The Canadian gaming industry reconvened virtually on June 9-10 for the 2021 Virtual Canadian Gaming Summit with so many things to talk about.

The theme of this year’s Summit was Facing the Future TOGETHER, recognizing the industry’s position today and where we may go from here. Th Summit featured keynote presentations, education sessions, supplier technology sessions from prominent and expert presenters covering key topics based on today’s gaming industry environment while also looking ahead.

You can now watch the full extensive Summit programming at canadiangamingsummit.com. Find the sessions from Day 1 of the Summit here, and Day 2’s sessions here.

The Canadian Gaming Summit is the only conference and trade show in Canada that serves the entire Canadian gaming industry. The annual event is built on its extensive educational program, developed by industry educational program committees representing all facets of the industry.

In advance of the two-day virtual Summit, a series of pre-Summit webinars were also delivered in April, May, and June.

The remarkable resilience our industry demonstrated this past year – reconfiguring of business operations to manage closures, reopenings, and closures again – is proof of the strong leadership and dedication of employees and companies across the country.

Everyone at Canadian Gaming Business, MediaEdge Communications, and the Canadian Gaming Association understands how challenging and unprecedented the current situation is, and we want to ensure that we can help prepare the industry to safely and gradually re-open as the situation allows.

In the meantime, stay safe.
