Xavier Munoz Bellvehi, a managing partner of the Spanish law firm, Legal Link, a Spanish Law Firm says that they are in support of the conference and states that the approaching threat of regulatory changes requires operators to closely examine the paths that these regulations may follow and how they will possibly affect their operations and future strategies.

Included in the contributors are the director general of the Spanish Data Protection Commission, Artemi Rallo; the president of the Spanish Gaming Association (FACOMARE), Eduardo Antoja; the chairman of the Spanish Poker Association, Juan Barrachina; the Chief Executive Officer of Control Commission André Wilsenach, Alderney Gambling; the general manager Iberia of Betfair Espana, Sasha Michard; the chief strategy officer of Gioco Digitale, Italy, Carlo Costanzia; the development director of Codere Business, Fernando Ors; and the chief executive officer of Sportium, Alberto Eljarrat.

It is very positive to witness the people in charge doing the correct thing by tracking down the information that is out there so that those that are interested in this industry may understand the risks and potential gains that are available for their investments. Those who attend this conference will be better able to negotiate a path to online riches if everything goes according to plan.
