A two-day gambling conference being organized and hosted by tradeshow producer, Clarion Events/ATE is looking as if it will be a very informative session about the future of online gambling.  Clarion is currently hyping up the event, which they say will be devoted to examining the new multi-platform gambling industry.  With great emphasis being put on the online sectors, there will also be discussions on interactive television, in-flight gambling and the PSP (not sure why, if underage gambling is a concern to them).

Over twenty notable speakers in their respective fields have been marked to attend the event on July 4 and 5, including Richard Swann of Victor Chandler, and Simon Swanson of Wild Jack Casino.  The gentleman will understandably be talking about mobile gambling, and how other online casino operators can use a successful mobile strategy to develop the beginnings of an expansive multi-platform.  They will be talking about how back-end management can analyze player usage on a mobile casino platform, how current mobile technologies can be further developed, as well as the new online products and enhancements that current mobile operators can put to use.

In addition to a discussion of the specific nature's of the technologies beginning to emerge in the mobile sector, a topic entitled "What is the impact of regulations on emerging technologies?" will be presented.  In what will most likely be a discussion of the soon-to-be-enacted UK Gambling Act, as well as the most prominent online gambling regulatory bodies like the Kahnawake Gaming Commission, the objective is to get operators to thinking with creative optimism, and to use the increased standards of regulation to their advantage.

Also on the agenda is a presentation by Poker Zone's Jim Sibcy and NDS's Paul Ranger regarding interactive television and at-home, real-time betting.  NDS has a great deal of experience in the industry - their most recent exploit being with SKY Italia satellite television, in which NDS developed an entire infrastructure enabling television watchers to engage in live betting through two prominent bookmakers linked to their tellies.  Although the interactive sector appears to be an emerging platform for online casinos and gambling operators, the technology has been around for a few years, with nothing much to show for.  This will also be addressed in the discussion.

All those in attendance will be coming together as a single unit to not only collaborate and establish new partnerships, but to help determine the next step for the online casino gambling industry as a whole to keep up with evolving technology and new standards of regulation.
