Published October 21, 2016 by Sol FH
The industries best and brightest will make the trip to Cape Town from the 24-26 of October for the fourth Annual BiG Africa Summit.
The BiG Africa Summit has become a stable in the biggest iGaming events around the world. The last three summits in Africa have all been deemed great successes for the growing online gaming business on the continent and this year promises to be the best one yet. The conference will be taking place from the 24 until the 26 of October at Cape Town's Century City Conference Centre & Hotel, which will be the perfect setting for this incredible event.
Key Issues
For this year's summit, the agenda will be quite interesting and informative for all attendees. Beginning with some fun activities to get people to know one another, the summit gets right into it with a number of their keynote speakers delivering their takes on the burning issues in Africa's iGaming market.
Day 1 begins with a discussion on the risks and possibilities that Africa is facing on its path toward becoming a leader in the global market. Africa has shown a ton of growth over the years and it is expected to grow much further. Sports gambling will also be talked about on the opening day with many leaders in the African industry, and from the biggest online bookmakers in the world will be offering their two cents on the topic.
Investors will also be able to hear about many of the opportunities in Africa, as well as a number of networking activities to ensure that people can connect and do business.
The second day features a number of panels, but in the early afternoon, eSports and Fantasy Sports take main stage. These areas have been on the radar of many emerging markets and Africa is keen on expanding on this area. The day concludes with some informative talks on crime and regulation.
The final day is going to be one to remember, as it is dedicated to a master class on applying lessons from land-based casinos in an online environment, presented by Arjan Korstjens from the Totally Gaming Academy in Amsterdam. From 9:00-13:00 participants will be exposed to questions and given solutions to help their online strategies tenfold. Promising to be a unique and enjoyable master class, it would be worth the trip to beautiful Cape Town to hear more about it.
