London Prepares to Host the Inaugural iGB Startup Summit as Part of iGB L!VE

Key Highlights of the Debut Event

Approximately 15,000 delegates have already confirmed their attendance at the summit. Clarion Gaming is preparing both an extensive presentation and a dedicated event for emerging brands, which was developed in collaboration with the accelerator company Defy the Odds.

The gathering's programme features a dynamic range of activities, including:

• round tables;
• panel discussions;
• private networking sessions;
• fireside chats, and more.

The initiative is dedicated to supporting startup projects by helping them connect with investors and establish partnerships with key industry players. The event is designed to foster productive communication between major enterprises, venture funds, emerging iGaming brands, and entrepreneurs seeking sponsorship. Niche specialists will enrich discussions with their expert opinions, insights and guidance.

The inaugural summit will be held exclusively for invited participants, ensuring a focused and productive atmosphere. The South Gallery Rooms, situated just above the bustling ExCel London exhibition centre, have been selected as the venue for this special gathering.

Commentaries from the Event’s Organisers

As highlighted in the iGB press release, the newly introduced summit is poised to become a pivotal event for emerging niche entrepreneurs. This gathering promises unparalleled opportunities for networking with prominent figures from private equity firms, major funding organisations, and other key stakeholders in the industry.

Naomi Barton, Clarion’s Global Portfolio Director, acknowledged the challenges that startups encounter, such as securing investment, finding experienced mentors, and building a decent reputation. At the same time, established corporations often lack a unified platform to connect with promising newcomers and gain early access to groundbreaking iGaming innovations.

To address these gaps, the organisers have developed an exclusive space designed to unite both sides. This summit offers a unique opportunity to forge strategic partnerships and channel additional funding into the industry, boosting growth and innovation across the entertainment sector.
