Gaming in Holland Conference announces new speakers, unveils pre-conference program

The Gaming in Holland Conference, which will take place on June 5 in Amsterdam, has added several new speakers to its agenda. Björn Fuchs, newly appointed Chair of VNLOK, and Henry Meijdam, who heads the VAN Kansspelen trade association, will both make an appearance at the event.

Fuchs and Meijdam join an impressive speaker lineup that includes Arjan Blok, CEO of Nederlandse Loterij; Renske Fikkers, Head of Market Supervision at the Netherlands Gambling Authority; and Henk Willem Smits, investigative reporter at Follow the Money.

The organizers have also welcomed as a special guest former NOGA Chair, Peter-Paul de Goeij, who has promised to offer a no-holds-barred reflection on the (in)efficacy of Dutch gambling regulation.

They also welcomed Rohan Tare, Head of IT Customer Interaction at ABN AMRO, who will discuss the growing threat of AI-supported identity fraud – a topic that is highly relevant for any business dependent on remote customer interaction.

Willem van Oort, Founder of Gaming in Holland, commented: "We are extremely pleased with our current speaker lineup. All key stakeholders and decision makers in the Dutch gambling industry will be represented at our event."

"As always, the Gaming in Holland Conference is the best place to meet the people who matter in the Dutch regulated market. Moreover, we have taken the utmost care to ensure that all relevant developments and topics will be addressed at our conference. We almost can't wait for our event to kick off!" he added.

In addition to the main program, the Gaming in Holland Conference also features several highly practical breakout sessions. Furthermore, the conference will also offer plenty of networking opportunities during coffee breaks, lunch, and the traditional boat tour through Amsterdam's picturesque canals.

Last but not least, the award ceremony of the Dutch Online Casino of the Year Awards will take place during the Gaming in Holland networking drinks at Holland Casino Amsterdam. All GiH Conference attendees are invited to attend the festivities.

The GiH Conference includes free admission to two certificate-granting workshops, which are generously provided by Chevron Consultants.

Workshop #1 is titled "Establishing a learning and training culture in your company with an LMS" and discusses the proper implementation and benefits of a Learning Management System.

Workshop #2 is titled "Compliance performance audits" and will teach participants how to structure audits in line with ISO 19011 and how to evaluate the performance of compliance procedures.

Both workshops will take place on June 4, the day prior to the main event, and are free to attend for paying GiH Conference attendees.

"All conference attendees are invited to join us for informal drinks and traditional Dutch “bitterballen” at Café Bistro Rijnbar in Amsterdam on June 4, from 19:00 until late. The first round is on us!" the organizers concluded.

Registration for the Gaming in Holland Conference is now open.
