London has established a well-earned reputation for being one of the most vibrant gambling hubs in the world.
That status will be cemented further this year when the city hosts two hugely influential iGaming events in March and July.
The London Gaming Congress (LGC) is first on the agenda on March 18, while iGB L!VE will take centre stage on July 1-2.
Read on as we take a closer look at two events which will play a key role in influencing future developments in this hugely lucrative sector.
London Gaming Congress – Savoy Hotel – March 18
The London Gaming Congress (LGC) will welcome leading figures from the online gambling industry to the Savoy Hotel to discuss the hottest topics impacting stakeholders at all levels.
Operators of crypto casino platforms, regulatory representatives and iGaming innovators will be amongst the attendees who will discuss current and future opportunities.
With think tanks, masterclasses and experiential get-togethers across the whole day, this is a truly unmissable event for anyone with a vested interest in iGaming.
LGC will help individuals and organisations understand the global trends impacting the gambling business landscape and how to commercialise them.
The United Kingdom (UK) boasts one of the most respected betting sectors in the world, with around 110,000 people currently working in the industry.
It is home to many of the leading gambling operators on the planet. They collective generate annual revenues of around £14.1 billion, with over one-third of that figure coming from online platforms.
Representatives from those companies will be eager to hear from industry experts at the LGC. Their invaluable insights will help to keep the industry booming.
Professor Buck Rogers is one of the standout speakers at this year’s event. He specialises in cybersecurity risk management for regulated sectors.
Andrew Tottenham (Tottenham & Co), Richard Dennys (Game Lounge) and David Brace (Continent 8 Technologies) are other respected speakers booked to appear at LGC 2026.
iGB L!VE – ExCeL London – July 1-2
Industry professionals flocked in their droves to iGB L!VE last year, with organisers Clarion Gaming reporting record-breaking registration numbers for the prestigious event.
It will likely be a similar story at the ExCeL London in early July as attendees clamour to access more than 22,000 square metres of the latest product innovations.
Last year’s event featured the TED of iGaming comprising 30 inspiring sessions and a keynote delivered by Claire Williams OBE, the former head of the Williams Formula 1 racing team.
Pitch iGB featured five leading start-ups seeking investment and strategic partnerships, while the Sustainable Gambling Zone showcased the latest thinking on player protection.
One of the best elements of the event is iGB INTRODUCING, which connects attendees to new partners operators, agencies and affiliate programmes.
With more than 15,000 people attending the event, this innovative feature presents a fabulous opportunity to establish exciting new connections in the iGaming industry.
Attendees can also build on relationships with existing partners, discover new products and find business solutions to a wide range of industry-related problems.
Developing relationships with potential business investors, engaging with start-ups and discovering new job opportunities are other exciting features at iGB INTRODUCING.
