ABOUT THE EVENT
For the fourth time, Finnish iGaming Events is organizing the only international gaming conference in Finland. The event continues to grow in popularity as Finland approaches the opening of its licensing market in 2027. As in previous years, the 2026 program will be comprehensive, offering broad insights and forward-looking perspectives from leading industry professionals.
Finland’s new gambling legislation has now been approved by Parliament, following the completion of the European Union notification process. This marks a major shift in the Finnish gambling market and enables concrete discussion and analysis around the upcoming licensing system.
The licensing application period will open on 1 March 2026, and the licensed gambling market will enter into force on 1 July 2027. By the time of the September 2026 conference, the regulatory framework, licensing requirements, and market outlook will be significantly clearer.
The conference will provide a comprehensive overview of Finland’s new Gambling Act and licensing model, presented by regulatory authorities and industry experts. The programme also covers key topics such as payments and customer identification, marketing and communications, artificial intelligence, and the evolving relationship between gambling and entertainment gaming.
The event will be held in Helsinki, at Hilton Kalastajatorppa. In addition to the impressive conference facilities, the venue is ideal for extending the weekend in the capital region.
The event will be held in English.
ABOUT last EVENT
”Once more have to say that it was an amazing event, not just in terms of networking and meeting new and familiar faces - but also in terms of the content and discussions.”
”Proudly organised by the amazing Finnish iGaming Events crew 💪.”
"Finnish iGaming Conference was a great success. I had the honor of being the keynote speaker at the beginning of the seminar and moderating the CEO panel that ended the event. In between, it was nice to chat with several friends and make new contacts.
