Support for the inaugural edition of
Clarion’s Gaming Africa, the two-day conference and learning symposium taking
place across 24 and 25 October in Johannesburg, continues to gather apace, with
regulators, thought leaders and gaming companies all endorsing the vision for
the creation of a world class gaming event dedicated to the continent.
Jonathan Siddall, Chief Commercial
Officer at Cape Town headquartered Turfsport, is confident that Gaming Africa
will help to reflect the status of the domestic industry and, in the process,
enhance its international profile. He stated: “As the leading software provider
in Sub-Saharan Africa with over 450 installations, Turfsport is putting its
full support behind the vision to create the African continent’s premier gaming
event and one that will bring software providers, operators and gaming
innovators together in a world class environment.”
He added: “Clarion is renowned for its
ability to produce some of the very best B2B events in world gaming and will be
able to draw upon its international expertise and networking capabilities.
Every progressive gaming jurisdiction needs a shop window and rallying point
where all of the major commercial organisations and jurisdictional authorities
can meet, learn and move forward.
"The Turfsport business, which is
expanding rapidly into eastern, central and western Africa, will most
definitely benefit from this calibre of event. I am certain that the major
players throughout Africa will be very keen to participate in Gaming Africa and
play their part in helping to fashion the future of what is an important and
responsible industry. This is a knowledge-hungry part of the gaming universe
and the learning agenda for Gaming Africa is the correct mix of global and
African-centric topics which are relevant to both operators and regulators. It
(Gaming Africa) is a powerful proposition and, as other commentators have
suggested in the gaming business media, it could herald a new dawn for
Africa."
Created by Clarion following requests
from the industry for a quality business-to-business event dedicated to meet
the specific gaming needs of the continent, Gaming Africa will feature thought
leaders including Edgar Agaba, CEO, Lotteries and Gaming Regulatory Board
Uganda, James Mbalwe, Director General, Gaming Board of Tanzania and Jean
Claude Mushmire, Head of the Services Industry Development Policy, Rwanda
Ministry of Trade and Industry.
