The interactive entertainment realm is abuzz with anticipation! Prepare for a significant assembly descending upon Manila on Tuesday, March 19th. Envision it as the paramount convocation for the interactive entertainment sector in Eastern Asia, attracting prominent figures and specialists from every corner of the world.
Activities commence promptly at 9 AM. Alejandro H. Tengco, the chairman of PAGCOR (the Philippines’ gaming regulatory body), will initiate the proceedings by discussing the present condition of the industry. Subsequently, brace yourself for perspectives from Thomas Arasi, the chief executive of Bloomberry Resorts Corp, a leading entity in the Philippines.
However, there’s much more in store! The schedule is replete with informal conversations and group discussions featuring industry titans such as Pronet Gaming, Fast Track, and Entain. They will delve into the intricate details shaping the Asian gaming panorama.
And if your interest lies specifically in the Philippines, you’re in for a treat. Influential figures like Congressman Gus Tambunting and PAGCOR board member Gilbert Remulla, alongside other seasoned professionals, will impart their wisdom on the local landscape.
Spanning artificial intelligence, digital transactions, player satisfaction, and anti-money laundering measures, the day’s panel discussions will encompass a wide array of topics. To conclude, a networking function will provide an opportunity to connect and socialize!
The conference’s second day is poised to be a whirlwind of knowledge and prospects, commencing with an opening address from Ms. Katrina Ponce-Enrile, the influential CEO of the Cagayan Economic Zone Authority. She will impart her distinct viewpoint on the region’s remarkable economic expansion and its implications for companies aiming to invest in the times ahead. Cybersecurity, a subject perpetually at the forefront in today’s digital realm, will also take a prominent position.
Subsequently, prepare for an informal conversation with Walter Power, CEO of the renowned Okada Manila. He will share his extensive expertise and perceptions, providing an invaluable peek into the world of integrated resorts. This paves the way for a lively panel discussion focusing on the most promising developing markets in Asia – a must-attend for those seeking to maintain a competitive edge.
Attention then turns to the driving forces behind the Philippines’ growth: non-gaming attractions and the influence of technology. Industry leaders, including Mr. Kevin Tan, COO of Alliance Global (parent company of Resorts World Manila), Mr. Angel Sueiro, COO of PH Resorts, and Ms. Lorraine Koo, COO of the esteemed Dowinn Group, will share their perspectives on how these sectors are molding the future of entertainment and leisure.
Naturally, it wouldn’t be a premier conference without ample chances to network and connect. Following the day’s expert panels, participants can relax and socialize at another refined cocktail reception. Afterward, prepare for the eagerly awaited Asian Gaming Awards, where the industry’s finest will be acknowledged for their accomplishments.
