Valhalla Investments Chairman Mark Blanford said: “It’s great to see a fresh format for an event in this industry and particularly one that combines business, education and networking. I also like the fact that it’s free and personalised for each delegate, which opens it up to all levels and areas of the industry.”
H2 Gambling Capital Director Simon Holliday said: “EGR Live is just what this industry needs “ a fresh new event with real business and networking opportunities and the concept of creating your own itinerary is a really good idea. Running it alongside EGR Awards is perfect, creating a real industry gathering and a great use of your time.”
