Upcoming Next.io Summit: A Convergence of Innovation and Ideas

Next.io is thrilled to announce the 4th annual NEXT.io event, set to take place in Valletta on 15 – 16 May. This highly anticipated summit is not your average conference; it brings together a global delegation of 5,000 attendees for a groundbreaking experience like no other.

The event boasts a diverse range of tracks and sessions to cater to the varied interests and needs of participants. From leadership and marketing to investment, HR, sustainability, technology, emerging markets/jurisdictions, and even personal development, there is something for everyone at Valletta’24.

The organizers have gone the extra mile to create ample networking opportunities, with a new hall dedicated to exhibitors, an entertainment area, and designated spaces for lunch and relaxation. Furthermore, a recent partnership with Ask Gamblers has attracted a wider range of affiliates and operators, guaranteeing endless connections and activities.

Unparalleled Insights from Global Industry Leaders

Attendees can look forward to hearing from over 300 industry-leading voices, including renowned c-level executives and experts. Notable speakers include Angus Nisbet, VP Gaming at BetMGM, Paris Smith, a gaming industry expert, and Lahcene Merzoug, CEO of PressEnter, to name just a few.

The highlight of the summit will be the captivating keynote speeches that kick-start each day. These powerful talks promise to offer unique perspectives and actionable insights that will leave attendees inspired and motivated.

Energizing Formats and Engaging Discussions

At NEXT.io, they believe in breaking away from conventional norms. Talks are limited to a maximum of 30 minutes, ensuring that each session is concise, impactful, and straight to the point. By keeping the number of speakers per session limited, participants have more opportunities for interactive discussions and lively debates.

This year, NEXT.io is putting CEOs under the spotlight with a thrilling twist. Each CEO will face a “spotlight” session where they’ll be subjected to 10 minutes of direct questioning from the host, reminiscent of the popular show “Mastermind.” These sessions are expected to be both awesome and insightful, providing a unique glimpse into the minds of industry leaders.

Promoting Diversity and Inclusivity

NEXT.io takes an active stance in ensuring diversity and inclusivity in speaker selection. The organizers actively encourage new speakers to be nominated by their organizations or through personal connections. This approach brings fresh perspectives to the table, making the event and its tracks interesting and informative for all attendees.

Networking Extravaganza and Collaboration Opportunities

Next.io Valletta goes beyond the conference itself and transforms into a week-long festival of iGaming. Participants are encouraged to arrive early and take part in the exciting activities scheduled from Tuesday to Friday. From golf and Padel to the popular Run Club, networking events abound throughout the week, fostering meaningful connections and collaborations.

A Technologically Enhanced Summit Experience

One advantage of hosting the event at the Mediterranean Conference Centre is the state-of-the-art main stage, which resembles a theater. The use of LED screens allows for animated visuals and interactive elements, enriching the summit experience. Additionally, the organizers have developed attendee applications that facilitate engagement and provide a platform for direct involvement in sessions and discussions.

Malta: The Perfect Venue

Malta, the headquarters of NEXT.io, was a natural choice for hosting the flagship event. The Mediterranean Conference Centre, with its breathtaking views of the harbor and the sea, provides an iconic backdrop for the summit. The support received from the Maltese Gaming Authority since the inception of NEXT.io solidified Malta’s status as the ideal location for this highly anticipated gathering.

Fostering Emerging Voices and Perspectives

NEXT.io is committed to promoting not only established experts but also the leaders of tomorrow. The Advisory Board plays a pivotal role in identifying emerging voices and suggesting topics and discussions that facilitate interesting and engaging conversations on stage. This eclectic mix of experience and fresh insights contributes to the dynamic nature of the summit.

Lasting Impact and Continuous Dialogue

The insights and outcomes captured during the Malta summit are far from fleeting. NEXT.io records the main stage sessions, utilizing them as invaluable resources for marketing and promotion long after the event concludes. The exchange of ideas and continuous dialogue with the audience and clients ensure a consistent message and allow NEXT.io to adapt to market forces, ensuring the ongoing success of this remarkable summit.
