Player Protection Symposium: 40/40 Club, November 30, 2021
Posted on
EPIC Risk Management is proud to be hosting the inaugural and ground-breaking Player Protection Symposium in partnership with SBC Events at Manhattan’s 40/40 Club on November 30, 2021.
The Symposium is the first high-level event dedicated to building a robust gambling harm prevention ecosystem as legal sports betting and igaming roll out across the U.S.
The exclusive invite-only gathering will bring together 100 C-level stakeholders from politics, the media, and the sports and gambling industries to discuss and present strategies to prevent gambling harm and discuss a unified approach to the issue.
As part of the Symposium, the keynote talk will kick off with the American radio personality best known as the co-host of the Carton and Roberts sports radio program on WFAN (AM), Craig Carton. The panels will bring together Major League sports, industry CEOs and leading innovators within the gambling ecosystem.
The invitation-only event, to be held ahead of the SBC Summit North America 2021, will focus on a solution-based approach to gambling harm minimization, informed by the experience of problems in Europe’s long-established sports betting markets, and the training required to develop a sustainable industry in the U.S.
