A few words from previous conference attendees
"Though gaming regulations are a national business, it is important to network, knowledge - share and collaborate with peers from all over the world, to raise the level of experience and expertise in the global gaming regulation. Attending the IAGR conferences also provide us with information about new tendencies, which inspire us in our daily work."
"As a regulator for twenty years, I regard the annual IAGR conference as the most valuable networking meeting point. Attending this conference you will share and achieve knowledge, establish new connections, and listen to very qualified speakers."
“The IAGR conference consistently provides a fabulous agenda filled with expert speakers and engaging content from which I have benefitted enormously. I have made extensive contacts with fellow regulators that I often call upon for support, knowledge and learning and pleased to say I am frequently asked to provide the same to others. Without IAGR my learning, as a regulator, would have been slower and my missteps greater.”

Frequently asked questions
Your questions, answered. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, contact us on iagr@iagr.org.
How do I buy a ticket to the conference?
Head here to buy your ticket.
If you need assistance or have any questions, contact iagr@iagr.org.
Do I need a visa to enter Italy?
It’s essential to look into the rules of visiting Italy from your jurisdiction well before you travel.
Italy is part of the Schengen Agreement that allows visa-free travel within the European Union (EU) for nationals of certain countries. Schengen is a passport-free zone with 27 member states that covers most European countries. Depending on your nationality, there may be different entry requirements into the Schengen region, but EU nationals can travel freely to Italy with no limits on the length of stay. Outside of the EU, citizens of 60+ countries, including citizens from the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, the USA and Canada can travel visa-free to Italy for a maximum of 90 days within any 180-day period. You will still need a valid passport to enter Schengen countries.
If you are from a country that is not part of the Schengen free-travel agreement, you will most likely require a Schengen visa before arriving in Italy. Some of the countries included in this are Botswana, China, Egypt, India, Indonesia, South Africa and Zimbabwe.
You can find out more about the requirements to enter Italy and see if you need a visa here.
