The International Association of Gaming Regulators’ Annual Conference will take place in Lima from October 19 to 22. The program will address global regulatory challenges, international cooperation, and the evolution of Latin America’s gaming markets.
Lima will bring together gaming regulators, policymakers, and international industry representatives for the IAGR2026 Annual Conference, organized by the International Association of Gaming Regulators (IAGR), with Peru’s Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism (MINCETUR) serving as host.
The event will take place from October 19 to 22, 2026, at the JW Marriott Lima, under the theme “Steady hands, shifting ground: Advancing regulation in a connected world.”
The program will bring together perspectives from different jurisdictions on the challenges facing gaming regulation in an increasingly connected environment, with a particular focus on cooperation among authorities and evolving market dynamics.
An International Agenda with a Focus on Latin America
Keynote speakers include Yuri Guerra Padilla, General Director of Casino Games and Slot Machines at MINCETUR; Mike Dreitzer, Chairman of the Nevada Gaming Control Board; and Sarah Gardner, Acting CEO of the UK Gambling Commission.
Latin America will feature prominently in the program, with sessions exploring Peru’s evolving regulatory agenda, regional regulatory models, and market developments. Discussions will also examine efforts to disrupt illegal gambling markets across Latin America, Africa, and Europe, alongside cross-border cooperation among regulators.
Other topics include prediction markets and event contracts, sports betting integrity, anti-money laundering, gambling payments, advertising, affiliates, and platform responsibility.
