- Senior representative of the GGL
- Dr. Dirk Quermann, President of DOCV

Willem van Oort, founder of Gaming in Germany, commented on the upcoming edition:
“Following last year’s highly successful conference, we are delighted to return to Berlin in 2026. Our goal remains to connect the industry with regulators and broader societal stakeholders, and vice versa. This year will be particularly important as we expect to learn more about the outcome of the ongoing evaluation of the 2021 State Gambling Treaty and its impact on Germany’s regulated iGaming market.”
He also emphasized the event’s networking value:
“The Gaming in Germany Conference is the place to meet key decision-makers in Germany’s regulated iGaming industry, making it a must-attend event for anyone active in the sector.”
The organizers encourage industry professionals to save the date and secure their participation in one of Europe’s most relevant iGaming events.
