Work behind the scenes bearing fruit
MARC DUNBAR President INTERNATIONAL MASTERS OF GAMING LAW
Welcome to September and the culmination of several months of work preparing for our autumn conference in Lisbon. Looking through the schedule of education and social events, it promises to be an exceptional experience, and I would like to extend my thanks on your behalf to our programming and organizing committees for their hard work. Lisbon will be a milestone for the IMLG as it marks the first time we have joined forces with our partners at SBC to co-locate our conference with the SBC Lisbon Summit. The tie-up has seen IMGL provide two groundbreaking panel sessions for their Leaders Conference as well as contributions to the Summit itself. I believe these platforms provide valuable exposure for IMGL and our members, and I am looking forward to seeing the fruits of this and other partnerships develop further. Attendees to our Lisbon conference are entitled to free access to the SBC Summit with its estimated 30,000 visitors and I encourage you to make the most of this opportunity. As I reported in the last edition of the IMGL Magazine, our various committees have been working hard behind the scenes and Lisbon will be an opportunity to hear from them at our member’s meeting. Our Nominations Committee has an important announcement concerning this year’s Regulator of the Year, our Education Committee is relaunching the Student Writing Competition in a revised format and our Publications and Marketing Committee has news of a tender for
SEO and Social Media support. Our Masterclass Committee now has dates of events at which IMGL will be hosting a masterclass. Like the Leaders event mentioned above, these are great platforms for members as opportunities to demonstrate the quality of IMGL member expertise and potentially to encounter clients requiring that expertise. There will also be updates on other important work to extend member benefits and enhance the presence of IMGL around the world of gaming including details of our conference program in 2026 which is already at the planning stage. At the member meeting, you will be able to pick up minutes of previous meetings and financial reports. These are also held in the member’s area of the IMGL website as part of our revised financial reporting process and commitment to greater transparency for members. Members are also invited to review the ongoing budget process and are welcome to explore ways to participate in the work of our committees. The founding principles of the IMGL are sound and strong but they allow for the organization to renew and refresh to match the constant and rapid change in our industry. I am grateful to all our committees for continuing to push boundaries and would support all members who explore how they can be a more active part of our future.
