legal obstacles and develop new online gaming technology. All the aforementioned are just a few of the topics that will be covered via conference talkbacks and workshops.

One of the most anticipated speakers will be Jean Bergevin, who is Head of Unit in DG MRKT - the branch responsible for sports betting activities in the European Commission. Bergevin will be speaking on the current and future growth trends for the European gambling industry, to include both the online and land-based sectors. Other speakers include Kevin Hopgood from International Business Development at Ladbrokes, Sisal CEO - Giorgio Sandi, Sales Director at SportingBet - Matt Jellicoe and BetFair's Northern Europe Business Development Manager, Jacob Weinreich.

Those parties interested in attending can either choose to register for full access to all sessions and classes over both days or to simply participate in the networking breaks and social events scheduled throughout the conference. The ATE Online website offers a registration page, as well as a full itinerary of the scheduled events.
