The EUROMAT 2018 Summit will take place on 4th-6th June at the Monte Carlo Bay Hotel & Resort. Enjoying a truly spectacular setting, the summit’s home is conveniently situated just 30 minutes drive, 15 minutes by rail or 7 minutes by helicopter from Nice Airport.

For the amusements and gaming industry professionals making the trip to Monte Carlo, the impressive setting will witness a fresh new approach to the summit programme, reflecting an increasingly inclusive and forward-looking approach.

EUROMAT President Jason Frost explains: “The 2018 summit programme is the product of a great deal of consultation with Association members and other industry stakeholders. The event has always provided the perfect platform for operators and legislators to discuss topical issues and future policies.

“For the first time the summit will devote a full day to player protection and social responsibility, with new payment technologies featuring prominently on the agenda. Amusements will also feature, with a session exploring the case for liberalising the rules surrounding Redemption products in France.

“The enlarged programme is also designed to reach out to manufacturers and operators. These are the people immersed in our industry on a day-to-day basis; they’re investing in the industry and sitting within local communities. We need their perspective and hope they will attend the Summit, and benefit from networking with regulators, industry leaders, national industry associations and also their peers from around Europe,” confirms Jason.

The Summit programme ensures a packed two days, plus an evening networking reception for the many guests who will arrive on the previous evening.
