While the team work to confirm the IAGR2026 programme, I want to share a little of what attendees can expect when we gather in Lima in October.

The theme this year — Steady hands, shifting ground: Advancing regulation in a connected world — reflects where many of us find ourselves: managing familiar responsibilities while navigating new territory. The Lima programme is being designed with that in mind.

It’ll be practical, operational and internationally grounded. Less about general commentary, more about what regulators are doing and what is working.

Without getting ahead of a full programme announcement, I can say that the sessions will give weight to enforcement and cross-border cooperation, prediction markets and emerging products, AML, technology and modern supervision, and the challenge of regulating in an increasingly connected world. Harmonisation and intelligence-sharing will also feature prominently. These are areas where peer exchange has real value, and we’re designing the programme to create space for that.

I’m also pleased to announce something new for Lima: the Emerging Technology Showcase. This will be a dedicated space for regulators to engage directly with cutting-edge tools and technology relevant to modern supervision. More details to follow soon.

Full programme details will be released in due course. In the meantime, early bird registration remains open until 30 June and I would encourage anyone still weighing up attendance to secure your place and lock in flights.

This week, our Vice President Brian Krolicki spoke at the Argentine Association of State Lotteries, Casinos and Pools International Workshop in Mendoza, Argentina — a gathering of Latin American regulators and industry specialists. Brian addressed illegal gambling, international regulatory coordination, and emerging frontier products, continuing the regional dialogue we hope to deepen in Lima in October.

As always, thank you for your engagement and support.
