EDGE: A Groundbreaking Convergence of Gambling Conference and Festival
EDGE has made history as the first event to combine a premier gambling conference and an immersive gambling festival, held in the same venue, at the same time. This unique fusion of industry expertise and live gaming thrills is designed to push the boundaries of innovation while promoting responsible gambling as a core focus.
What is EDGE?
The entire gaming industry (poker, casino, sports betting) is invited to the Intercontinental Hotel in Dublin, Ireland, from October 29 to 31, 2024, to participate in the EDGE Conference (October 29 Gaming Expo).
EDGE (Euro Dublin Gaming Expo) defines itself as a “laboratory organized by EDGE Gaming Expo Limited” that seeks to enhance high-potential businesses with high-value players in all verticals of the gaming industry: poker, casino, sports betting, among others.
During these days, the conference will offer its participants:
- 20 workshops.
- Space with 50 exhibitors.
- Live broadcasts
- Networking hub
- Live poker tournaments with a guaranteed prize pool of €1,000,000, part of the renowned Irish Poker Festival.
Thanks to the last one, a unique environment will be created that will fill the space between B2B and B2C (business-to-business and business-to-consumer), ideal for high-level networking. EDGE will celebrate poker especially, seeking to create the largest poker forum in the world.
The largest responsible gambling conference in Europe
EDGE stands apart as the largest conference in Europe entirely dedicated to responsible gambling. With an array of workshops moderated by leading responsible gambling experts, we prioritize education, awareness, and the future well-being of both players and operators.
Attendees can expect cutting-edge insights on developing safer gaming environments, regulatory compliance, and practical strategies to minimize risks while enhancing player protection.
A crypto and blockchain hub for gambling enthusiasts
In addition to its focus on responsible gambling, EDGE is set to become the largest crypto gathering for the gambling sector. With a strong emphasis on crypto, blockchain, and innovative payment solutions, the event attracts pioneers in these fields who are reshaping the future of online and offline gambling transactions.
Workshops on decentralized finance, security, and future applications of blockchain in gaming are set to revolutionize how players and operators interact with digital currencies.
The world's largest poker forum
Beyond the conference space, EDGE proudly hosts the largest poker forum in the world. Enthusiasts from every corner of the globe gather to participate in live tournaments, share strategies, and engage in discussions about the ever-evolving poker landscape.
