About EGR Italy Briefing 2026
The EGR Italy Briefing 2026 is a one-day, invitation-only gathering run by EGR Global at the Rome Cavalieri hotel in Rome on 20 October 2026. It is aimed at C-level and senior executives from Italy's leading igaming operators and affiliates, with regulators also eligible to attend free of charge; B2B suppliers can take part only as sponsors. The 2026 agenda looks back on the first year of Italy's new online licensing framework and covers market consolidation, licence renewals, the legacy of the advertising ban and new AGCOM communication guidelines, acquisition and payments trends, AI, channelisation and compliance. Sessions include an ADM keynote, executive panels, presentations and three parallel roundtables. All sessions are held under the Chatham House Rule with no reporting or recording, and the day includes networking breaks and a rooftop lunch. The EGR Italy Awards take place at the same venue on the same date.
