Introduction to this publication: Quirino Mancini, IMGL President
Welcome to the first set of proceedings published following an IMGL conference. Not only is this a faithful and accurate record of the excellent conference sessions we enjoyed in Zurich in September 2023, it also brings back some very fond memories of the social program we shared together. Over 20+ years IMGL conferences have become part of who we are as an organization. They are an essential aspect of becoming a member and for good reason. The knowledge and contacts gained at our biannual gatherings make them must-attend events for the gaming lawyer looking to keep pace with the rate of change to the laws and regulations which surround our industry worldwide. I am sure this publication will act not only as a tremendous resource for those looking to expand their knowledge of gaming law, but it will also be a powerful proof of concept for those looking to join or partner with the IMGL and especially those who are considering hosting an IMGL conference in their jurisdiction. I would like to give credit and thanks to Dr. Simon Planzer who, as well as leading the organization of the IMGL Zurich conference, has provided the impetus and energy to deliver this excellent publication. Alongside him, I should like to congratulate and thank Phil Savage, our Head of Publications and European Affairs, for his tireless work in bringing this publication to completion. Without this enormous effort, a publication of this sort would not have seen the light of day. I should also like to thank our Executive Director, Brien van Dyke, for her outstanding support of the Organizing Committee during the build up and running of our IMGL Zurich conference. Above all, I should thank all those members, guests and sponsors who have supported IMGL conferences over the years. I hope you enjoy this publication, and I look forward to seeing you at many of our events in the future. Quirino Mancini, IMGL President
